CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Out of Pep, Simeone and Carlo as the next City coach I'd have Carlo.Who would you prefer?Definitely Carlo, even though I'd hate to see him manage another English team. On the other hand, I am very intrigued to see Pep taking on the EPL challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Probably only a matter of time before Mourinho, Guardiola, Simeone and Klopp/Carlo will all manage EPL clubs at the same time. I suppose this is what the new big money scheme is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Manchester City line up Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti to replace Manuel Pellegrini at end of season http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/11445665/Manchester-City-line-up-Real-Madrid-manager-Carlo-Ancelotti-to-replace-Manuel-Pellegrini-at-end-of-season.htmlTelegraph is not that reliable, is it? I really hate the idea.. Ancelottis sick attacking style with Agüero, Bony, David Silva (and De Bruyne?). We should never ever park the bus against them if true. Let's just hope Pellegrini stays. His Real Madrid and his City were ok but Ancelotti is another story.Telegraph not reliable? Thats news to me. They, alongside guardian are the most reliable newspaper for sports related articles in england. The ubreliable sources are the likes of mail,dailystar,goal,talksport et al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 He will be an amazing fit for any top club period. It makes sense given city's status as perennial underperformers in europe. He has the right credentials but it will be a shame if he joins a rival team in england as he's my favourite manager, personality and character wise and would I.e be weird rooting against him.

Too much daily shit Anyway, this is bad news. Please Signor don't go to City..Out of Pep, Simeone and Carlo as the next City coach I'd have Carlo.Who would you prefer?Pep>Simeone>Ancelotti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose this is what the new big money scheme is all about. How about this. Pep to arsenal. Carlo to Manchester city. Simone/kloop to Liverpool. It would be better if Ronaldo back to united and/or messi to chelsea/city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 How could we know if Ancelotti was not the right man to rebuild a team? I think he was, it was the board that fucked up. Villas-Boas and Bobby were poor choices.. We sacked Carlo after one "bad" season, ridiculous. We finished 2nd in the league(6th, 3th, 3th since that) and played a CL-quarterfinal. We let Ricky, Ballack, Belletti, Deco and Joe Cole go and had Lampard, Anelka, Drogba and Malouda as players over 30. We were not patient enough.Ancelotti has a lot of experience and he coached PSG and Real Madrid since we sacked him. What if he takes the City job, produce a good season or two with those players and build a new City? Also, this City squad is not that old, they could easily have 2-3 good seasons, especially with a few new young players.The evidence so far suggests not, he let AC Milan stagnate before his eyes and they still haven't recovered, we only did because Munich helped speed it up.His second season was woeful, the second place finish was because 3 teams bottled it worse (71 points doesn't get top 4 most season's), we had that fast start on the title rebound but after that we were woeful, the football was stagnant and sterile and Carlo was doing absolutely nothing to change it, his idea of pragmatism was starting one of Anelka and Kalou and swapping them round after an hour. Let's not forget naming lineups in the presser, lets just say when he announced Bruma was facing Villa, if Houllier wasn't planning on playing Heskey then that quickly changed.When the going's good under Carlo thing's are good, but in adversity is when he tends to get found wanting.

After we won the PL we lost Carvalho, Ballack, Dec and Joe Cole but only signed Benayoun and Ramires. Was it Ancelottis idea to start the season like that? There were numerous disastrous moments that season but it was pretty impressive how hard we were fighting and at the end we actually had a chance to win the PL.

I do agree that Ancelotti can't be faulted for everything that went wrong in the 2010/11 season but as Tomo pointed out, he was found wanting when we had that major slump and not to mention, at times, he can be quite tactically stubborn/clueless as well.Had a chance to win the Champions League that season? Are you serious? We were uninspiring throughout that campaign and didn't even look like a contender for the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching games that season were painful, we played terrible football, ten times worse than anything else we have ever played, we were horrendous.Im still scarred by that game against Liverpool for Fernandos debut, who the fuking hell gets tactically done a kipper by Kenny Dalglish To his credit some of our performances in the double season were incredible, in terms of from minute 1-90 Stoke at home is the best I've ever seen us play, but if I had to pick the ten worst displays ever from a Chelsea team, 10-11 would dominate that list, with Sunderland and Liverpool at home leading the way.Also we were never winning that league, even if we won in Manchester we would have had to win at Goodison by a higher score United beat Blackpool at home, even that it was an embarrassment how we handed United the easiest title decider possible.

MU lost 2 points at Blackburn so if we won at Manchester..I don't want to split hair though, my point is that the team worked very hard to have a chance at Old Trafford, we applied ourselves. We defeated MU, City and Tottenham in March/April, I was really proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,916 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The hell would Guardiola lower himself to Man City's level and manage them? They're way too small time for him.Simeone or Ancelotti I can see. My guess is they throw the moon and stars at Simeone and make him an offer he can't refuse. He'll probably accept too because there's not much more he can do at Atleti and in Spain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watched the game back then, you could see there wasn't really any urgency to go for the win, which they would have shown it had they needed the three points, even after falling behind in the first half. After they got the equaliser, they were just passing the ball around to run down the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were knocked out in the middle of the season but the guys stood up and did their best so I was happy with them.(it's impressive how you recalled that Blackburn-United game, wow ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namika 922 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 If we had won at OT, we would have been champions, surely, with same GD and playing an average Newcastle at Stamford Bridge the game after. But history is history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
