Guardiola reported to be leaving City

[Creator Supremes]

Mentioned on the Arsenal v Burnley game commentary and a few places reporting it.

Maybe the 115 charges are about to be announced and he's got wind of them. End of an era if joins Jurgen in their career now being elsewhere.
Got to say the other managers in the PL are well off their quality.

Maresca the replacement.
FFS FSG, get into action and try to give Enrique whatever he wants to come to us.

It certainly helps us that all the other would be likely english club contenders are either keeping their manager or just going about getting a new one. Enrique going to Manchester would be a disaster for us.

Everyone keeps mentioning Enrique, but has he ever indicated that he wants to leave PSG (and why would he?), let alone come to the Premier league if he does?
Versus,.....I don't know..... going back to La Liga?

Why do Premier League fans have this over-inflated view of the league like everyone automatically just wants to (or should want to) come here?
It sounds just like Real Madrid fans anytime any player is linked with their club.
Except in their case, they're usually right.

For the longest time now the rumour has been that Zidane was going to end up in the Premier league - probably coaching the mancs - but that has never materialized. He's known to have very poor English (if any at all), nor any desire to learn or improve it, which doesn't seem like someone interested in every managing in the Premier League - and yet the rumours always persist.

It seems Enrique is the latest object of affection - particularly among disaffected fans of troubled clubs like ours currently is.

To me they're almost as ridiculous as the 'Klopp coming back to manage us' shouts, despite the fact that the man never misses any opportunity when asked to say how he's done managing club football (and probably football in general) and has no interest in returning to management.
He's literally told you he's not coming back, so why do you keep insisting.

Likewise, what makes anyone think that Enrique is going to leave a potentially 2-time Champions League winner (if they're successful in defending their title) and arguably best club in the world.....to come manage badly run English clubs that are probably not even going to pay him anywhere nearly as much as the Sheikhs are paying him to be at PSG?

Edited to take my preference into account. That's not to say that I wouldn't be happy if Enrique joined us, however I just can't see him leaving PSG, not that I can see Klopp coming back whilst FSG and Hedwards are still in charge of things.

It also speaks to the reality of how we're about to crown the Arteta-managed Gunners as Champions - and quite possibly (in my view) the worst Premier League champions ever,...... since maybe when Leicester won it.


Which lines up with why we never see Engish teams make it past the knockout stages in the CL anymore (we'll see how the Gooners do this year after having what has to be the softest draw anytime has ever had, with the first truly tough team they're going to face, being PSG in the final).

As compare to.......back in the heyday of the Klopp-Pep era we had four CL finals on the span of about 7 years, that featured at least a Premier League team in the final, with 3 of those being won by the English team, and 2 of those finals being two Premier league teams contending for the title against each other.

Guardiola to PSG where he can piss the league every year and throw most of his eggs into getting more CLs.
The trophy that he has been poor at collecting with Bayern and City, given their budgets.

Quite the stat that Liverpool,Chelsea and possibly Arsenal will have won the CL the same amount of times as Guardiola did in sa decade at City.

Yet lots of idiots are not just claiming that he's the best PL manager ever, or that he's the best manager to have managed in England, but that he's arguably the best manager ever.

One CL title at the two biggest or richest clubs in each of their respective leagues says that he's nowhere near to being the best in England, never mind the best ever manager.

Hes a champion round spit spitter. dunno where all these things come from.

Considering the amount of money thrown at them, their overall record in Europe is piss poor.

As was Fergie's. Zidane has 3 European Cups, is he one of the best manager's of all time?

We can question how City got to where they are, but to think Guardiola isn't up there with the best manager's of all time is mental.

The money obviously makes things easier, but as we've seen this season, or United have for the last decade it's no guarentee for anything.

Fully agree. We have our personal gripes with him and city but to put shade on his achievements is just bitter. His reach in the game is absolutely unbelievable,the amount of people whove worked under him that have gone onto success,the players he's moulded into different positions and the young players he's brought through is simply second to none really. That's before you count the trophies he's won.
