Pep Guardiola

[Babb'sBurstNad]

There is no official "know" with anything at the club currently. It was reported.

 

Fair enough, were there any sources or direct quotes?

[dennis tooth]

It's a total longshot but he did compliment us on our youth academy just over 12 months ago, and predicted that many of our youth team could become star players.

 

Hopefully the challenge of turning those kids into stars would be enough of a challenge to seduce him.

 

He wud hav to if ee came ere given he would have some overpaid cunt above him siging players.

I note Maureen has said he may quit Real to come to England for family reasons. Again another ace manager we wouldnt attract under our structure no matter what we paid. Him at the mancs next year, Pep at Chelsea or Arsenal if Wenger steps down while we pull our pud over Dave Whelans wifes face with him looking on Dunc style.

There is no god.

"He was a smashing fella. He knew exactly what I was there for. I gave him a Don't Buy The Sun sticker and he said 'I understand' and put it on.

 

"He stayed for every tee off. His little daughter was fast asleep, snoring behind the tee box."

Top bloke and I know that it's not a cat in hells chance of happening but I would love him being involved some how at Liverpool. Even if he sweet talked Messi to join us, well I can wish I guess!

That's smashing.

Seems a nice chap, but it's so hard to tell how good he is, or isn't.

 

Until a manager's done it over a number of years, and preferably at different clubs, any success can be put down to a purple patch.

 

As for coming to Liverpool? hmmm, if Rodgers made things worse, then it would be even less attractive to Pep, and if Rodgers improved things, why would you want to get rid of him? And it's not like Rodgers would leave for a bigger club... it really would have to be one of the Spanish two or Bayern to possibly tempt Rodgers away from Liverpool if he was doing well.

 

I think top 4 Liverpool would interest Pep. Bit of a challenge, fantastic history, and just 'something about the club' that sets it apart from so many.

 

Just my opinion of course.

Sixteen honours won in ten years with four top clubs in four countries and the league title in all four. It's a tricky one.........................I mean we might have to stop moaning!

[Trumo]

As he's being discussed in that other thread at present, I thought I should point out that Guardiola didn't have the best success rate when signing non-Spanish players from abroad. Some of them never played, and others lasted a season before being shipped out at a huge loss. When Guardiola spent big on players who were either Spanish or already playing in la Liga, these players settled much better. I've listed Mascherano - who had featured prominently under Guardiola - but he's had to play as an emergency centre-back in order to get a regular place in the team.

 

2008/09:

Hleb (Arsenal) - €15m + €2m add-ons

Henrique (Palmeiras) - €8m + €2m add-ons

 

2009/10:

Ibrahimovic (Inter) - €42m + Samuel Eto'o

Keirrison (Coritiba) - €14m + €2m add-ons

Maxwell (Inter) - €4.5m + €0.5m add-ons

Chygrynskiy (Shakhtar) - €25m

 

2010/11:

Mascherano (Liverpool) - €19m + €4m add-ons

Afellay (PSV) - €3m

 

2011/12:

Sanchez (Udinese) - €26m + €11m add-ons

No matter how many times I see that zlatan transfer it still shocks me.

[Guest LFD]

Don't think the manager at Barca has much say in transfers.

 

They are a coach, not a manager.

 

Remember watching the bbc documentary when Rijkaard was manager. Laporta and the other directors seemed to buy the players and run the club.

[ChippyTeaFriday]

Top mangers won't come to a skint club. Especially one which has fans with unrealistic expectations. Why the fuck would they? Unless they are mental or like having their reputations trashed and end up living in a box, livin in a card board box

He Inherited a squad containing the greatest player in the world, plus a host of world class players in other positions. He'd already seen most of them close up having worked as the B team boss, and was successful but in a time when spanish football was at It's least competitive, as Real offered the only threat to the league title.

 

His next job, irregardless of where it is will be the real test.

 

Unless he get's the Celtic job!

[Jonny83]

Off to Bayern in the summer according to BBC Sport.

 

Puts an end to the Chelsea fans' wankathon over him going there.

 

EDIT: Never mind, beaten to it by other thread.

He is a cheat.

It's a fact.

More empty seats last night in a last 16 champions league tie. These fuckers didn't deserve to win the lottery.

Weird thread this in hindsight. 

[John102]

For a moment there I thought he was off to Bayern and wondered why there was a Chelsea wankathon
