Wtf is typical about losing, winning and drawing away from home?



The whole concept is bollocks tbf.

He had a record points total at Real & has won several titles elsewhere.

Results can only be called typical if people disCount half of his career.


"Several titles"?


3?

Of which last one must've been over a decade ago and none in Europe?

Look, I'm n ot saying he isn't going win anything with us, god I hope he will, it's just that we seem to be lacking consistency. Mighty highs and lows. Ergo "typical Pellegrini"
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

What consistency is that?

He should be winning every game? Because we just played three games, two of which we won and one that we drew against a tough side.

I really don't get it

You are acting silly now. This has been going all year, couple of amazing games and then some Cardiff or Villa thrown inbetween. And point wasn't a disaster tonight but it was lucky point and we were shite.

Remind me where last years manager is now. And how many titles we won.

I'm not acting silly at all.

Our last three we won two and drew one.

What's typical about that?

Typical was that after couple of good games we had a horrible game yesterday. He can't keep up consistency with the performances. That is a pattern that reoccurs consistently with us.

Is that simple enough?

Exactly.
And if we don't win titles (remember Mancini was getting sack regardless of FA cup final, so just any old title will not do) it could be that our current manager is at Fenerbache this time next year. So let's hope he can find consistency because last thing we need is another managerial change.

I don't agree that if we don't get titles this season Pellegrini will get the boot. Mancini got the boot not for finishing second, but for an awful record in the CL.

A quarter final slot in the CL and a top 3 finish and I bet the board would be delighted. A cup would just be a bonus. Not saying I agree with them but I am enjoying this season and would be happy to give him time as long as the football continued to be this entertaining.

It's unlikely he would get the boot this season unless we fail to compete imo. So long as we put in a reasonable challenge & don't go to shit, I recon he will survive, then they will judge him on next season.

They have tasked him to win, of course, but I strongly believe he has been told to do it in the manner he is attempting to. I think that comes from the very top. If I bought a club & spent a billion quid, I would demand entertainment.

Due to that, I believe there is a good chance he will be given more leeway than he would if he was just tasked with going for results.

There is of course the possibility that he is keeping the seat warm for Guardiola, in which case he may get 3 years come what may.

Where does this 'Pep to City' notion come from? I just can't fathom the idea of a manager saying to us 'Yes, I will come but not until I've been to Munich for a few years'.

Nobody knows what's going to happen and the thought that PG would give guarantees of turning up at ours whilst he maybe winning everything over there just seems alien to me.

It wouldn't be a guarantee. I am currently trying to form a group of former coworkers -- friends really-- into a new team and we always knew we wanted to work together again. Friends do that. I'm sure they've sat around over some chorizo and rioja and said "barca was awesome. We need to do it again somewhere."

Esss normal.

I understand why it might be out there but I've seen it mentioned a few times now, as if it's a deal.

Hypothetically, what happens when this designated time comes and Pellers is winning us everything. Do our top brass just say to Pellers 'Sorry Manuel, you always knew you were here as second choice but now we've got our man, do you mind stepping down?'.

Oh it's certainly "simple". I'll give you that.

So typical is that we play great for a while, then we underperform or have an off day?

Like most top teams do?

Got ya!

Well my first thought when I heard rumours of these Spanish blokes coming in, was whather HRH & Khaldoon had a plan for a Pep/Messi/Barca style setup. But Soriano hadn't arrived yet & I didn't know for absolute certain that Txiki was coming, or if Txiki actually rated Pep. Then I read up on it & found that that Txiki thinks Pep is basically God in human form. Therefore the idea Txiki wouldn't want Pep, is a non starter. To get Pep, thanks to Bayern's interest, they would have almost certainly have had to promise him that Mancini was going which was impossible at the time. When it did happen it was too late.

When Pep agreed to go to Bayern, at that very time, he stated that he intends to manage in England in the future. I'm pretty certain that Pep will not have agreed a deal to come to City in threee years time, but I also think it's very unlikely we are not his first choice for if/when he does come over here.

So the next manager imo, after the Count, they will be hoping for Pep, be that 3,4,5 years. If they have to sack the Count, it spoils the continuity & possibly loses them Pep, as a young relatively successful manager would be unsackable. If Pep falls in love with Bayern, then he will sign a contract extension halfway & that will be that.

But they are an obnoxious bunch of cunts & we are nice, so it's a possibility.

If he is coming here one day & we don't get him though, the rags probably will.

Thanks for that. Pep to us is more of a thought process rather than any real knowledge of us bringing him on board in 3 years.

That's all very nice ... and in that story add this that at some point Messi would want to prove he's not a one team wonder and he can do it in another league too and want to come to Premier League and well with Pep coming here and thus, therefore, thereby ... you get the drift ...
