Its official Pep to leave Barca

[Ric.ror]

Now after a short break from football where do you think he will go?

And how long do you think Sir Alex will carry on for?
(Can you see what I am getting at?)

Ronaldo left to join a bigger club.

[10ClarionSt]

Ronaldo left because he said he always wanted to play for RM.

[doctordb]

10.cst, True. I should have said 'ronaldo joined a bigger club.'

[mightyWBA]

Pep wants to sample the extremes of football management...

Just seen him waiting for the 256 to Wolverhampton :)

10ClarionSt, OGS - Ole Gunnar Solskjær, to follow SAF really do you think.

[Hopkirk]

Thanks A, I couldn't work out who OGS was.

[HowardKennitby]

I am more interested in who will replace him.

[doctordb]

Don't expect any british names on the shortlist.

[Hopkirk]

David Moyes? He's British.

[Hopkirk]

Sorry, I meant Moyes to Old Trafford not Barca.

[doctordb]

Hopkirk, you had me scared for a minute there.

[Dudley]

OGS?

[Dudley]

Sorry, didn't see the second page.

[Ric.ror]

Oh I would love Ole to return
Other than him I would love David Moyes to replace SAF even if it meant a couple of seasons mid table. Would hate us to end up like Chelski

[HowardKennitby]

Just read that Pep's assistant, Tito Vilanova, has been promoted to the top job. Business as usual then.

[Arksided]

Would hate us to end up like Chelski

Do you mean changing the Manager every ten month without giving them a fair crack at the whip, totally agree. It didn't even cross my mind about OGS, even after the success with the reserves and doing well with Molde.

It would be a good choice even if still a little inexperienced, but yep it would be Moyes for me if the second choice was mine.

[Hopkirk]

What, not Jose, Arksided?

[Arksided]

I have great respect for Mr Mourinho and has in the past hinted at wanting the job, however I do think it would be a 'stop gap' kind of thing with him. United will need someone with more dedication and commitment to the club.

whoever takes the mantle will undoubtedly have a massive challenge filling SAFs' shoes, and Moyes to me seems to fit that criteria of dedication.

OGS would be great though :-)

Sacking a manager in a corridor is one of the reasons I would hate to end up like Chelski
There are others
