Ah, pragmatism, I like that ...... at his first home game can we get a chant of the 'get the Tet's out for the fans' before he comes outTeeCee wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 5:29 pmLet's be honest, no decent manager is going to risk his reputation taking over this clusterfuck of a club. We have to appoint an unknown really, it's likely to be either Tets or Paddy and to be honest, I'd rather Tets. Paddy has not excelled so far and I actually don't want his legend tarnished by coming back and doing a shit job. I never liked Tets as a player, very average I thought so may as well try him as a coach. He does have a good reputation and I have to say that several times at the weekend, the cameras went to the City bench and it was Tets who kept turning to Pep and made gestures about shape and formation etc so it looks like he does actually have some idea, unlike poor old Freddie.
PS. I keep calling him Tets just so when it's time to sack him I can sing 'Tets Out' and 'Get the Tets out for the boys'........![]()
I think this club would kill to finish 10th now mate,they are in freefall........xisstential wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 6:21 pmNever really took to Arteta as a player and I certainly don't want him as manager. He reminds me of Martinez.
This bunch of lazy shirkers need a kick arse , drill sergeant type of manager, not a quiet, shrinking violet like Arteta. This will start badly and end even worse.
Easy for him to give advice to Pep when you are moving world class players around the field. What's he going to do with Chambers, Xhaka, Ozil.and the rest of our lazy mob?? Sweet FA is the answer.
But we'll have the obligatory "let's give him a chance" period. By the end of Jan, firmly stuck in 10th, the knives will be out........and the revolving door of managers will be well under way.
I weep for what was once AFC

Good points SteveO and I agree.SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:02 pmGuardiola has only ever managed three teams - each with the biggest budget by far in each of the three biggest leagues in Europe (sorry Italian football is shite these days). Whilst he has produced amazing teams, it has been done with huge funds and even in those instances he's never exactly been famed for great defences has he? At Barcelona he had the likes of Mascherano playing at centre half....but it hardly mattered as they a collection of the world's finest midfielders and forwards at his disposal, and the opposition never got the ball
In his first season at Man City when they had the shit keepers and defenders he inherited (but still way superior to any of the c.unts we have) they conceded only 5 goals less than us that season, lost six games and finished 15 points behind the leaders. It took a spending spree of well over £200m to get the keepers and defenders he wanted in place to turn things round and even then some of them were expensive flops. We will never know how he would have done had they had a total budget of £40m to spend on the whole squad. We'll never know because he would never have joined them without those promises
We've now rumoured to be getting the man who has been his pup in training who will be lucky to get £20m to spend on a team that will be starting with a minus goal difference, no saleable assets and a collection of the flimsiest defenders you've ever seen in your life......in the hope that he'll turn them into world beaters.....oh and no CL football to promise any of the luvvies who might want to join us either
Good luck with that job !

Arteta is not on my list. Putting the cones out for Pep is not managerial experience.
I'd nearly rather have Sean Dy- hey hang on there you nearly got me ya fucker.....![]()

Said that before about Guardiola,see him at Wigan or Bolton with no money and see how far his managerial talent gets him,my wife could have won shit at Barca,Bayern and City with them sides and dough,SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:02 pmGuardiola has only ever managed three teams - each with the biggest budget by far in each of the three biggest leagues in Europe (sorry Italian football is shite these days).
