If you were Pep Guardiola....

[Marc Overmars]

I think we'd be a suitable option for him. Really.

If I was Pep I'd get my agent to contact Arsenal and basically say sack Wenget and I will take over, otherwise I'm off to City/United.

[Power n Glory]

Yep, we can offer job security, a decent wage and a chance to build his own legacy. We're not a bad choice. He won't be under major pressure and will be given enough time to build. He won't find find that at Chelsea or City.

[Niall_Quinn]

City can offer unlimited funds to build a squad, Arsenal can offer... nothing. Not until Kroenke has gone at least. I don't see why a big spending manager who has built his reputation on attracting the very best would go back to square one and start scratching around in the leftover bin when he can just pick up a magic wand at City (and be paid more I suspect).

Another problem with us getting a new manager will be revealing what's really going on behind the scenes at Arsenal. Wenger will be here until he decides to leave, there will be a lot more to this than just the football.

I'd be amazed if Guardiola goes to the chavs, too much bad blood there. I think Mourino is pegged for Utd. Liverpool is the only other option unless some other club can build a dream ticket by getting a billionaire in and installing the manager in one hit. Unlikely. It sounds like Liverpool may be resolved to giving Rodgers time.

So it's City. Mancini will have to get the top job at the Federal Reserve or some other place with a license to print unlimited money, then he will be partially satisfied.

barry, milner, dzeko and rodwell....all the ingredients for some manc-tika-taka

I think Pep would be prepared out of the utmost respect he has for *******, to still manage the club with the nutty proffessor overshadowing him as the Director of Football. He won't go to Chelsea as he doesnt like the happy trigger Ruskie's inpatience, Citeh might be a shout as his ex colleagues at Barca are working in the top jobs and maybe were recruited knowing that would help bring Pep and lets face it, Mancini hasnt got a clue in European football and the owners I suspect are eyeing a UCL cup anytime soon. So between AFC and Citeh, it's 50 - 50.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Can't see us missing out on Pep, tbh. We're just so perfectly suited for him. He's actually very ambitious and will want to win real trophies. This means he will have to actually sign players of "exceptional quality"- something which our overly generous Board will endorse by giving him an open cheque book.

open chequebook maybe but with a spend limit of £3.50

Guardiola is probably the most overrated manager in the world, especially on here.

I do agree with you. He fits into our style but he hasnt really been tested yet in his managerial career for everyone to be clamouring for him to manage them. he inherited a fantastic team and then brought through fantastic players that he knew about as he was youth coach. wasnt really troubled too much when he coached barca. it really would be interesting to see how he does at a club where he has to be out of his comfort zone
