Fabregas for me, rather than Maresca. Como are a joy to watch

Surely Vinny is going to be in the running.

I love Vinny, but can someone explain to me how?

Did fuck all at Anderlecht, bounced Burnley up and down from the Championship and somehow he gets the Bayern job? Now he's in the frame for the City job?

He "somehow" got the Bayern job, who are a bigger club than City.

Bayern somehow made a good choice. Perhaps at Anderlecht and Burnley he didn't have the players at his disposal and did as well as any manager would; perhaps even Pep or Klopp would have fared no better. Perhaps the lack of competition in Germany made his job easier and he has merely achieved what any manager could have done and has done barring the odd anomaly.

Would City have given Vinnie the job at the time Bayern did if we were looking for a manager? Would we have been happy to see them give him the job given his situation at the time? I think no and no.

Vinnie will be the City manager one day. I think he'd be crazy to leave Bayern mid-project and try and fill Pep's shoes.

I love Vinny, but as a manager, he seems like he has a brainfart loading in a key moment.

Yeah, somehow. He got Burnley relegated and less than a month later was given a contract by Bayern Munich. You can argue size and such but assuming Bayern are the bigger club that makes it even more incredulous that he would be hired by them.

Do you think after dropping the title for the first time in 8 years they just went fuck it, throw the baby out with the bathwater and we may as well take a punt?

Honestly I don't get it, I was hoping someone could provide me with some insights here.

I think the next City manager will be Xavi, his leaving PSG and Barca under Flick doing well both domestically and in Europe means they probably won't be replacing in the summer. Unless Chelsea sack their manager again and then it could prove interesting.

He has the same agent as Kalvin Phillips and Stones.

Pep is a legend here but IMHO his race is run, name Manchester after him for all I care but his race is run we need to move on.

No I don't think they did that at all, nor do I think they would. So with the most logical answer usually being the correct one they did the usual recruitment exercise (whatever that is) and they decided Vinnie was the best man for the job. That is despite his seemingly poor/short managerial record. I don't know who he was up against but I expect a club like Bayern didn't have a shortage of offers. It looks like Vinnie went in, what he said is what they wanted to hear, he might have benefited from Pep giving him a good reference, and they gave him the job ahead of probably a number of candidates we would normally expect to get the job ahead of him.

Lots of talk about pep going in the summer, definitely the media cartel want him gone, they are pushing it hard and sadly influencing some fans.

He may go although I must say the alternatives don't really inspire.

I think "some fans" are more likely to be influenced by the turgid football we've had to endure in recent times. Don't think many, if any, City fans would be influenced by the media cartel

Certainly not a fan of how we are performing at the minute or for the past year come to that, But I have to admit the more the media / cartel cunts / & special mention for the bbc wankers Are creaming over wanting him gone the more I want him to stay.
