Definitely. He hinted at retirement last year after about 2 tough games. Also needed a sabbatical from the stress of managing the world's best team at Barca. Something not quite right with the bloke...
The state of Guardiola | Regrets Redmond incident
- Thread starter SER19
- Start date
May as well shut the forum and sack every pundit then.
I find it odd that when certain managers or players do things there is a higher percentage of apathy towards it. It's not the end of the world but people are going to discuss things like this, nobody is asking for him to be castrated
He should do it to his own players. By his own admission telling an opposition player what style of football he should play is incredibly disrespectful to the manager that is trying to coach them to get points - which he nearly did away at league leaders
He's lied in his post match interview saying he was telling Redmond how good he is... yeah right by screaming in his face.
He has some serious problems, he is a lunatic.
I won't disagree with that. I didn't know he actually said that to him. I thought he spoke to him about his quality, but just watched his interview he said he did say it to him.
He clearly wasn't screaming in his face earlier gave him a high five and even put his arm around him, so I'd assume he did praise him for his style. Then went off about how his team was playing.
Savage
Sure does touch his nose a lot... 
IF Mourinho reels City in at some point we will witness a monumental meltdown from Guardiola, ala Keegan in 96.
I thought about about that too. Definitely a sign.
There is now 5 threads on the main page of the football forum relating to Man City
white text for white powder.Sure does touch his nose a lot...
He wouldn't and hasn't done it. Instead of talking face to face with Zlatan he dropped him and stopped talking to him 6 months after Zlatan was bought.
That's what Zlatan tells everyone.
His nice guy act is fake. It’s been said that he and Mourinho are more similar then you’d think, the difference is that Mourinho doesn’t pretend.
He's a little c*nt, Mou is as well just to balance it out. All the serial winners are so arrogant when things are going their way.
I like that Mou has been humbled though and that he's got something to prove here, he's still an arrogant jerk and a horrible loser but he's a bit more human post Chelsea disaster.
The meltdown that will be Guardiola if they somehow blow this gap will be something to behold!

Don't think he will leave city anytime soon, and hopefully at some point Jose beat him to the P..L. I also wonder how he will behave after dropping some points and we close the gap hopefully.
Would be a fair comment if he didn’t manage a side with 40/42 points in the league and 15/15 in the CL. He’s just a man who is obsessed about football to a point that it’s unhealthy, but also a winner. Imagine the league with 10 Big Sams and 10 Mourinho’s, and then reality is good again.
Well that's even more relevant I could argue. He's doing exceptionally well and surely must thrive on different challenges by different teams - you can't buy the feeling of scoring a late winner like that.
To go on the pitch in full view of cameras and tell an opposition attacker how to play is really poor form, even after winning. If I were pellegrino id be livid to be honest. It's so crass
More so than anything, he has no right to go up to Redmond as a player and start screaming at him for time-wasting. They are employees doing their jobs who take instructions from the manager, if he has a problem with the time-wasting why not have a quiet word with Pellegrino when he shakes his hand at FT instead of screaming at one of the players who's just doing - as the whole team is - what they're told to do?
Also feck knows why he had such a problem with the time-wasting specifically. It all got accounted for and they got 6 minutes of injury time and a 2nd goal and the 3 points as a result! You can understand if there were only 2 minutes of added time or something, but no, they got the full amount and got the win.
Just go and celebrate ffs, any sane manager would be expressing their emotion positively at that moment, they're come through a tough game with a last gasp winner.
He's definitely got a few screws loose.

Just seen the incident. Never mind his mentor Bielsa, Guardiola is the real 'EL Loco'.
When has he ever put on a nice guy act? Always been a bit of cnut, even as a player. In Spain it wasn't so obvious because Mou was trying to out cnut him on every turned and succeeded. The guy is a nutter who went off on a tirade against Bayern's medical team for not getting players back to full fitness when he needed them and proceeded to blame them for reoccurring injuries that happened because he didn't pay their recommendations any attention.
If people only now realize that this guys is borderline insane they have missed the rest of his career. Unfortunately he is also a genius and his teams play football like no other at times.
To his own players fair enough, but he has no business ranting at oppo players for no good reason. It's no big deal, but at the same time a bit weird and disrespectful.
This sums it up really. There is not a single successful manager, or make that professional in any field really, who does not have a bit of an insane nutter side to them. I am not sure why the shocked reactions. It's not like that side interferes with how good he is at what he does, if anything it might be a direct correlation to it.
Tapping Redmond up, perhaps.
Continuity ar Barca was a lot more about the players being phenomenal and Tito changing nothing. As soon as Martino arrived his influence started disappearing.
José and Chelsea on the other hand... that was long lasting. Had his fingerprints all over way way after he was gone (I credit him their CL win more than Di Matteo). Gets to the point there are many "Mourinho-like" players who joined, fit into the blueprint, and I see them as classic Mourinho Chelsea players... when they actually never played for him.
The guy is a nutter. If things stop going his way then he looks capable of much more erratic behaviour. To be honest the FA should look at the incident. If it was Jose there would be media uproar.
Tired of that bs.
The primadona is always trying to put on a show.
Remember some thing like that with Kimich some time ago.
Someone should tell him that the stars are the players.

He spoke to Harry Arter last year after a game and also offered some kind words after he lost a child mind.
Anyways, my question would be would he do this if his side has drawn or lost? He won the Bournmouth game too.

He's classy when they win 4-0. But geez if Jose is gonna get shit for kicking a bottle them what does he deserve for acting like Keown? At least Keown was a player caught up in the intense testosterone nature of players plating a match.
That was just shit. I honestly think I would have pushed the maniac down.

Messi was the monster,effectively cut him down to size anytime they met..barca has changed their style and are not doing too shabby..its a myth that you have to play football one way..
Guardiola was completely out of control, manically grabbing Redmonds head aggressively, and hitting his chest whilst bawling at him.
All managers get excited but this was something else. For a mamager to lunge and jump at amd intimidate a rival footballer for not playing the way he wanted them to is borderline psychotic.
Not only a fruitcake but an overblown ego who has at the aggressively violated Redmonds space which amounts to thteatening behaviour. Even more pathetic trying to buy his way out of trouble by covering it up with lies "I was just praising him telling him how good he was". Bellemd supreme.
This needs to ne looked at by the FA.

Pep is a proper coward and twat, many ex-players have really nice stories about him.
So you are saying others are not obsessed with football. See it’s because of things like people hate pep fanboys. If tomorrow Jose says something silly like this guys like you will be the first to tear him down. Sir Alex has managed us for more than two decades and yet he has rarely criticized opponents tactics. What’s with this “only my way is perfect” crap. Give Southampton manager 400million he will also love to dominate teams. If pep was so good why didn’t he win the league last season or progress beyond RO16. Because he was not pragmatic and was stuck with his philosophy.
Pep deserves credit for what he has done so far this season but he cannot expect others to play his football when bottom half team’s manager could not spend what pep has spent and do not have a kdb and Silva like player.
He went crazy after the Everton draw so he would have gone crazy with Soton players. I do see a pricky side of him slowly showing up.”Hey look at me , I am the boss and rest can just suck my balls”.
I know it is highly unlikely but imagine him blowing up the lead to a Jose’s side. He will turn mental
It's not that unlikely. Mourinho gets under Pep's skin rather easily. Guardiola's overpumped ego needs to be deflated in fact the entire overpumped (with Arab dollars) plastic UAE project at Etihad needs lancing.
This. Simple as.
And I'll go a step further, he's over-hyped and will wobble as the season goes on.
Ever since Pep presser in the CL semifinal in 10-11 season, Mou has hardly spoken about Pep. They've been here for almost a 1 year and half, Mou has done his mind games with Klopp, Conte and Wenger. The man knows he isn't going to get in Pep head 
He's a grade A bellend.
