Can you sue someone for reporting what you believe is fact? No one is misquoted as far as we know, just the Sun reporting about some bloke in Spain who said he was definitely going to City.

If the editor of one of these degenerate papers believes that someone is a murderer and reports it in their paper, and in fact it turns out to be untrue, then you can use your own imagination as to what would happen next.

Will be off the scale Chinners.

On Pep, I can see why he chose Bayern as the Bundesliga is winnable championship for them given all the cards are perennialy stacked in Bayerns favour - the spanish rags is a good description of them - and whenever a good player emerges at another Bundesliga team, he always seems to be sold to Bayern, as though its their right to cream off everyone's best players.

Will be interesting to see how Pep does there, particularly in europe as the suspicion remains that my nan could manage that Barca team. We will see.


Very interesting & gives us plus the rags chance to weigh him up in case Bob leaves or Fergusn dies.

Imo, he's chosen Bayern because he doesn't want to go to Chelsea & City/Utd, maybe Arsenal, are unwilling to remove their managers to make way for him. 'Not talking' to them is bollocks. He was talking to Ferguson in person. Ferguson represents Utd. He will have been talking to City & Chelsea & possibly Arsenal too.

He has already said he intends to come to the Premier League & if he does ok at Bayern, he will.

Had he taken over at the rags or similar, he could have badly undermined our academy building plans, as youngsters would be choosing between Marwood, an ex French player & an ancient Spanish player of yesteryear, or the manager of the greatest side ever, who has a track record of playing youth products. It's a no brainer who they would sign for & he could have pushed a club ahead of us in that respect.

When he does come over here in the future, we will have the best academy set up in the world parked next to our ground, & will be a much more appealing destination for any kid than we are now, or for Guardiola for that matter, if Bob goes home.

I would have been very worried if he had turned up at OT at this point in time. This is perfect.

several brilliant points, as usual.
Eventually forgot to note the big one. Bayern rule the Bundesliga and its Board is the lobby of German Economy's Crème.
Yet another smart manager to chose the comfort spot ahead of a more romantic excitement.

Aside, I bypass Your choice to paint the Academy's perspective as if nothing happened - from the Soriano appointment to September 2012.... - and You know I do it because I wouldn't love Ted to the extreme, if You were just a "boring" football finest connoisseur... :-)

Forza Mancini, I think he made a mistake letting De Jong go I think he is missed.

Spot on! He'll have little impact there save for winning trophies, which they already do. Guaranteed by £150 million from Adidas per season.

Are you trying to say Bayern buy success and don't grow it organically?? I'm shocked.

I think he's a shit-house who took a no lose option. Saying that, where else was he going to go.

'Twas 1999 in the Albert inRusholme watching the CL final. All the locals wanted Munich to win. But, there was a group that supported Utd. Turned out that they were German from Hamburg who hated Bayern for pretty much the same reasons we hate the rags. Good people, and despite the result a good night - very enjoyable.

Never had much time for the Munichs since then (hey, see what I did there? Never mind)

He'd have to be fucking mental to go to Chelsea & obviously City & Utd aren't willing to dump their managers for him, he couldn't realistically go to Spain, Italy is a waste of time as they're all skint, so it was Arsenal or Bayern.

He's done pretty well imo. If he doesn't fuck up, then in 3 years the rags job is probably open & if Bob fucks up or decides to go home, the City job is open, or he can stay at Bayern.

Sensible move. It's upto him to prove he can do it now.

Didn't he say he wanted to manage athletico or something?

Chelsea was a definite option.

Us I honestly don't know, but Bayern is a definite soft landing.

Does anyone know what's happened to Johnny Crossan?

I love hearing what so called expert commentators and writers have to say but his youtube channel has gone dormant.

I hope all is Ok.

Don't see why people see this fellow as being the one to build a dynasty.He fucked of probably one of the cushiet jobs in football when the pressure got to much and now has wangled himself one of the easier options open to him.Seems a bit of a Keegan to me.Quits when the going gets tough.I hope we do not ever get him.Clown.
