Bluemoon goes into Meltdown
- Thread starter Logan!
- Start date
this strikes me in his blank expression when interviewed after losses, he doesn't get it
I'm not convinced he'll hang around if he is not successful this season. Doesn't seem to like city, even slates fans for leaving early. Haven't heard the Berties sing that awful song either-'We got Guardioala'. It's all gone pear shaped.

Gotten on a few bluemooner's nerves.
Quitting after one season will do more damage to his reputation than any league finish.
Roger Roger, over and out! Heading back to base......
Some great responses to this thread...
They're all fat and old and slow
Might have a point... Toure looked like a cart horse today...
It's all the Diet Coke
He has done since he signed his last fat contract
He wants his cake and eat it...
Barring a major disaster, he will be here next season.
Ahuh.... he'll be stamping his feet like a spoiled kid soon, "Its not fair.... I didn't inherit a great team and a league where most opponents are walkovers!!!!! It's not fair, soon people will start thinking the quality of the players/leagues was more crucial than my management ability, like when I turned players like Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, Robben, Muller, Neuer from average nomarks to great players all by myself!!! Mwahhh, mwahhhhh!!!!" (stamp, stamp).
When he leaves, the players will all throw him in the air (a la Barca and Bayern).... but let him hit the floor.
If they get a proper DM and Pep can organize a defense out of those spare parts, they might be better. Its hard to see that happening in January although they've been linked with N'zonzi.
He quit Barca because he couldn't handle having to maintain the high standards, he couldn't handle the pressure of the job. He also wasn't loved in Munich, anyone would have won the league with that treble winning side. He's like a guy that sits at a poker table, hits a flush in his first hand then cashes in his winnings without playing another hand. Then people start saying he's the greatest poker player in the world.
He's a good manager, don't get me wrong, but I've never seen him go through any real struggle. He quit his last two jobs when the going got tough, great managers stand up in the face of adversity, and overcome it. Maybe he'll sort City out and make them great, but I think it's more likely he'll walk if it doesn't get much better soon.
The similarities between Pep and LVG are unreal. The slow boring football, preferring to pass rather than shoot and being to stubborn to change a system that clearly isn't working.
I love seeing them suffer what we had to suffer for the last 2 years. I hope Pep remains stubborn.

They weren't singing the "We've got Guardiola" song today were they?? Couldn't shut the feckers up when they beat the Gooners! They certainly don't think he's the best manager in the world now.
It will be a major disaster If he leaves imo, Lvg Mk2 is not a million miles away from the truth. They are not very good and it's great to watch(not the football but the predicament).
I can see Pep quiting City at the end of this season and going to Juve, where he can win the league relative ease and focus on the CL (like Bayern basically).
Also Juve fans are growing a bit sick of Allegri's ultra conservative tactics, and they don't have faith in him to deliver them the CL.
Who knows, I wouldn't bet against it.

What does quitting the EPL after one season say about him as a manager and person?
Especially after agreeing to the move close to two years before he signed.
Pep out? Pep worse than Pellegrini? 
Maybe declaring Fergie his idol in the same week saying what lame support they are had something to do with it
City are not looking good (certainly no consistently good), but Pep won't leave after one season. The EPL is currently a league where you can do great in one season and much worse in the following one, and vice versa. City may not be impressive this year but they have the tools to improve next season. Pep is unlikely to leave without at least winning the English title.
Of course, the owners may want to let him go, but I don't see that happening if City finishes in the top 3, especially if they make a good run at the UCL (Monaco is beatable).
Not sure the going got particularly tough at either Barca or Bayern tbf, barring CL pressures. The league at least took care of itself at both those clubs.
The Barca job seems to age people like Obama's when you see the before and after pics.
There's no way Guardiola will leave in the summer, but the pressure WILL be on him if he has a bang average season (no trophies and a 3rd or 4th finish).
He's doing no better than Pellegrini, but then, City have made a small habit of replacing good managers (Mancini, Pellegrini, even Hughes to an extent) with someone more 'glamorous' as the owners seem to think an explosion of popularity worldwide is imminent and a more recognisable face in the dugout will be the catalyst for that.....well, its been a good few years now since they 'made it' and they can't even fill their own stadium in Manchester, let alone bring in these imaginary thousands of fans from other countries.

Respectably disagree. He will win nothing there, maybe a cup like Lvg but nothing major.
Bluemoon after a loss is a scary place.
Maybe, but I think that City will have a good enough squad to win the league title. I hope, however, that you're right
But at what cost ? He spent 47 million on Stones, 15 on Bravo, took the 20 million risk with Gundogan, 27 million Sane isn't doing much. Aguero isn't going to come back to form. And now they think Jesus is the messiah.
£17m on bravo and £43m on Sane.
Thanks. Meant 37 for Sane, typo. I took it from wikipedia. Perhaps 17 and 43 are in Euros ?

Jesus is their saviour!
There's a City fan on Guardian's comments section by the name of BlueMoon. He really does my head in. Bloody unbearable tosspot. I've seen some bitter rivalries over the years but something about the worst of City fans really makes me want to inflict something painful on them.
Yes. apologies.
You also have to wonder (in the hypothetical scenario where Guardiola fails) what City's owners make of the Barcelona revolution. They have spent ungodly amount over the last 5-6 years, not only on the team but also on the scouting and the academy, in the hope of emulating Barcelona. They hired Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain to run the show. Their record in the transfer market has been appalling- the money they've spent on Fernando, Dzeko, Jovetic, Mangala, Otamendi and others who haven't made the grade was all probably tolerated because they were the goose that was going to lay the golden egg i.e bring Guardiola to Manchester City. They've basically spent the last 4 years chasing Pep, and all their activities have been built around the idea of Guardiola doing at City what he did at Barcelona. What happens if all of that amounts to nothing?
I think the "Barcelona revolution" or Barca way of doing things is independent of Guardiola. Tixi and Soriano genuinely believe that's the way to run a club and why they were brought in. They've done well apart from transfers. Their facilities are the best in the world, their youth teams are simply ridiculous. I think they can be relatively pleased.
The core of the team is still the one Mancini bought and it's been 3 and a half years since he was sacked.
Their transfer dealings over the last 4 years have been appalling.

So is it another rag conspiracy why they lost yesterday? I've not been over for a ganders at BM as I feel dirty afterwards.
Just had a look at their United thread just to see what they are saying.
I'm positive every time I leave that place I feel depressed and in a dark place
I can't say much for the rest of the forum, but maybe they just use that as a personal e-stress ball.
More hatred in there than ISIS...
They also have an overrated 11 thread, which mainly consists of United players, with a few Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool players.
When anybody puts a City player in there, they get ambushed
Maybe they just don't rate their players anymore so they are excused on that basis
