Moyes Out? Pep wants to manage in England.

I have a lot of time for Guardiola in the way he comes across but I have a good feeling that when he finally rocks up at Chelsea or Man City and realises:

1 - he has more than just one other team to beat
2 - he's not at Barcelona
3 - he doesn't have lionel messi

He's going to fall flat on his face like nobody's business
 

He'll go to someone with money.

I really want to one day see one of these so called 'great managers' manage an average team and see what happens.

Exactly. Mourinho went to Chelsea and spent how much money? Same for his time at Real Madrid.

Agreed. He talks in that article about wanting the "challenge" but he doesn't want a challenge. He wants to manage a team where he can buy pretty much anyone he wants. Granted the Prem is inherently more of a challenge than the two (one this year) horse race in Spain but would anyone consider him a genius if he won another title with CL winners Chelsea?
 

I can't believe that City fans think that Mancini is some kind of prodigy, just because he won them the league ON GOAL DIFFERENCE.

Given the amount of money they have spent, you would expect City to win the league with ease.

There is actually a thread on Bluemoon, in which they are debating whether or not they would prefer Mourinho or Mancini, and a good proportion of them are arguing that they would prefer Mancini!

I agree that it would be interesting to see the likes of Mourinho trying to cope with a Moyes type of budget, but I don't think Mourinho would have to rely on goal difference to win the league if he had been given a Mancini style budget.
 
You never know Bill might find a buyer.Imagine it, unlimited transfer budget and Guardiola tempts Lionel to follow him to L4.But in the real world I'm still suffering from Wimbledon trauma and 40 points still prompts a night of drunken celebration.

If a manager took over everton then won us our first cup and first league in 40 odd years and beat Liverpool 6-1 at anfield, I'd be quite fond of them, too.

Precisely.

People are obviously going to be biased when it comes to the manager they focus on week in week out. They're overlooking his tactical naivety because he has been a big part of winning them the league, which is fair enough. If Moyes had won the FA Cup in 2009 i think the opinions of him would be more favourable than they already are.
 
Guardiola played for many years under a system that Cruyff set up, he was taught this system every day. He then coached that same system to a team of players who had been coached in that very same way for years previously. He brought a few players in, one of the most prominent of those was Fabregas, who, when younger had grown up on that style of coaching. I'm not saying that he never did a good job, or that he is not a good coach. What i am saying however, is that he would find it immeasurably more difficult to turn up at a club in England, and turn that club into his style of football. I am also unsure as to whether he could adapt his style sufficiently in the formative years of being at that club to grind out the results needed to keep him at a club for long enough to change their ways.

The entire set-up of Barcelona has led to the success of Guardiola, rather than just his own talent or knowledge. Tito Villanova will also, i am sure, be a very successful coach at Barca, but how are they playing differently now to how they did 18 months ago?

It is the ideals, systems, methods and the beliefs at Barca which make them successful, NOT the individual coaches.
