Default Pep Guardiola on his way to EPL?

Pep Guardiola facing dressing room unrest at Bayern Munich with Premier League clubs on red alert
2 years ago PG arriving in EPL would be an honour, talk of him joining Chelsea and taking over from SAF at Man U. Now folk at Spurs, Arsenal are scared he will
join and continue tika taka! He's obviously talented but he needs to re-evaluate and broaden his tactics.

Surely this isn't true. If so, Woodward get on a pissing plane.

Well yeah, but De Boer hasn't been at a huge club really. Has done a great job at Ajax though.

The criticism is ridiculous that he's gotten. German media and Bayern legends basically expecting him to come in and repeat what Heynckes did. Despite the fact no manager has ever won back to back Champions Leagues.

But BM may have won back to back CL's if Heynckes was still around (and 10 years younger), well you never know.

When PG took over there was talk about BM being even better than in the Heynckes era. BM stormed the Bundesliga but dropped feet off gas once they had won and never recovered.

I would love to see Pep in EPL, but I think he should swallow his pride and accept unless Wenger steps down at Arseal, he'll have to manage a team outside top 4. Spurs should break the bank to nap him (surely there must be Bale money left in kitty)

Who? Spurs??

I think PG and Moyes will battle it out to manage Miami. I really think Becks will want a big name manager to send a message to the MLS we're coming to get you.

I think if PG didn't take a 12month "sabbatical" from football, SAF would have stood down and let PG takeover at MU, even choosing him ahead of Moyes. Oh well, we'll never know.

I just think it's funny that 24 months ago when he stepped down at Barcelona any EPL club would have given their left leg for PG, now even the likes of West Ham would probably rather stick with Big Sam A (well maybe a slight exaggeration!!).

Fergie still wouldn't of chose him. It was always Moyes who he wanted to replace him. Diabolical choice. The whole thing was embarrassing.

I'd have Pep any day of the week. He'd of had immediate respect from the players as he'd actually achieved something.

Can't be serious

He's still regarded as one of the greatest in the world

Any club would happily welcome him
