Clearly he wasn't as integral as Rodri was to City this season.
'Pep' Guardiola sack watch
- Thread starter Classical Mechanic
- Start date
Should they just make Rodri player-manager?
1 win in 11 suggests alot more problems than missing 1 player .
As bad we were under ETH and all the injuries we had last season we never managed just 1 win in 11.
Of course every crisis is down to more than one factor. However it is how you deal with certain setbacks that separates the good managers from the great.
Blood-spinning can help too.
This
Changed football with money and drugs.
Fergie did it without ever being the biggest spender, without ever a question of dodgy dopey doctors, and did it over and over and over again. He didn’t scratch lines into his skull 6 months into a tough run and he never sat in front of 115 charges for fincancial cheating.
He won a European cup with Aberdeen and took United from a lower ebb than todays version to the pinnacle of European and World football.
Comparing the two of them is an insult. Suggesting Pep is the better is a farce.
Achieving with the Barca, Bayern and City teams he managed puts him on par with the great sides Fergie built after he had established himself as a great coach. Pep has never taken a minnow or a sleeping giant to that level and for that reason he can never me mentioned in the same breath as Sir Alex.
I reckon you should tell your GPS to ignore relativity and see how you get on, or perhaps see how your camera or solar panels work without the photoelectric effect. Not that this has anything to do with football in any way of course.

How does that convert to metres on the surface of earth from space do you reckon? (I looked it up for you - a GPS satellite moves at about 3900m/s.)
Couldn't have said it any better. Bravo.
Indeed. Guardiola isn’t remotely fit to lace Fergie’s boots.
Much as I despise the ugly gurning cnut, Klopp's achievements with underperforming clubs on relatively limited budgets, far outweighs Pep's achievements at Barca, Bayern and Shitty.
Agreed. Put Pep at Liverpool and make him operate on a limited budget and see how he does. My guess is - not well.
I think most people think of the Salah, Mane, Firminho team when they think of Klopp, I could have been more specific but that’s what I meant. It’s not a big deal. Obviously they haven’t dismantled last season’s team in one window.
I think the touchy twitcher will still come back from this, likely after a January spend-up, but I would love to have seen him leave now with the wheels off, but he will not go with them like this.
There is a reason Klopp avoid clubs where he has to deliver trophies every season and wont buy into 5 seasons rebuild projects
Totally agree. No way he would ever even try it.
Dias out for 4 weeks.
Things could be about to get worse for Pep's scalp.

He's going to have to spend big in January.
I wonder if the impending charges may put players off signing for them?

Fully expecting them to get beat tomorrow.
Me too. Pep's kicked us enough when we've been down.
Nice to see the shoe on the other foot for a change.
Even if city do not get punish with the 115 charges, Pep really needs a break from football. He should only return to managing in the 2026/27 season with one of the Milan clubs in Serie A.
Serie A is no good for him as there is no club there that can give him a top squad and unlimited transfer budget
Even if players do want to go there everyone knows they are desperate for new players now so they'll be forced to massively overpay.
Time to go.
It just never ends 
Brilliant result for City, ended their losing run.
What on earth is even going on there?!
Even we smashed Everton at home.

City has a lot of average players, who when the momentum is good, look better than they are, like Akanji. Others are poor, like Rico Lewis. With so many injuries, Guardiola became dependent on them. He misjudged his squad.
These bad games show Guardiola's great flaw, which is to change the team during matches. In many of those games he only made two or three substitutions. He didn't use the bench as much and was slow to make changes. Today the first substitution came after 75 minutes.

They've downed tools pretty clearly. Funny thing is I don't think Pep goes so there'll be a massive clear out in the summer regardless of charges I think.
There's no justification in the world for consistently leaving KDB out for such an out of sorts Foden if there's not something going on behind the scenes/in the dressing room.
Rodri should use this time to pass his badges, he'd probably get the gig after Pep.
Pep's arse lickers have a lot to answer for.
All the money in the world and 1 win in 13? "GOAT" manager can't do better?

It must be worrying that KDB can't seem to last even one 90min these days, Foden has completely gone off the boil and Haaland doesn't seem half the threat.
Obviously all these "worries" have to be put in perspective - United are still miles behind even this disastrous form City side!
I love his acceptance of how shit they have become
Don't be surprised when a squad of mercenary cheats at a cheating club down tools for a cheating manager when faced with some adversity
It has to be one of the all time disaster runs in Premier league history.Pep's arse lickers have a lot to answer for.

Even under some of our woeful managers in their worst spells we've not come even remotely close to that.
Some relegation fodder clubs have done worse, I remember Derby County for starters. But, for a supposed PL challengers this is truly the worst run I can remember. Arsenal came close couple of seasons ago when they collapsed in hilarious fashion when title pressure became real but even they had 3 wins in 9 PL games.
I said it few weeks ago but he is cooked now, players have thrown in the towel over there.
