Muzchap 8,966 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 There's no truth in that at all mate. Just some really childish speculation by the media.Vilanova is breaking records with Barcelona this season and has had more points in the first half of the season than Pep ever had. He's doing extremely well. It's highly unlikely that Pep is going to go back and Vilanova will become his assistant again. Barca don't need Pep and Pep doesn't wants a break from football, followed by a new challenge.Also, Tito is recovering very well and has been at the last four training sessions and was in charge for Barca's game last night against Espanyol.Sorry for quoting you by the way, I know you said not to. But I'm not arguing... just clearing things up I guess. Haha that's cool - yeah i saw the same reports, but it's when the Chemo and Radioligy kick-in, completely destroys the immune system and after seeing friends go through it, there's no way he could do training sessions For me Pep would be the ultimate, I genuinely think Roman will give him 3 years - just need destiny to work in our favour And you can quote me on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any reports on it. Sandro Rosell (Barca president) did say that Tito will be back as full-time manager within the next two weeks, so I can't imagine he would be getting chemo. You're welcome to prove me wrong on this though, as I'm not sure.And yes, Pep makes perfect sense. I'm not going to say why now but if you look back in the thread I left a post about why I think he would be great for us. @The only place to be made a great point earlier. He said that Pep would be unlikely to be sacked if we were to go through a blip for a month or so because if Roman sacks Pep, then who's left that's a better option? Roman has been chasing Pep for a long time now. When the likes of AVB and RDM were sacked, Roman still had Pep in mind (which is probably why he didn't hesitate).

But certainly after any cancer op, they 'normally' follow up with Chemo etc?Either way I wish Vilanova a speedy recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I posted this in the Mourinho thread:I've been thinling about it lately...Would Mourinho returning be a good thing? He loves the physical and dominating tactics with players like Khedira, Makélelé, Essien, Mikel being important. Whereas CFC are seemingly trying to move away from that ethos and implementing a more technical and fleet footed style. Wouldn't it be counter productive to bring in a manager whose entire philosophy is at ends with the players that are being signed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Jose is not or will be signed by Chelsea anymore, I feel.Once dismissed, how would Chelsea look in the public eye if they were to bring him back ?Currently, his true character is seen at Real. My way attitude will never sit well with uncle Roman, I feel.Therefore, I would suggest to forget about Jose for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Williams 166 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wouldn't it be counter productive to bring in a manager whose entire philosophy is at ends with the players that are being signed? I have to agree with you on this one, all of our recently signed players (especially the big names) have had an emphasis on being technically gifted, smaller players. Imagine mazacar trying to play strong physical football. :lol2: That's why Abramovich practically salivates over Guadiola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I personally don't really care anymore, i'll support whoever it is, but i know he will be fired soon anyway.This just says it all really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It's got to be Pep, surely? He said he wants to manage in England, many close friends like Johan Cruyff said his next destination is in England, and it's no secret Roman admires the way Barca play..I wouldn't be against this appointment, its a risk but a risk worth taking.

bushman 2,043 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Recent or over the years Chelsea´s reputation of win or get lost, just might scare Pep to come in.Even though, he is one of the best. Having said that, personally I am not sure if I want to see Chelsea playing some boring tick-tacka style of football. As for Roman´s admiration of Pep´s style. I believe, Roman just wants to win games, trophies... & Pep already proved he can deliver. The question still remains the same. Can Pep deliver the same with Chelsea ?

Corner 456 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Recent or over the years Chelsea´s reputation of win or get lost, just might scare Pep to come in. That's the thing, it's going to scare every manager and probably always has. But managers still took the job and other managers still will. Why? Ambition, ego, determindation... most likely money.

Henrique 9,133 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Mourinho is not a good long term guy, as soon as the team is not winning anymore., he creates a bad atmosphere, blaming the board for not buying more players, blaming the referees, blaming the players...

Ambition, ego, determindation... most likely money.MONEY is the name & Chelsea is the game, I feel.Even though, Pep or Jose both are loaded with money but still too young to pack it in.Pep just might be scared stiff to get fired by uncle Roman & Jose is of dubious reputation he just might come in providing Roman hires him.

MADEZ 9 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Frankly speaking i don't want to see pep at cobham and many people think he's gonna conjure magic like how he did at barca,it is two different stories, ''barca academy and desperate to achieve chelsea'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyMailman 15 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Simple question. At the end of this season, who do you want to be the next guy in charge?My preference is Guardiola and he seems to be the club's first choice too. Looking at where we are and where we're looking to go, he seems to be the best choice and he's available......kinda.Guardiola aint coming.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Guardiola aint coming.And you're basing that on what exactly? (I have very low expectations of the reply, so even the tiniest insight will impress me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 7 people want Benitez. The sad thing is that some of them are good posters.For me Benitez comes across as an intelligent person. I know he has said things in the past but who cares, if anything then it shows he cares for the club he is managing and sticking up for it, mind games-banter, whatever you call it comes with the job. If he continues doing the job he has done so far, keep in mind the reception he got from the fans and the pressure put on him. It isn't an easy period either with club legends having contract problems, coming in mid-season when we were out of the CL more or less, busy busy schedule coming and so on. From that list, I'd of course pick Mourinho but I'll stick to the reality and face the fact that he won't leave Madrid (unless sacked) and if he did, perhaps some other jobs would be more suitable. Never rated Guardiola that much either, great coach of course but he also had the best squad in history of football to play for him, can't really judge his managerial skills before he took up some other post at another club. Other names are just next AVBs, doubtful they'd get the control from the board Mourinho or Guardiola would. Benitez is just my choice because it seems the most realistic one.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 So Guardiola had the 'best squad in the history of football', so gets little credit whereas Mourinho inherited a team with Cech, Terry, Lampard, Makelele, Robben, Cole, Duff, Gudjohnson and Gallas and he gets a lot?Despite being one of the architects of arguably the greatest team to ever play the game, it's amazing how underrated Guardiola is still.
