The real benefit of sending him there is to get him used to dealing with pressure and expectation.

This will be good preparation for his future career with us.

We obviously trust Deila too, a relationship going back to his days in charge of Strømsgodset.

Nope, absolutely with you 1000% It is clear that The Count (unless something seriously goes wrong) is clearly here until at least the end of this season.
Pep has NOT committed himself to us and the board (to my knowledge) have not even acknowledged his availability.
It seems that some of our posters/fans would rather believe all the BS in the press over actual facts (of which there are absolutely fooking NONE).
Honestly, some of the current Count haters wouldn't be, IF the "messiah of football" wasn't available.

well here's the thing for me...i'm currently a Count hater. And before that i was a Mancini-hater (previously a LICKER tho!), and a Sparky-hater prior to that, tho i defended him until it was just one draw too many from the fuck.
SOOOOOOOOO....it's not about Pep being available for me. It's about the current manager having zero ability to get more from a talented squad. I'd have been very very very very fucking happy with the Count being sacked a month or two ago and Ancelotti being brought in. Very happy. I would have preferred that change right now to Pep in the summer in fact. Ancelotti has won everyone he's been. No one like him really, bar the Cunty Special One imho. But his approach is way way classier than Joe Say. Plus he likes a sneaky fag now and then. Bonus!
Anyway for me it's not about Pep's availability, but about the Count's ability to influence the dressing room and the results on the pitch. For me this year's injuries also play a factor. Players are injured a lot less when they give two fucks about the gaffer's success. That's why Mancini hated injured players. He knows that as a player and a manager. You're a professional. Unless you've done your ACL or broken a fucking bone in the lower half of your body, then figure it the fuck out after a couple weeks, or fuck the fuck off.
Anyway, i digress. Ish.

You think players are faking hamstring and calf strains/pulls? Are their scans being doctored ( pun intended )?
Put the crack pipe down Doomie.

It's not about faking you fucknut.
When you're on the boss's side you walk through fucking walls for him. When you're indifferent you sit in a fucking ice bath and train on your own and fuck off for two extra weeks until your 110% sure.
Get it?

I don't see it myself. He has done very little to progress players from a fairly decent youth academy at Celtic and was somehow managed to do the impossible and give the SPL a competitive feel to it this season.
