Prob the same just at a higher level, we play a similar style for the most part, Pep-lite. I would expect that to be in the same but of a high tempo and effectiveness. Think 2 gears above the top gear we have now.

I would expect a minor overhaul of the midfield and fullbacks, but nothing we weren't expecting or planning with the squad regardless of who was in charge, but where we were looking at chasing the likes of Cresswell and Barkley, we can step up to Alaba and Pogba, (hypothetical example, calm down people), with more than a fair shot of getting them and them wanting to come (without the usual "we're building something, we'll give you an extra 75k a week?" hit and hope negotiation).

For all the **** the owners got when the takeover happened 'its a toy, you'll be ruined if he gets bored and leaves", The club have no debt, make a profit per year, have grown something 400% commercial revenue, had more England call ups at 19-16 level than any other club, have a state of the art academy, training and women's team, not been out the top 2 in 5 years, picked up 2 leagues, 2 cups. We finished 9th when they took over and had Jo upfront.. never thought i'd see it tbh when i started following the club (1985 for those wondering), We're as well set up to capitalize on it as any club can be. They've ticked off the list, step by step pretty well if you're building a club.

I like how City works as a club. Your owners did great job unfortunately for Red side. Yeah, you might just be their way into western market, but who gives a **** when they are doing proper job and not ******* club over.

About Pep, what do you expect from him to win? Especially first season? Whats the general expectations form the club?

He was weird at the end of Madrid, and there was something not entirely right about the way he came back to us. Falling away from the title in the first year was largely down to his stubbornness too,
Click to expand...

The was a general consensus he came to you too soon, and that he should have stayed away longer. Delany has done a really goo piece on this. Him joining united is down to poor planning on United's behalf, but Jose is actually in a better place then when he joined Chelsea again

The fact is you did not try hard enough. Reputable sources all repeatedly claimed how hard City and Chelsea were trying to sign him. None did for United

How do you know we didn't try hard enough? How do you enough ManUtd were told NO at the first approach? Like ManUtd, Chelsea also didn't try hard enough because like ManUtd Chelsea also lost him to City.

Also why so much fuss about Pep, obviously he is the best manager but some of the reactions are just hilarious. It's not the end of the world, there is life outside Pep, Jose, Carlo and few other managers.
 
Alcaraz said:
I have no idea what the first part even means. Chelsea tried hard and gave him a blank cheque 3 times ever since he left Barcelona. Read Balague's book on Pep. Meanwhile not a word of United attempting to get him to that extent

No assumptions. City started to lay the foundational work very early. United did not bother for whatever reason. Its very possible that they felt Pep would come running once they came calling with all their history and tradition. But once they actually attempted to get him this season when they knew LVG had to go, they realized they had no chance. If they knew that from earlier, they wouldn't have even attempted contacting him this season

This may not necessarily be Woody's fault although he as CEO has to take the blame. Lack of foresight and poor planning at the executive level at United. Thats why the Petroboys at City are catching up incredibly fast

Neither, turns out United asked early on, and he wasnt going yet. And then when the timing was right for a new manager, City had it sewn up. City have been going for 3years, hiring Soriano and co specially for him

United did try. They went for him, then Klopp to succeed Ferguson, they turned down Mourinho and then went with Moyes.
 
And people here were moaning about Otamendi (not sure whether I did).

Its Pelle instance on a high line, he thinks his best player defines the way that role should be played. Bony has to play like Aguero, and all cb's should be able to do what Kompany does. He won't let a team play a different line, hes tactically stubborn as ****.
 
Sterling.. deary me.. definition of pace and no end product. Liverpool getting £50m for him must be one of the greatest piece of business in the modern game.

Whoa hold the horses there lol.

As much as I'd love to see Leicester win the title because they deserve it imo there's still 13 games to go after today and absolutely anything can happen including the dreaded injuries. But I'm convinced they can make Champions League.

And I never ever saw this coming pre-season
