Not so crazy news, he already seemt to have some issues with Rosell for his managerial style, so I guess he didn't want to deal with people like your crazy russian guy :o Sames goes for City.
Bayern seems like a really good fit, attacking style, youngs players etc... Some catalan newspapers also seem to indicate that Barcelona wouldn't be against him taking Masia players into his future team because they know he wouldn't burn them and would take good care of them. If he has access to la Masia and the Bayern youth team, that can't be bad!

Don't think Bayern need Masia to be honest and I don't think Bayern is the club to make due with players that won't make the Barcelona line-up. I've always seen Bayern as a very proud club.

Yeah I agree he will do well in Bayern if he can get over the language gap (which will probably be fine). I think Chelsea is a more exciting opportunity but then again, it is technically a smaller club and doesn't rest on the will of a megalomaniacal Russian oligarch. Will be interesting to see what he can do.

Come on Bayern, that's just not fair.

He'll be so much better than Heynckes. T_T

But it's awesome to see that one of the three most famous managers of recent times will work in Germany, it's amazing how much the reputation of the German league has improved.

Pretty interesting considering he seemed intent on downplaying rumours of a move to Bayern while pretending to be interested in an England job. They have a boatload of young talented players and I think it's definitely a great opportunity for Bayern, despite the fact that I'm really enjoying Dortmund's performances this season. This should hopefully make the next Bundesliga season a tight one :D

Joining chelsea would mean working with the lunatic russian and being always compared with mourinho's past work, I don't think that's what guardiola seeks. Apparently one of the reason of guardiola's departure from barcelona was the fact that he had to do everything because Rossell and his board were incompetent, hence why he was stressed and tired. In a club like Bayern, led by a character like Hoeness, Pep will be able to solely focus on coaching which is good. Can't wait to see him with the tyrol outfit.

No I'm not saying these youngsters would be in the starting 11. They are like extra resource for a club, which can't be bad because they're not yet big egos that don't want to sit on the bench. For example, it seems like Barcelona doesn't want Delofeu to join the 1st team yet, and I bet they wouldn't be against him being on a loan in another club (like Bayern). And I'm pretty sure Bayern would love to have this guy in the squad, even if he is just a sub. Once again, it's just an example, I don't think Bayern 'needs' la Masia, but it's still something good and almost free.

I think you are right. He left Barcelona because he didn't like Rosell president (elected after Laporta, who wasted the 8 maximum years as Barcelona president). Guardiola always was a Laporta/Cryuff supporter and he didnt like Rosell incompetency and anti-cruyff style.

I think He didn't want problems with the president again, so Bayer is best option that Chealsea.

Good luck none the less, should be crazy to see what he can do there.

He quit Barcelona cause of stress and dealing with higher ups, and you think he would even possibly want to coach under Roman?
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

He probably was nudged by the dismissal of RDM as well. Just a reminder of the fickleness of Roman.

Yea great choice, German clubs are by far the best run and he has some good resources at his disposal. Cant say how he will do, but hes making the right decisions.

He quit due to "Politics" in running a club like Barcelona. Where they have all sorts of things going on behind the scenes. Not to do with pressure from the board demanding wins.

The only pressure you get in the Chelsea job is to win football games, like at any club. Roman wouldn't let him get involved in anything other than running the team and maybe saying "this player is good, id like him at the club" other than that the Chelsea manager is only tasked with making the team win football games.

Wow Remy confirmed for QPR. Great signing, better than Cisse for what they need imo. Chuck some pace in there to run onto through balls from taraabt and keep up with hoilett crosses.

He also said not long ago he hated dealing with all the shit Mou threw in his speeches to "other teams". Having to remain polite against the huge douche clown must be tough, Pep almost lost it a few times.

Btw, Guardiola with a great choice as per usual in him.

Wow I didn't realise Kompany's red card against Arsenal was overturned. I was strongly against it being a red so I'm pleased.
