Re: The Sack Race aka Official Management Carousel Thread

United management have always seemed very much against Jose as a United manager. If he DOESN'T go to United, I think it will be very interesting to see where he ends up.

PSG is certainly an option because he is still a much better manager than Blanc.

Aside from PSG though, there really aren't any top teams that need a manager, which means he would have to take a bit of a step down.

Would have to be a team with enough money to let him build a squad. Valencia? Maybe Milan. I dunno, like I said, not a lot of options.

PSG is a good option but there isn't a challenge for him in the French league. If I were him I wouldn't choose PSG just to try to win the Champions League. Too risky.

Re: The Sack Race aka Official Management Carousel Thread

Oh definitely the league is not very challenging, but they already have a very good team, he'd be able to buy nearly whoever he wants, and could concentrate almost entirely on the Champions League.

He could probably put together a squad capable of winning it.

Hell, they have a squad capable of winning it now. Much more so than Real IMO.

Barca
Bayern
PSG
Real
Errrebody else

Re: The Sack Race aka Official Management Carousel Thread

They have a squad capable of winning right now, but I'm not sure they have a manager that can.

Real won't take him back unless Zidane struggles mightily and PSG is in the process of extending Blanc.

I don't think Zidane is anything more than a stopgap until the end of the season. Down the road he's in their plans, but he needs more time and experience. They will more than likely finish 3rd, and then go after someone else in the summer.

Roma got rid of Rudi Garcia a few weeks back. If you like attacking footy and need a coach he's your guy.

They signed him for 2 and a half years which makes me think he will have at least one more season unless they really falter.

I will kick Woodward's and the Glazer's faces if they didn't even attempt to get Pep. Pep has his old Barca pals at City, yes, but it is ****ing criminal if United didn't even make an attempt -- as most of the press seem to say, along with the club -- at getting him. Getting turned down is okay, but not even trying is absolute bull****.

Unless the deal was already agreed before that and every big club knew they'd have no chance regardless. Pep needs cash and a good foundation. United don't have much that Pep would like other than the "history and tradition." City have the squad Pep would see himself being successful with

“The contract is for three years. These negotiations were a re-commencement of discussions that were curtailed in 2012. Out of respect for Manuel Pellegrini and the players, the Club wishes to make its decision public to remove the unnecessary burden of speculation."

Yeah...right.

United have more cash than City though, City just has a better squad right now

I meant the squad not the cash part. Should have clarified that

There is such a thing as hijacking a deal. Chelsea know this very well. My point being, I'd rather United tried to get him than not at all. Tempt him with the money, whatever power Pep wanted etc. He says no, okay, at least the offer was made.

The Prem is only getting more competitive, as this year shows, and next year's big TV money injection will only make it more so. It'll be interesting to see how his style adapts to the EPL.

From Sky:


'UNITED MADE NO ATTEMPT'

Manchester United made no attempt to hijack Pep Guardiola's move to Manchester City, according to Sky sources.

City stole the Deadline Day headlines by announcing that Guardiola will replace Manuel Pellegrini as manager when he leaves Bayern Munich in the summer.

And sources say the early confirmation has spared United the temptation of entering a summer fight for football's most in-demand manager which was always likely to have just one winner.

Current United boss Louis van Gaal has a year to run on his Old Trafford contract.
