I agree, my point was that throwing money at it for a quick fix isn't always the best way and can backfire with some overpriced players on big contracts
Bluemoon goes into Meltdown
- Thread starter Logan!
- Start date
city should fire him and then hire him again for the new manager bounce.

Look to be honest, I see you're a Liverpool fan, so I won't my hatred towards the club. But in saying that, I recognised Liverpool winning the title as one of the best achievements a club can go through with everything considered.
Compared to the money Liverpool spent and what Man City did, Liverpool had no room for mistakes it was pedal to metal all the way. Yes Liverpool did spend big on a few signings but they were money brought in from the sales of Suarez and Coutinho.
City however are a different story. They are cooking the books, in terms of contract and sponsorships. There is no smoke without fire with them lot. They are no better than the drug cheating the Russian athletes did, it financial doping they have done. They have ruined football in more ways than one.
United had money to spend due to their merchandise, TV rights and success. We've seen it with Forest and Everton, they have been slapped with points deductions but somehow City who spent incredibly more money to get where they are, have got away with everything.
Pep for me is not one of the greatest managers to ever live and the fact alot would say he is above SAF is mental. Pep has never achieved anything without Messi or money. That's like playing football manager with an unlimited budget. Yeah he is a good manager, not everyone can do it with money, but he's never really faced a challenge other than before he spent a boat load of cash. His first season was horrible by money bag standards. He never brought a Champions League to Bayern who are the strongest in Germany and the elite in Europe. It's joke to be honest and I take great happiness watching his and Citys downfall.
Wouldn’t work. Normally a new manager bounce is because the players get a new lease of life and the atmosphere changes. If it’s the same manager, nothing would change! It’s just be like another day. Think it through logically- if what you said worked teams can just sack the managers after every game and win everything! That doesn’t make sense does it!

Didn’t you see his name? I thought that was obvious?
"Hey guys! I'm your new manager, Pop Guardiola. I'm so happy to be here. So, so happy."
The real thing that Bluemoon Forumers should be questioning is how Pep has let really good homegrown talent leave - Rogers, Palmer, Delap etc and then replaced them with expensive flops from Europe and beyond.
Hi, my name is Josep...
It would indeed be a rough period.
Has he self harmed after this one?
I looked up Southampton's last 12 results
Contains two wins and a draw, better than City

I worry for his health. He's going to scratch his head off.

Exactly this Rogers and Palmer are levels above Doku and Savinho, for Palmer you can add Grealish to that as well what on earth were they thinking
In 1966, a report by the Manchester City Council complained of the bad supplies they were getting and said the firm delivered the worst meat to the poorest parts of the city - not exactly a shining light + I had to eat the bloody stuff as a young kid at school, one of my earliest memories is of seriously crap school meals!
In 1978 the company was fined for poor quality and excess fat in the meat supplied for Cheshire County Council's schools - that was before he sold his shares.
He basically died before any police investigation could get going so it got dropped
It would be amazing if this Karmic water slide ends in removal from the PL, but they’ll get off. Every oppo I know thinks they’ll get off.
He returns with a hair transplant and mustache, Pepe Guardado.
My name is Guy Incognito
What I don’t get is why we didn’t do it every twenty games with Ole, seeing how fecking magical his bounce was.
Noice!
He'd show up something like this (Bobby Valentine in disguise after being ejected).
On their Youtube they won 2-1, apparently. (Look at the video title)
What's Josep Gvardiolo doing in the Impact Zone
Aww come on man, it’s a scouser with ABU at the end of his name. Dont feel the troll.
ooops, the Abú isn't what you think, never realised that, anyone from Ireland will understand, basically means 'forever' and is a very common way of expressing support for your county
I honestly can’t believe there’s any other reason for this drop off other than the players knowing something is coming.
It’s not just the run of form in a vacuum. The players looked like Villa Park was the last place they wanted to be yesterday. They put in a level of effort that is suspicious to say the least.
That’s with my conspiracy hat on anyways.
I have another conspiracy theory to offer: They are sick and tired off Pep. Their bad run started shortly before his contract extension was announced, so probably the players knew it was coming and just want to get rid of that maniac.
Tá fhios agam, but I don’t buy it
grand but not that deep, I don't like United but have great respect for what they have done as a club over the years, no respect for what City and Chelsea have done in recent times.
Back on topic, I'd agree with what a few have mentioned on here regards Pep's contract. It seems definite that Ederson and DeBruyne wanted out last summer, maybe Silva too, Halland's overall effort is very questionable. Probably tension between Pep and a number of the top players. I still say they'd be crazy to push Pep out like lots of them seem to be calling for, time for a rebuild, Fergie created more than one great team, Klopp left Liverpool in a very good state, Pep will not want to leave with City on a downward spiral, would put a bit of a dent in his legacy and overall reputation.
The City thing is fascinating. I started a thread after they won the first title calling them cheats. It was closed down. You could not say this stuff back then, at least in here without being called bitter!! Now it’s edging towards acceptance that the cat is well and truly out of the bag. Pep’s heart is not in it. God only knows what the conversations between him and the oil bosses are like. Surreal, I’ll bet.
This is the Bluemoon goes into meltdown thread, not City, Pep, Haaland, Chelsea, Liverpool or even Arsenal thread.
Can someone post some quotes, please?
Merry Chrismas Berties Yeah, not buying it either. Nobody wants Wexford forever.
Edwards became chairman of the club in 1965 (he inherited the family meat business in the 40s) and oversaw a period of relative decline. Comparing him to Moores is like comparing Abramovich to a Glazer.
If we have had a white knight, it'd be John Henry Davies or Louis Rocca. The former saved us from impending doom (something silver spooned Liverpool had no worry of) whereas the latter was instrumental in appointing Busby and arranging crucial investment (James Gibson).
Anyway, we need to stop being such Rags. This is a Bluemoon Meltdown forum, not argue with Scousers page!
Feck!
Feck!
Hate it when that happens
Same. Someone needs to put a full stop to it.
We’re almost in full Pep out territory. These are all from the first 16 out of 119 pages in the post match thread. Haven’t even ventured into Pep’s thread.
Sacking after all the success and the shiny new contract is going to be hilarious.
Sacking after all the success and the shiny new contract is going to be hilarious.
I think it stems from football fans bloodlust of wanting someone to pay for the performance they just watched. The futher we get from the end of a match, the less posts about sacking Pep will occur. I've personally yet to meet a fellow City fan that seriously think sacking the greatest manager we have ever had already is a good idea.
Sacking him now won't be good as they'd get someone competent. Let him run them to the ground.
