Pep not salty at all it seems
Sounds a little rattled doesn't he

Im not totally behind this just yet, City can offer way more money and challenging for trophies every season, have they lost staff that influential leave without a fight, to me it doesnt seem right, hope it does obviously
I reckon in the corporate world a job at United is still seen as a lot more prestigious than City, despite the lack of on-pitch success.
And that's before you factor in the fact he's levelling up to CEO, as well.

And the othersYeah you handed WHAT contract to Anthony Martial,this must be a joke right

If that’s true, what a stupid thing to say and has clearly hurt him, guardiola always has come across as a little childish when things aren’t quite going his way.

By the sounds of things Pep’s been one of their main posters in recent daysPep’s been reading Blue moon
I always get the impression that Pep is well aware, and a little bit bothered, by the fact that City will never be respected like United.
He often shows us a lot of respect and I feel he'd have loved to manage here. He knows that if we get things right, City will pale in comparison to our stature. Arrogant man is worried

He mad as feck Now I do get the feeling this really didn’t go down well at the Bertie office over the weekend.
Ronaldo is probably the worst of all we got baited because he was seen as United legend which he ruined in the end anyway. But it seems like it didnt take too long until baldy spoke about Omar once more and because this time he seems butthurt, it's a good sign. Because for players he used to say 'City can't afford it', 'the fees dont make sense' after we signed them, sat on his high horse because he knew his bait worked. But now he's sitting with cactus up his arse. Good to see.Possibly joking but honestly it's crossed my mind. History has proven when we have 'beaten' City to someone they've gone on to either be awful, a massive waste of money or downright disastrous.
I'm sure there are others
- Sanchez
- Ronaldo
- Maguire
- Fred
- Pogba

Yeah but Berrada is not some spotty rookie. He is an executive that has earned the rank. He also will not work in isolation, he will constantly consult with Blanc and Brailsford as fellow board members.These decisions are only successful in hindsight, doesn’t make sense to be patting ourselves on the back before he’s even started working for us. Same thing for Ronaldo, no one was saying it was an elite move when a spotty 18 year old one trick pony first arrived.
Some very weird takes on this..
1. You only get rid when there is better alternatives, - you get rid when results are not improving. Or it becomes untenable to be with. How comes we can bin Ronaldo mid season for bad behavior without alternatives but for a coach we need alternatives before deciding otherwise.
2. ETH hasn't become bad manager over night - - - Question should be When did ETH become a good coach? When? In Holland? Even De Boer won the league there. One champions league semi final run then eliminations in R16 is what makes one a good coach. Even Ralf Rangnick was Schalke O4 coach when they reached Semi in 2011. Even Spurs reached CL final.
ETH is 53 years old. Same age as Pep.
ETH has managed only once in a Champions League Semi-final game in HIS LIFE.
Pep has had 9 ( NINE) champions league appearances. Klopp has 4 (FOUR) Final appearances.
Good and better managers compete for big trophies consistently.
Ferguson had 3 finals in 4 year period (2008,2009,2011 finals)
Klopp has had 3 finals in 4 year period in Liverpool (2018,2019, 2022)
Pep is on a 2 Finals in 3 year period for City (2021,2023)
3. Given time, a better structure he will do better - another very weird take I have seen it on this forum.
If ETH had total control, who to sign, how to play, who to bin off, how to train etc and he was unable to imprint his method to the team he had total control over what makes you think he will do better when all or some of those powers he had are taken away from him.
In that, you had power to do what you wanted to achieve success you're unable, but now you will achieve success when the powers you had will be taken away from you.
Then how comes, United is the only team with 'bad structure'. You mean Manchester United is the only team which complains of bad structure in the whole world.
Manchester United has incompetent employees not bad structures. From management to manager to players competent employees at Man United are few.
In my own assessment ETH is like Antony. A player he signed. Looked very good from Netherlands but EPL is a step steep ahead of him. Nothing to do with excuses, but or if's. It's just Antony is not cut for EPL.
Same ETH is not cut for EPL. Nothing to do with ETH as a human being it's just the League competition demands and quality is abit to much for him.
ETH is in the bracket of Poch, Arteta as a coach. Who will never beat Pep or Klopp consistently and who by 95% chance will never win a league title as long as Pep or Klopp are around.
Sad but true.
This 100%Prior to getting the job at City he said that he could see himself managing at OT.
He has obviously done wonders for City and elevated them, but he knows and resents all the asterisks attached. It slips via passive-aggressiveness from time to time.
a little?If that’s true, what a stupid thing to say and has clearly hurt him, guardiola always has come across as a little childish when things aren’t quite going his way.
This idea that Erik is such a brilliant coach that we need Pep or Klopp to even possibly improve is an idea i have a hard time understanding. What absolute miracles did he pull off at Ajax to deserve this status?Agreed on many points but replacing him mid season solves nothing if we don't have appropriate successor in mind. Pep, Klopp and Carlo are taken. There are not any standout candidates, season is a write-off. Get a new quality football management structure in place first, identify way of playing, clean deadwood, identify players we want to get and identify manager who will complement that style of play.
This has clearly not gone down well at city, a standard boring answer like “nice fella, good luck to him for the future ” should of been the way to go.Yeah we are no threat so why are you being off with journos when asked about Berrada
I’m not entirely sure about that, didn’t fergie approach him about taking over the reigns and he blew us out? But if city are found guilty of these 115 charges it’ll certainly taint his career.I always get the impression that Pep is well aware, and a little bit bothered, by the fact that City will never be respected like United.

We didn’t get him because Pep didn’t understand SAF. He didn’t know he was being offered a job.I’m not entirely sure about that, didn’t fergie approach him about taking over the reigns and he blew us out? But if city are found guilty of these 115 charges it’ll certainly taint his career.
