PEP

[6TimesaRed]

Nailed on for the Chelsea job.. No way will he end up here.... We ain't a 'big' club anymore.. the days of attracting big names like that are well and truly in the past..

how do you know he hasn't been approached already and said yes?

I was merely pointing out the glaring contradiction in your post Spidey.

 

[Shadey]

Boooo to you jono

 

[6TimesaRed]

Boooo to you jono

TBH.. It hurt to say that.. the sad thing is though it's true

I realise that but the owners may want a long term plan with a younger manager which I'm sure they would explain if they were indeed courting pep

Which post would that be then ?

 

[spider-Neil]

Which post would that be then ?

I realise this is sarcasm but shiek is pointing out I said a long term plan with pep but of course to do that we'd have to sack kenny which is very short term seeing as we gave him a 3 year contract.

 

[Ryan]

We could get him

Pointless suggestion. He's a manager, ergo he's meaningless.

 

[Halmeister]

Unfortunately, Jono is right.

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

Bilbao manager supposed favourite for Barca. I'd give Pep a go at Anfield if Maureen was unreachable.

What did Pep do in the second 90mins of football that was different to the first 90 mins against CHelsea?

heh. someone had to say it.
one day ross will man up and retract his ridiculous ideology

 

[spider-Neil]

forget about those 180 mins and think about the previous 4 years that has elevated a team to the point where the opposition have to put 11 players in their own penalty box to stop them scoring.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

It must be really difficult to get that Barca team to win games.

 

[spider-Neil]

the point is barca weren't always like that. rijkaard took them to a level and pep surpassed that level.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

So the side that Rijkaard put together matured and got better?

 

[doctor_mac]

For all their passing teams into the ground, you must ask just how successful that would have been without the genius that is Messi- a once in a generation player. His stats are absolutely astounding in Pep's era.
GP gls ass.
2008-9 51 38 18
2009–10 53 47 11
2010–11 55 53 24
2011–12 55 63 26

Well, previously they had the genius of Ronaldinho. It's amazing that they were able to effectively replace him without missing a beat because he was sensational. It's testimony to Messi's talent that nobody really talks about the buck toothed one any more.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

I hope Pep comes over here to manage, it'll be interesting to see how he gets on.

 

[doctor_mac]

Look at this year- in 55 games he has 63 goals and 26 assists. He has been part of 89 goals this season thus far!

Ronaldinho was brilliant, no doubt. But those stats are preternatural.

 

[keniget]

I hope Pep comes over here to manage, it'll be interesting to see how he gets on.

I think there is a bit of Rafa about him. He's stubborn and a bit of a tinkerer.

 

[Rosco]

Pointless suggestion. He's a manager, ergo he's meaningless.

I know but it would keep the simpler fans like you and Spidey happy.

 

[spider-Neil]

HA!

from now on ross there should be no critisism with regards to the manager because his presence is neither here nor there.

 

[gkmacca]

I think there is a bit of Rafa about him. He's stubborn and a bit of a tinkerer.

Kenny's stubborn and a bit of a tinkerer, too!

 

[gkmacca]

Confirmed that Pep's off at the end of the season.

[LeTallecWiz]

So a year break and then back to Barca!

 

[Cerberus]

The news will spark strong media speculation over a potential move to Chelsea, regardless of Guardiola's wish for a break. Blues owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly ready to pay whatever it takes to bring the Spaniard to Stamford Bridge, but it is likely to take more than just money to tempt Guardiola into another job.

 

[gkmacca]

Abramovich reminds me of that Pete and Dud sketch where the businessman says: "Integrity? That's a valuable thing and I'm willing to pay for it!'

 

[hmmmmm1]

If he leaves Barca, I cant see him joining chelsea straight away as he wants a "break" from football.

Chelsea give the job to di matteo, firing him around Feb and pep comes in.

.

Liverpool it is then..

 

[Tal]

So a year break and then back to Barca!

A year's break and then smoothly into the Anfield hotseat as Kenny steps down at the end of the 12 months he 'deserves' for this season's cup run.
