Dr_Pangloss Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Guardiola clearly wants to collect trophies in all the major leagues, so could totally see it. Let's face it City aren't as big a club as Juventus. Juve have far much more prestige. Edited March 10, 2019 by Dr_Pangloss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he wins the champions league at Man City he's not completed his job there. Especially as he couldn't win it at Bayern This lot is potentially inbound, along with a 12-month transfer ban...

The fact that he left Bayern without winning the champions league demonstrates that he'll have no issue leaving City if he 'fails' to win it.

PaulC Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 He said himself unless hes fired he will see out his contract at City so unless hes lying and he wouldn't be the first to do so, he will be there for another two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Not their fault the FA refused to let Swansea use the VAR they already had installed. More ineptness from the FA. The sheer nerve of the rocket polishers to charge individuals with "bringing the game into disrepute" when they let that happen.
