ManUs struggles to find a Fergie replacement (3 managers in 5 years to date) while trying to remain a top team reminds me of ManUs struggles to find a Busby replacement (5 managers in 15 years until Rednose came along) while trying to remain a top team. Enjoyed it then, enjoying it now.

You've got that to look forward to when Pep jogs off.

^I dont know. Mancini..Pellegrini..Pep...its been a nice progression. Maybe it will stop with Peps departure or maybe his heir (probably in house) will keep it going.

Arteta? Complete novice and a huge risk. Viera is making a pig's ear of things at Nice.

Everybody is a complete novice at some point in their career. Pep was a complete novice as recently as 2007 and Pochettino in 2009. And wasn't that how liverpool had there most successful period, appointing a managerial novice but the outgoing managers assistant or staff member.

Yes BB, but for every novice that turned out to be successful (say in the imagined list of "the hundred best ever managers in the Prem and its predecessor in the modern era") there are probably two or three non-novices).

 

Go with the percentages I say! I voted against Arteta when Wenger left and stuck my hand up for Unai Emery who was not strangely being touted at the time - one of my better calls!

 

Incidentally, I would regard Poch as a very desirable manager for any top 4 club despite his lack of trophies. I might even put Eddie Howe as borderline in that category.

I admit I’m not looking forward to that inevitable day

Pablo Zabaleta somewhere down the road.

I'd put my hat on Vinny before Zabba. Vinny is a born leader and extremely savvy

Could definitely be the case. I'd throw Zabaleta and definitely Arteta in the mix as well. Vinny could also be a candidate for Belgium down the road.

Champers, I'll give you this. Who was in charge for the one game we've lost this season (vs Lyon) - and it wasn't Josep?

Kiddo? He's won the flippin' thing, so he should have had first dibs.

Might be something in this Glazers selling up.

Selling our soul if it happens but it needs to happen to rid us off the leaches.

Why would selling to arabs (Saudi prince) be selling your soul? You are foreign owned (american) already.

Being owned by Arabs or Americans is not the issue. Being owned by a state that will use an English football team, one of the greatest ever football clubs as a pawn for its political and social message. 

Then there is the issue, there are states and then there is this particular state. 

I cannot comprehend how this could possibly happen.

Seriously are you claiming Manchester city are one of the greatest clubs? A history built on one decade and dodgy deals.

If you read the previous posts you'll see the point

Fair enough. I'm out of the loop.  When people started giggling at Nazi salutes I thought I'd give it a rest for a bit.
