Chelsea in pole position for Guardiola

[RamiCFC9 258]

At the end of the day tiki-taka is effective and the most succesful brand of football played nowadays.Proof is Barca= number 1 challenger for every cup they are in and no wonder why.Borussia they are just pleasure to watch but also very effective and that with limited finances. Spain-2 Euro's, 1 WC, playing tiki-taka while before that they were the sympathetic team that "somehow" never makes it to the later stages.Swansea - a team with low finances managing to secure their place in EPL with ease and proving the english "experts" wrong (at the start of last season Swansea was consideret the weakest team from the coming 3 lol).

On the topic of Dortmund it would pain me to see Klopp go to someone like United when Fergie eventually retires. An excellent excellent coach. In my opinion, tactically he's up there with the very best at this present moment.

That is because he does not work for a big money club. Imagine what he could do if they were able to keep Barios, Kagawa and Sahin...

Although I agree he is a great tactitian/coach, we never saw him on a big cup clash, pressure of a bad sequence, ego management, etc.

RDM has been doing everything more or less right this season, hardly put a foot wrong. Maybe you can count the loss to city and atletico a wrong, but other than that i think hes doing a good job, the only thing that has got me thinking is that how Roman thinks. Now that he knows that Pep is available, would it lead him to be less lenient to RDM??? I hope not, RDM is our legend.

the guy who's managed possibly the greatest team ever ahead of the guy who's managed West Brom and MK Dons.

And what does that prove? I'd like to see Pep manage MK dons or Robbie manage Barcelona before I judge who is better than who.

I think they are both good young managers that have A LOT to prove before they become world-class managers. I don't want Pep here until I at least we see him manage a team other than Barcelona. I am not discrediting the amazing work he did there, but just saying that Barca are a special case and the situation here at Chelsea is completely different. Pep right now would be, imo, a huge risk that we don't need taking.

And for the record, I genuinely don't want the tiki-taka shit here. Look at the Celtic vs Barca game stats last night to see the reason.

if rdm leaves i only want the special one here.... its time to take the trio to next level just like happened with didi,lamps and terry.. then again rdm is doing just great....

Won't be a surprise if heads to City. They've already hired Txiki Begiristain, and now probably want to complete the set

Roman needs to get real...

Hiring him does not mean that Chelsea will play football like Barcelona and win trophies like Barcelona...

why can't we develop our own style?

I think Roman is just like Pep. He gets nervous when we don't have the ball. And the solution to that is to keep possession.

What Roman wants, Roman gets.

It depends what happens in the league IMO. If City don't win, Mancini will be out, if they do win, I think he'll probably stay. The City job would naturally be more appealing for coaches as they appear willing to give coaches some time. City was hardly lights-out under Mancini for the first year and a half and still have problems. If Roman were their owner, they'd have gone through about 3 managers in that period.

then why did he sack scholari & ancelotti for?

plenty of possession we had under ancelotti...
