The Next Manager?

[Henrique 9,133]

I know its the currant bun but Guardiola is set for Citeh

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4740888/Pep-Guardiola-snubs-Man-Utd-Chelsea-AC-and-Bayern-for-City.html

To be honest if there is one team in the world that I dont see Guardiola at, is Manchester City. Why he would choose City, instead of an italian giant like Milan or a team like Bayern? I dont see a point in snubbing Chelsea for City.

Anyway, Guardiola is living in New York City, The Sun is from UK, and they have a top source is Spanish football. Nice.

The Sun is owned by someone who lives in NYC. Why would he choose City above an ''Italian giant''.?

Lots of money for one, 3 ex-Barca men on Man Citys board for another, and unlimited transfer funds for another reason. Theres also the small detail of being left to manage without some owner interfering and getting the sack three months down the line. But if you see them as the ''one team in the World '' that he wont go to' thats fine., I personally doubt he'd consider Crewe. Arent football forums great ?

Can you imagine? I'd have a great deal of respect for a top manager who went to a poor club because he wanted a real challenge. They don't because they know that there are only 10 teams in the world that even have a chance to win anything important with any regularity. If they go anywhere else, they simply will not win and therefore will not be considered top managers. Managers like Rafa or Mourinho are smart. They won't take jobs somewhere anywhere except at those 10 teams.

It all has been discussed before, but the problem wasnt "a season without trophy", but how he failed to use players from academy, like when he used Paulo Ferreira as CB instead of using Bruma against a small club in a Premier League game, or how he failed to find a solution when some players were injured, or how he failed to give United a game in UCL quarter finals, and in his last days he was more concerned about how to use Torres and Drogba together than anything.

He was like Mancini, a guy that can win a PL playing a nice football but is not the right man to make a club go forward.

Playing youngsters has never been an issue for sacking. Must have been the UCL game and results, hence the trophies. Damn shame really. (He maintained a very good win percentage during his 2 year reign - 61,47%, Mourinho and Hiddink have higher, but keep in mind Hiddink was in charge for only like 20 matches)

They are great, but sometimes you read some really dumb things, like your Crewe example, because only a 10 years child would understand what I mean. yeah, The Sun is owned by someone who lives in NYC, but I'm not sure if the owner has something to do with the top source in Spanish football, and I dont think the owner (Murdoch, a 81 years old australian guy), who lives in NYC as you said, even know who Guardiola is.

Oh, you just forgot that City sacked Mark Hughes few months after he was appointed, and Mancini just won PL last season, how can they sack the manager that gave them their first really major trophy after so many years? People said that about Carlo, didnt they.

A football club is made by hundreds of people, so I really dont think 3 ex-Barca men will have anything to do with Guardiola's decision. Yeah, football forums are great. Really great.

This will never happen, you need background to be able to do a great job (money to be more specific). It is not about being smart, it is about creating a name. Then, the good job opportunities will come. You talk like their only quality is chosing where to manage, like if doing so they are automatically winners.

There is a lot of hard work in it too. Also, they are not smart in what they do, everyone would do the same. The difference is that they have climbed their way up (without resources at first) and now they can comfortably choose the best option.

You talk like Mourinho is a winner because he knows how to choose where to go and Harry Redknapp isnt because he doesnt. It is not like this! Harry would have gone to Real or Chelsea if we was offered such jobs, but he wasnt and Jose and Rafa were...

Too true. They never take on real challenges, which, if they are supposed to be so good at what they do, you'd think one or two would swallow their pride and help a lower club out. You or I could manage at Man City with unlimited resources, wear a city scarf, and it helps if you speak in broken English, and use ''This is Football'' in sticky situations

Why managers need to get real difficult challenges to proof themselves and everyday workers dont?

It is like finding a job, if you are offered a job at a very top company, with resources and excellent wages, why do you need to choose to be a cashier at McDonalds? Too prove your real vallue?

Very hypocritical...

Well googled about Murdoch

Exactly City sacked Hughes, and the same will happen to Mancini if its a trophyless season. We shall see where Guardiola goes, but saying Man City is the ''last team he would go to'' is a bit unlikely

Good managers are managers who have tactical awareness and have complete respect of his squad. They have a new pep talk for every half time and keep their men motivated on the task hand. Now that's a skill. Best example being Mourinho / SAF, who prepare

their teams like they would be going to a real battlefield fighting for their lives.

Whats hypocritical about it ? A lower league manager does the same as a top manager but it is a lot more difficult at the bottom.

The Macdonalds analogy is ridiculous. Its a different job from a top manager altogether.

Saying a manager should choose a lower team instead of a top one just because it is a lot harder is hypocritical...

Anyone in their position would do the same. Sorry, you might try to fool yourself, but you would not say no to 10mi/year and title chances to risk your carrer in a "challenge" at a Championship team.

You got caught up with the MacDonalds analogy, but I am sure you got the point and understood it.

I did not have to google right now about Murdoch, he also owns Fox Sports, and Fox Sports just arrived in Brazil last year. Globo, the dominant tv in Brazil, tried to boycott Fox Sports, so some people were thinking Fox Sports were the poor guys, when in fact these people are really powerfu, and The Sun were involved in some kind of scandal in 2011, so I read some news about him at that time.

Guardiola used to be a man that talk about passion, beautiful football and that kind of thing. Roman bought Chelsea amost 10 years ago, there is already a story there: 2 UCL finals, players like Cech, Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Ballack, some memorable european nights. Right now, only Barcelona, Real Madrid and Barcelona sell more shirts arount the world than Chelsea.

I dont know you, but I really dont know what these people at City really want. It seems even the players there just dont have that kind of passiion when they are playing. I dont think there a lot of people interested in City's job, so for me it is really hard to imagine Mourinho or Guardiola there.

Fucking hell I am getting ganged up on by Brazilians here, supposed to be going there for the World cup as well....

It was hypothetical situation that Toronto mentioned, I am not advocating it as FIFA policy.

However if I ran a football authority I would make it fucking mandatory that they earn there filthy lucre not from just poncing about in the technical area, and if they fucked up they would have to work there way up from the lower eschelons.....
