Re: Guardiola to be offered coaching deal next season...
i do wonder with guardiola - whether he's actually much cop as a coach or if he just lucked out with a team that was just approaching its peak as he took charge. messi, xavi and iniesta were all there long before he came in, and i'm not sure how much input he had in getting the team to knit together as well as it does. there's the inevitable galvanising effect of having a barca old boy in charge, but that's more to do with his heritage than expertise.
it'll be interesting to see what happens a few years down the line once this current team's star has faded - whether he'll prove adept in building another one - or if he moves on somewhere else in the meantime. might be that it's downhill from here. |

Fwiw I can't see him ever taking over at united. Can you imagine him trying to get Gibson and carrick to play like xavi and iniesta? |

So why all the stories linking him with a move away from Barcelona?
I've read everything from stress, concern over presidential elections and a desire to coach in the greatest league in the world (© skysports) are the reasons behind it. Think the bloke would be £#%&!ing mad to walk away tbh. |

Re: Guardiola to be offered coaching deal next season...
Good article on him here - not exactly ground breaking but a good insight.
He knows football, he's also (it appears) a well rounded man. You'd say he was more Wenger than Fergie, but then you can't follow like for like. You'd look at the (original in the OP) article initially & scoff, just a 'coach' at United... yeah, OK then. But Fergie's the last of a dying breed, the continental approach of having a manager is less full on, & Fergie himself has managed to drag United into the realms of having a structured youth development all the way through to the Stiffs. Pep himself started out with the youth / or the 'B' side, got promotion, was a man who knew the club from top to bottom. Barca forver has the shadow of Cruyff looming over it, ever decision, player, formation & transfer seemingly relies on him giving a nod to it, so following up with Fergie still around here wouldn't be the crushing weight it could be on others, especially if Fergie goes upstairs as it were. You'd want to hand him a huge transfer budget though... anyone who takes over from Fergie has to have fortunes or they'd shit themselves. So, you'd likely say with our financials that it clearly rules him out. & anyone else worth their salt in the market tbh. |
