Seems Guardiola is not at all impressed by the "trigger happy " owner of CFC, and why would he be?? Sources claim he is looking for a job with stability and long term prospects of success. That counts us on both points. Money might change his mind of course, but there will be no shortage of offers from seriously good clubs that don't have our reckless, self destructive history. Bayern, Man Utd, City, Brazil National team all in the running. Might all be bollocks of course, but if you take the money out of the equation,why would any good manager want to come to us ???? On a hiding to nothing, and a short lifetime of grief and aggro.
I wouldn't want to take a job which such little security. If you had a choice of managing another big club with stable processes - it's a no brainer for Pep.
I fancy he's going off to Brazil! Lets hope RA learns a few lessons particularly money is not the only thing that motivates! Perhaps Rafamight get us moving and if he does then is allowed to keep his job! I'd like to see the camera on his face when the crowd show their feelings about Robbie!
Niall--your choice I assume is a bit tongue in cheek, but lets just remember he got Chelsea to the Champions league final which, but for a very unfortunate slip in the penalty shoot out they would have won!
This While Avram was ****ting his pants going into extra time in Moscow, Clarke got hold of the squad at the side of the pitch and lifting the team.
It was the worst kept secret in football that Clarke was not only the brains but the steel behind our success that season. If Chelsea had any sense they'd have given him the post. It went to pot for us when Clarke went to West Ham, we couldn't defend for **** after that and still can't.
Pep comes across as a man of high morales and principles, Barcelona is club of the people , opposing Franco , right wing etc. Working for a Kleptocrat would not suit his style. You cant buy love, in this case.
The Special One will go to United and Pepe will go to City. Chelsea and Spurs will be fighting over Steve Clarke. Trust me on this.
Little security?? 15 mil a year and full payment of contract when he's sacked, are you sure you've thought it through??
He won't be coming - mud tends to stick as far as prospective employees are concerned and Roman has managed to work his way through a quite few managers. Besides, Brazil would be the ultimate challenge for any manager so expect Pep to be appointed within the next week or so.
This is the man who quit a 10 mill a year job with near guaranteed job security cos he was pissed off with the pressure that came with it - I doubt he's the kind of manager RA could buy, no matter how big a wad he threw at him.
