Pep Guardiola | Leaving City: Official

If he goes, so what?

The cheating syndicate still have their sugar daddy to throw their wad onto the next shiny shiny.
 
Just thinking, we really did a deal with the devil to have both City and Liverpool have their greatest ever managers in the same period we had a dodgy accountant running the club.
 
Just praying City don't throw bag at Enrique
Can’t be ruled out of course but I think they'll have the replacement already done and dusted having known internally this was happening for a while - the noise has seemed to be Maresca for months so my guess is it will be him.
 
I recon Amorim would do a decent job as City manager, they already have most of the pieces for the puzzle that is his system and would be able to buy him the missing ones
 
Any other sources getting in on this? Longer it goes the less believable it becomes

There is no guarantee of success though, their success was sporadic before him.
Although the whole operation is a well oiled machine now...
 
115 charges will be officially proven during the World Cup, baldy will leg it before the fire starts. Like his own drug tests when he was a player.

It’s come from Oliver Holt who must know something as he doesn’t really break stories
 
Surprised, thought he'd want to go out winning the league but guess he made up his mind a while ago and personal reasons (wasn't he getting divorced but then didn't or something?)
 
The Maresca links to all these other jobs were way too quiet for this not to be a thing. He hasn’t been seriously linked to any of them.
 
Knows he can't evade the charges forever and probably has word the verdict will be in this summer.
So going out on a double probably feels a good way to go out rather than have next season affected by a points ban ruling the championship out and not having the stomach for another 2 years, plus knowing this team are well off dominating.
 
An already weak top end of the PL gets weaker. A good summer with the right signings/appointment and we should be competing for the title next season, no excuses.

It would be quite shite to see him do well there but he's so married to that terrible formation I'd bet he ends up pissing everyone off, especially the likes of Haaland. Also who are the wing backs in this formation who are going to come in and get 10 assists each? I just don't see it. I think he'd be sacked before he could fully implement his ideas
 
Going from Guardiola to Maresca feels like the reverse of going from Pellegrini to Guardiola.
 
So this is what it felt like when SAF decided to leave. Only no cheating and more dominant.
If Arsenal don’t feck up (always a chance) then another key difference is that Sir Alex left as a premier league champion.
 
Difficult to find someone that’s an upgrade on Guardiola.
Seems like they are moving away from his style so I'm not sure. It's not that surprising they've been below par the last two seasons and the types of players they are buying are much more direct/physical and it's likely why they brought in Klopp's assistant because this end to end style and set piece focus isn't really what Pep believes in. Arsenal might still mess up but will be the first time ever in his career he's missed two league titles in a row (off the top of my head) and there's no additional factors like City not spending, they just aren't as good as they were.
