Who is Guardiola leaving Bayern to manage

[Eggs]

Pep has always stated he wants early retirement. Last job United, pair of years, hand over to Giggs.
Sorted.

......I just wonder if City are a better fit and might already have him signed-up. They are already in a position where they can win the Premiership next season and have limitless funds at his disposal. We'll soon find out.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

I think he'd be more interested in Arsenal than Utd.

City seem favourites because of his connections behind the scenes but Londons bright lights may be more of an attraction to him and his family.

.....the indication is he's going to City but the door is opening to the biggest club in world football and managing United might be an attractive proposition.

What have real Madrid got to do with united?

...I understand United are the biggest football franchise in the world but I might have that wrong.

Are they? Pretty certain Madrid top everything apart from commercial deals which ard topped by Bayern.

United are far from being the worlds biggest club

I wouldnt say 'far' but defo think Madrid are the biggest. Would say Barcelona are 2, then you have United/Bayern at 3/4.

They're only the biggest to people who call football clubs franchises though

Didn't forbes have United down as the most valuable sports franchise in the world, followed by the Dallas Cowboys?

City look to be the only English team with the budget to attract Pep.

 

[Muggins]

Would love to see some of these "amazing" managers manage clubs with half the budget and half the clout..

I thought the Yankees were tbh

 

[WarringtonBlue]

Imagine him at Utd in all honesty.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Cant see him at Arsenal.

Absolutely. The TV deal has introduced a tiny morsel of financial evenness in the Premiership and guess what? Klopp, Mourinho, Van Gaal etc all start to look very very ordinary indeed.

I don't rate Guardiola at all. What did he do at Barcelona that Enrique is not doing? What has he done at Munich that Heynckes didn't do?

To use a racing analogy All he does is competently steer odds-on favourites round the track. Let's see him win on an outsider !!!

He won't even take the United job......too scared of a high profile failure without the likes of Messi, Iniesta, Robben, Muller etc etc etc to win for him.
