That's true for today's two most hyped up manages as well. Mourinho left Chelsea when saf started winning. And pep left guardiola after a league title loss. Of course their teams didn't collapse but the point still stands.
Jurgen Klopp

City, every chance.
Liverpool, no chance. They can't sack Rodgers after massively over achieving last year, and still in with a chance of a cup and maybe just about top 4 this.
United, Chelsea and Arsenal are still tied up for the foreseeable. It's City or abroad.
Possibly the same with Mourinho at real too?
Mourinho got sacked didn't he?
And the Pep line is pure
shit !I really, really don't want Klopp to go to City. I like him and I don't want to dislike him and it makes him tainted goods so he can never manage us afterwards.
Plus, if he does go to City they're not going to get instant success. He's a manager that needs time to implement and 'philosophy' and system. He's always saying the players at Dortmund are only as good as the system they play in. I doubt he'll get 3 seasons at somewhere like City to implement his game.
He's more suited for somewhere like Tottenham, Arsenal or (dare I say it) Liverpool. He'd be given enough time to prove he knows what he's doing.

Nailed on surely? Once the manager leaves there's usually an exodus.
With Klopp it's not true anyway. His contract at Mainz expired and he didn't sign a new one. It was already pretty cool that he followed Mainz into the second league despite a lot of better offers, but he wanted to fullfill his contract. I don't think he is running away anyway, he could have done it already in the first half, when things were much worse and not now when it looks better, he probably just thinks he can't help the team anymore further and that a change is the best for both sides.
Van Gaal is better suited to us right now but still a shame.
Think he'll end up at Real Madrid tbh. Manchester City are pining after Pep and hiring Klopp would put paid to that, Real Madrid won't have forgotten their past annihilation by Klopp's side and who has ever turned down Real Madrid before?

Could this start some sort of manager merry-go-round around Europe? Surely there's another manager somewhere who fancies Dortmund? (biggish name that isn't Alan Curbishly).
You do know this is a load of BS, right?
It's not, as I said in another post he quit Mainz when the chips were down.
Mourinho was sacked he didn't leave.
Cheers. I thought it was just a mutual decision he and abrahmovic took.
I could see him ending up at Arsenal if Wenger fancies retiring. Something is going behind the scenes and he has probably already agreed to something. The fact that City pretty much have decided they need a new manager means him ending up there is very likely too. PSG I have no doubt would love to have him also. I would have loved to have seen him here.
You may very well be on to something there. It would definitely make sense, he would be a better fit for Arsenal than he would the dippers.
He's going to follow Hummels, Reus and Gundognan to Bayern Munich.
And Pep to city?
The problem with City is, whoever they get, it's going to be a very good manager, whether it is Klopp or Ancelotti.
I think Pelli was a really weird signing at the time, but this time, I think it will be a big name

He is a great character but some say he isn't great tactically and has been found out at times. He plays very good attacking football but has struggled defensively.
He's a very good coach and he's done wonders with Dortmund, but some people are talking as if he's a certain success. If he comes to England, whether it's City or Liverpool or whatever, it's a new ball game both in terms of the style of football, the demands, the sort of players he can and is expected to bring in, etc. It'll be a big stepping stone.
Exactly, it could be a rocky start. I think he is a great guy and plays very attractive football which would make me envious if another premier league team gets him.
It's pretty obvious City are desperate for Pep, for me this is why they will not sack Pellegrini, I'm sure it was said that Pep wouldn't go near a club that hires, and fires managers at the drop of a hat.
So they are probably trying to prove to him that even when times are crap they'll stick with their manager.
A bit of a risk by them if you ask me, they should be all over Klopp as I doubt Pep will go near, personally i'd imagine him seeing out his Bayern deal taking a year off, then coming to United.
Barca, Bayern, United it just makes too much sense, especially with LvG laying the foundations for him again.

Why is it obvious?
Big fan of the hairy photo bombing mentalist. There's no more engaging manager in world football. Would be delighted if he ended up at OT someday. If he parks himself in Spain for a couple of years I imagine there's still every chance. City are the only big uk team potentially in the market for a new manager in the summer, and unless it's a deliberate smokescreen, all the noises coming out of the etihad suggest they're not interested.
I disagree, I think City will use the Klopp situation to say to Pep, commit to us now or we'll drop you and go for Klopp.
Pretty sure Pep would be more than happy to link up with his old Barca pals, particularly as he'll probably be under pressure given Bayern are probably going out of the Champions League.
Sorry left out the IMO bit.
Been in the media enough recently, having no interest in Klopp, sticking to Pellegrini, to me all points to them waiting for Pep, if not him the who.
Do me a favour, that will only end one way, not a chance they will get Pep this summer.
I was thinking more that they would want some sort of commitment to join them when his contract runs out in 2016. However you never know if the relationship between Bayern and Pep breaks down before then...
I suppose you might have a point about him committing to joining after his contract is up, but it'd be a risk.
You'd be basically writing off next season, hoping that Pellegrini can keep them motivated and in the top 4, on the flip side if they got the right players in and won the league, and got further in CL then it would be hard to get shut of him without looking stupid.
For me they should be all over Klopp, he is there now, just like LvG was for us last season, I'm sure we'd have preferred Pep too.
I'm not faulting his record, thought he hasn't anything in over 2 years now
Any chance Lowe might leave the national team and cash in on his current high profile.
He has not had much top level club management so perhaps his retirement planning could be boosted by a big contract?
Klopp would seem a great option to replace him?

If he doesn't take a year off I could see him going to Liverpool and Rodgers going to City.
Why would City go for the inferior manager when they can have Klopp himself.
Bild saying Tuchel will sign until 2019 and has already spoken to Sami Khedira about being the 1st signing.
Not sure about that, I have a sneaky feeling Vieira is in the frame, in fact I've got money on it.
Napoli would be a good shout, but not a big step up from Dortmund.
