Only Guardiola Can Save Us

Postby zabbadabbado » Wed Apr 29, 2015 11:24 pm

I have heard tonight from a friend who is in the know at the Club that Pellegrini is definitely assured at least another season as City manager.City have absolutely no intention of going for Klopp as his long term successor because he does not fit in with the Spafia vision for our club.I am gutted. If Pellegrini does not make the top 4, highly unlikely he will now fail that objective, then the next manager will only be an interim manager for a season, maybe 2 seasons tops.Or Until Guardiola decides he does/doesn't want the City job. God forbid he ever turns up at the scum.

How can this be good for us, treading water for a few seasons pinning all our hopes on a manager who right now might even be negotiating a contract extension at Bayern Munich. I am not fucking happy at all. We are City ffs.

"yes" Guardiola is a decent manager, but fuck me do we have to wait 4 or 5 years hoping that he might/might not arrive one day. How can this not have a negative impact on our development. Even signings might be reluctant to come to us not knowing who the manager will be long term.

I fear for a City top 4 finish next season should the status quo continue. If as looks likely we are to continue with Pellegrini for another season we really are fucked. All so the Spafia can wait for their Spanish mate. If he ever does come that is.

If it were down to me right now I would fuck the Director of football off and go for Klopp.Ticky,tacka is alright in Spain. We are in England. German football is more like English football than Spanish football. This season we have seen how shit Tticky tacka is with a side full of unfit players in their mid 30s.Another season of this shit could see us finishing mid -table if we are lucky.

If Guardiola wanted the City job he would already be here. The Spafia obsession with him is becoming embarrassing. City future is being planned around him.That isnt right in my eyes.

It's a shame your friend in the club hasn't told you for sure that Guardiola is coming seeing as they are so much in the know.

Aside from a very select few, eg the spafia, it is highly unlikely that anyone in the club knows the plans, perhaps even the count himself. Even if reassurances have been given, how many times in football do we hear the manager get the vote of confidence to try and stop things imploding in the squad, then find 2 weeks later they are binned anyway.

If we are confident of reshaping the squad this summer, I'm fairly confident that Pellegrini will be upto the task of making a decent fist of a title challenge, then whatever happens the year after, happens.

From recollection, were yoi no the one championing mancini to the bitter end?
Because he won two trophies in 3 seasons?

Roberto mancini.

You reckoned the only problem was poor player recruitment by marwood etc?

You've been very quiet since then. Until now.
When a guy who won the double and then had a mediocre transfer window( for all the reasons discussed) is seeing his job on the line?

I've raised some doubts about pellegrini, but I'm fucked if I'd carry on like keeping him and allowing major recruitment would be a disaster.

I don't get why you are carrying on like we have david moyes in charge?

nobody mentions Klopp played for mainz his whole career and went straight into management with them also, he managed to get them promotion after a few seasons but got them relegated again and couldnt get them back up, so resigned. He was given a chance by Dortmund and did great, but he hasnt exactly got the same pedigree as Pep!

Roberto Mancini will be manager next season regardless,FACT.

Cavanni is going to PSG done deal.And we have already put the feelers out for Zlatan Ibrahimovic Roberto Mancini is prepared to break the bank for him.He says is his type of player and has worked with him before.

Could all be bollocks,but this rumor is doing the rounds and is pretty strong.

Don't know how i feel about Zlatan Ibrahimovic.I feel a bit underwhelmed if i am being honest

It seems the more our fans talk about Pep coming or not the more some of us seem to not want him. I gather it is mostly because it seems like we aren't often the first choice of top players and managers and some kind of pride kicks in.

This talk is media drivel mostly, and arguably from the anti-City bent of some media sources/journalists. If he comes I would surely be far from complaining at all. Acting like we don't want or could benefit from having someone like him is madness.

If he does not come we will survive, and it is unfortunate we have this seemingly lame duck situation with Manuel if this is the case, but sometimes that's the way it goes, and we could do far worse if he remains next season. The man won two trophies last season, lest we seem to forget.

The so called 'lame duck' situation could also be because it is Vieira who they have in mind. Or it could simply be that the owner, chairman, chief exec, d.o.f. , players, staff, Vieira & most associated with the club, who actually KNOW what happens on the training ground & see it all day to day, think Pellegrini is doing a good job.

One thing which is a FACT; if most of the biggest moaners on here were in charge at the rags, they would have sacked Ferguson 5 times before he won the league, & another 5 times since & appointed complete fucking clowns in his place & wasted fucking millions on shit players who were in vogue for a season.
It is not always an improvement to sack the manager & it often does actually turn around from this kind of position back to a title win the following season, in spite of all the know it all whingebags claiming it doesn't.

There are people at the club who know what Pellegrini does. They will decide if he stays in the job or not, & who replaces him, & when.

They won't just sit around hoping Pep decides to come. They will either get an agreement or not even bother to ask for one, because he isn't on the agenda at this time.

It's City fans that are talking about Pep. Not City as a club. Not players. Not Bayern. Not Pep.

It's clickbait shit.

If we freshen up the squad and weed out the ones who aren't totally committed the count will be able to deliver for us. If guardiola really is keen to come here then fine if we have to twist his arm and stuff him full of money then why bother. Calm down and carry on

BTW did anyone see the paper tittle tattle of Paddy to Marseille as manager?

Not a lot of faith in it but if we did let him go I'd be super bummed unless this is his time to bone up for 2 seasons or so then come back while the count tries to keep his seat warm with his cold, undead, old-cunt ass.

Imo that would be better for both parties. He would be a big risk for us. We can always send him with our best wishes and attract him back if he does well. Let him get some top experience as a manager, imo.
