Manchester City: Pep Guardiover

[Gooner Zig]

Unfortunately Anderson will be a massive signing for them if they do get him. Their defence is low key rubbish. Stones is finito, Guehi is good but not elite while Khusanov is a walking DOGSO.

Clear favourites for the title next season imo. Maresca did very well with Chelsea, and will probably be a boost for the players after underachieving last two seasons under Pep.


Unless they actually get punished of course

£130M?
Game's gone
We really did get Decs at half price!

If the cheats can’t win it with Pep past couple seasons, what chance do they have with a Chelsea reject?

City are desperate to get their own Declan Rice. Now they paid more for a lesser version.

They have a very good side that is well balanced, has plenty of depth and they keep adding. Maresca could possibly do a Slot and win it in his first season. Their team is quite young as well so room for improvement is there we need to keep strengthening to stay ahead.

Funniest thing is that the deadline day they were trying to sign Kaka, they only ended up signing Craig Bellamy.

Depends on how well their replacements turn out.

Guehi, Anderson, Cherki, Semenyo, Haaland will be their core.

It’s annoying Real or Barcelona never came for City’s Iberian contingent during their peak. Would like to see Rodri go as well.

Chelsea club statement on Enzo Maresca and Manchester City: “In Autumn last year, the Club was informed by our former Head Coach that there might be an opportunity for him to succeed Pep Guardiola at the end of the season. It became clear to us that it was his strong desire to succeed Guardiola and that he was fully committed to pursuing the opportunity, despite the fact he was under a long-term contract which he had no right to terminate.”m

In December 2025, our Head Coach unexpectedly and abruptly resigned from his position. Obviously, we felt let down as we believed that his head and heart were focused on another club and another opportunity, despite having just arrived at Chelsea the year before.”

No club wants to change its head coach midway through a season. However, in light of his decision not to continue fulfilling his responsibilities through to the end of the season, the Club was left with no choice but to protect our players, our supporters, and the Badge and accept his resignation.

“In the circumstances and given the mutual respect between clubs, a confidential settlement has been reached with Manchester City, which includes the payment of compensation. A confidential settlement has also been reached with the former Head Coach under which he will pay compensation.“

Looking forward to next season, in Xabi Alonso, we have a Manager who has an exceptional football mind and is a professional of the highest integrity. He has all the attributes to deliver the success the Club’s supporters deserve and expect.”

This is crazy?

I presume City needed to compensate Chelsea in order to hire Maresca? In that case, I would just rejected their proposal and force City to hire another coach and screw up Maresca chance to coach City.
