The Next Manager?

[Tomo 21,751]

I'd take Wenger here in a heartbeat. He has no money to spend and a squad with about 2 class player and still has them in the conversation every year.

Imagine what he could do with our squad and resources.

He also had a team that on paper should have been dominating Europe, yet they struggled to shrug off a United side deep in a transition period.

I cannot understand why people want Pep? Inherited an amazing squad, including the worlds best player that consistently changes matches by himself let alone Xavi and Iniesta, it is always attack attack attack, he seems to have no plan B. Tactically I haven't seen anything special either!

It is going to be such a mistake to appoint Pep and he will get a massive pay off, Roman will finally realise he cannot achieve his dream of Barca and probably sell up! Ok maybe not the last part but..

Because everything I've read and heard about him makes him sound like the best choice for us going forward. It's one thing to have a good squad, but getting them playing good football and working hard is another thing, plus he's a great tactician in my opinion. Look at the Champions League Final against United where he completely outwitted Ferguson. He's not perfect by any means but I like his view on football and on life in general.

Plus I've said this before, but I think he's one of the few managers out there that Roman would give enough time to.

The other guy I'd personally like is Klopp but I can't see him coming here any time soon.

I think what the poll shows is people like what's familiar and are prepared to ignore Mourinho's last days at the Bridge, the fact he doesn't work well with Roman, that he doesn't want to work under a DoF, that some of his behaviour has been pathetic (gouging a guy's eye is what cunts do I'm afraid) and that his Madrid team (with the second best player in the world and millions of pounds worth of talent) are languishing in 3rd place behind their neighbours. Plus there's the old sporting (and shagging) adage of 'never go back'.

Just saw this on twitter... Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri

According to Sky Italy, Guardiola reached an agreement with Bayern Munich

This might be true, and I think Bayern has best chances to sign him.

Sky reporting that Pep reached an agreement with Bayern. Let the forum erupt

[Hutcho 8,443]

Well they have been strong favourites recently so it wouldn't be overly surprising. Oh well shit happens... Klopp would be my next choice other than the special one which seems highly unlikely... Or low actually...

[Rmpr 8,977]

Pep has already agreed to coach Bayern, ManCity, Chelsea and to return to Barcelona...

Lets wait before we go crazy!

There's nothing on the Sky website as far as I can see.

It's Sky Italia reporting it

It's Sky Italia reporting it

They're not the most reliable, especially when it's about other leagues.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, one day it's Chlesea the next City and now Bayern..

About Guardiola and Bayern: it's categorically NOT TRUE that he's agreed with Bayern. Or with anybody yet

Guardiola can only be judged on his time at Barca. The question is to what extent this shows Guardiola's skills. Is it to Pep's credit that they performed so well? Vilanova seems to be doing even better so far. What can Pep do with players of less quality? There's no way to tell. I see no reason at all why Pep couldnt fail just as miserably as most of our managers.

Really hard one. Mourinho proved himself in his time at the Bridge and will seem to be the most obvious choice but I think Abramovich, if he has the choice will want Guardiola.
