Oh piss off Pip, we don't care anymore, you're overrated! Another Maureen, manage a ready made club at the top, for a bit, and do worse than the fella before you, who strangely enough isn't hailed as much as you. ****.

So it will be City, United or Chelsea but most likely City. At Barca he had Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Ronaldinho (although he phased him out), Deco, Eto'o etc at their peak and really only had Madrid as rivals. Credit where it is due he had them playing super stuff and built the team around Messi - bombed Ronaldinho & Zlat out of the team.

At Bayern they had just won the treble and took the best player from their main rivals in consecutive seasons - in fairness anyone could manage Bayern to the Bundesliga and he hasn't won a champions league.

It will be very interesting for him in the Premier League, all the "smaller" teams (as this season has shown) can beat the top teams on any given day and the top teams all have money to buy. He will have a lot of competition, more than he has ever faced before. If he goes to City you'd wonder how many of them fit his "style" and I think they'll need an overhaul in defense and midfield but their attackers are good. The only thing City have is money and lots of it so buying the players to fit his style won't be an issue for them.

It is just getting harder and harder to succeed in the Premier League now - we have to hope that Klopp has got some miracles up his sleeve!

Guardiola is doing my box in. Whilst the media have a part to play, it's extremely cuntish to play up to whole charade and disrespectful to managers that still have a job to do.

He should have kept his mouth shut until May.

It'll be City. 100%.

He's gone, let it go

I find this very interesting though, he was in the mix and he only spent like three years with us.
