As everyone knows, you're only a mercenary if you don't accept a pay rise when changing jobs (at least one that's actually accounted for on the books)He left for a promotion and a raise like most of us would.
He'd also leave you if another top team offered him a package.
He's a businessman not a football diehard
So hiring someone from another club = stealing?Soriano and Bergiristain left Barca of their own volition.
City didn't steal them.
Once appointed they and the ignored but vital piece of the jigsaw Khaldoon al Mubarak oversaw many smart appointments in jobs a level or two below them.
Your delusion is off the scale.
United really had better succeed in this new era with Ratcliffe and Brailsford plus whoever they can steal from other clubs
Soriano and Bergiristain left Barca of their own volition.
City didn't steal them.
So what you’re saying is Soriano and Bergiristain left a prime Barcelona to earn less money for their passion project at the fairytale story that is City, whereas United stole Berrada from the plucky underdogs. Gotcha.He left for a promotion and a raise like most of us would.
He'd also leave you if another top team offered him a package.

So you agree united didn't steal him then?He left for a promotion and a raise like most of us would.

'this forum' in its entirety, make a declarative statement on guardiolas future? No, this is a nonsense post. either way, i dont see how it has anything to do with my 'delusion'. United are a giant of the game, always will be - city are a modern day project that were part of a new era of watered down football. Their clearly ridiculous success is now on the verge of being rightfully undermined forever - if their corrupt owners dont buy their way out of that too. De Bruyne will retire having never played for a big club if he doesnt leave city and in years to come he'll never be mentioned among the real great midfielders because everybody knows what city actually is. Haaland will be out within 2 years max, for the same reason. City are a cheap trick, an easy, store bought success and Guardiola knows this, and knows he's wasted all these years with 'success' that will never be respected and always be asterixed. And even then, he's still publicly singing about barcelona who he will probably return to someday. City are the Instagram/Youtube of football. They're a franchise. A historic club that sold its soul for cheap and easy success that should rightfully be taken away in the coming months. Hollow, pointless, vanity club.Your delusion is off the scale.
Years ago this forum claimed Pep is a traditionalist and would never join a "plastic" club like City. I insisted he was coming and was roundly poo-poohed
United really had better succeed in this new era with Ratcliffe and Brailsford plus whoever they can steal from other clubs to replace their recent dunces or there really are no excuses left for their slide down the list of blue chip clubs.
The bar is high and it'll take more than Berrada, Ashworth and your new part owners to clear it.
come on now, of course the state owned petrofuelled cheating middle east franchise are just your plucky locals. A true football romance story, like leicester.So what you’re saying is Soriano and Bergiristain left a prime Barcelona to earn less money for their passion project at the fairytale story that is City, whereas United stole Berrada from the plucky underdogs. Gotcha.
Nah, there's probably only 2 reasons for him still being there.Dunno why this thread comes alive every time city drop points. Guardiola will never be sacked. He’ll leave on his own terms.
Didn't they just let someone far more entrenched in their cheating walk away to their biggest rival?2. He's so entrenched in City's cheating there's absolutely way they'll just let him just walk away when he feels like it. If he could have, he'd more than likely be gone by now.
Wouldn't shock me to see him manage England one day. I'd hate to see it.Nah, there's probably only 2 reasons for him still being there.
1. He's got nowhere else to go. He's done Spain, Germany and England. Italian football is shite and the French league is a waste of time, because his only option there is PSG.
2. He's so entrenched in City's cheating there's absolutely way they'll just let him just walk away when he feels like it. If he could have, he'd more than likely be gone by now.
The delusion is strong with this one.He left for a promotion and a raise like most of us would.
He'd also leave you if another top team offered him a package.

Did they buy his brother a football club?Didn't they just let someone far more entrenched in their cheating walk away to their biggest rival?
Ah yes, he left the biggest goldmine in search for gold.He left for a promotion and a raise like most of us would.
He'd also leave you if another top team offered him a package.

Don't really care. But he was COO, which makes it hard to argue that he wasn't more entrenched in the cheating. But maybe you think Haaland also is more entrenched in the cheating because his dad was given a billion dollars or whatever when he was signed?Did they buy his brother a football club?
He walked away from Barca without any trouble, walked away from Bayern without any trouble.Don't really care. But he was COO, which makes it hard to argue that he wasn't more entrenched in the cheating. But maybe you think Haaland also is more entrenched in the cheating because his dad was given a billion dollars or whatever when he was signed?
Threaten to leave, given a bumper remuneration package as ambassador of UAE for tourism. That’s normally how it works with City.He walked away from Barca without any trouble, walked away from Bayern without any trouble.
City is his longest job, why hasn't he walked away yet? He's said a few times he would go, then signs a new deal. He either can't just walk away or he just has nowhere else he can go.
I'd be of the opinion that he left Barca too soon, now he's now paying the price for that decision because he's stuck in that soulless hole and he has no way out.
This could be libel.He'll never take on the Spain job as there's no guarantee of success. Bāld fraud. And a bald nonce. Possibly.
Come get your black bin bagsVery Phoenix Nights
The man is as rich as Croesus, they’re paying him £20m a year base salary but he’s almost certainly taking home significantly more than that. Might as well give it another year, aye.Nah, there's probably only 2 reasons for him still being there.

Like clockwork you always come on when they draw or lose a game.He's washed up.
I don't think even the bitterest of rival fans will fail to see Pep's genius to get the best out of his players.Crazy how every player that has worked with Pep say he's the most impressive, even some players who haven't. His colleagues too... Yet some armchair experts say he's overrated.
Yeah he's very good at managing payers he's gotten with City's Ill-gotten gainsI don't think even the bitterest of rival fans will fail to see Pep's genius to get the best out of his players.
Zlatan, Etoo, Sane spring to mind…there’s a few others that I’ve forgotten.Yeah he's very good at managing payers he's gotten with City's Ill-gotten gains
I think has man-management has improved also, has any top player complained about him since Zlatan?

Edit: Cancelo, Yaya Toure
With so many egos floating around, any manager is bound to run into a few players who they can't work with. Just money does not guarantee success. We've spent almost as much to be terrible for a major part of the last decade (Chelsea is another example). I understand he's a rival manager, but to be taking what is due away from him does not reflect well on us as fans of the game.Yeah he's very good at managing payers he's gotten with City's Ill-gotten gains

No surprise his players have no issue with their club and manager being cheats who bend the rules to win trophies. No need for an unhappy dressing room when you are guaranteed plastic trophiesCrazy how every player that has worked with Pep say he's the most impressive, even some players who haven't. His colleagues too... Yet some armchair experts say he's overrated.
