Anyone find this touting for clubs whilst still under contract nauseating?

Don't get me wrong every one has to make ends meet. Life for footballer's at the lower end of pyramid is precarious, not often well paid and careers uncertain. Therefore sniffing out opportunities beyond your current employer is as permissible and understandable for probably 99% ll of us in the rat race. Agents have inevitably become attached to this (like many other industries and thus perpetuating the lowering of standards and expectations of 'loyalty', too).

But squeaky clean Guardiola. Decent Rep, Decent record. Why does he need to do this and stick a 'For Sale' sign on his head? It's an awful example, unnecessary and deeply disrespectful to Bayern Munich (which arguably I won't lose sleep over).

Anyone else see this as a grossly distasteful advert whilst one's employed? Or am I over-reacting to an honest Newspaper article rather than creepy agent doing the exact same thing for him?

He is going to city.

Even if he wasn't nothing wrong with pushing your wages up and have a bit of a fight to get you to the club.
 


I don't rate him so highly.

Enrique at Barcelona has won everything he won. Heynckes at Munich won the treble.

I'd win championships with those teams and I am not joking.

What has Guardiola done but steer the fastest car round the track?

City can have him and he can have them.
 
It most certainly is going to be City but whoever it is it will be by far and away he's toughest job especially domestically, with more than 1 and 0 competitive teams to compete with like he had in Spain and Germany.

Bingo.

Think he'll pull a Van Gaal here. The Premier League is a managerial meatgrinder.
 
He's the greatest manager of all time. To be remembered as a true great it's not about what you win but how you win. Yeah Heynckes and Enrique won trebles but they didn't do it the way Pep did. If it wasn;t for the Icelandic volcano in 2010 he would've won the CL 3 times on the bounce. His Barca team was widely regarded as the best team to watch since the Brazil '70 team and the Dutch team that came directly after. If you can't grasp this you're basically a philistine consumed by your hatred of greatness.
