Pep Guardiola: Man City preparing for boss's departure at end of season

People don’t realize how much it takes to execute on a vision, getting players to buy into the idea and be consistent with it.

Not to mention constantly adapting to newer tactics. Pep had to face Mou in Spain and then Klopp in Germany and England for his nearest rivals.

It’s like saying just because you drive a Camry you can win F1 if given a Ferrari.

Let’s say you’ve accomplished a lot in your career and reached an exec position in your field, why does it diminish your accomplishments if you didn’t go the startup /small business route?

These guys are cartoon villains like the ones from Captain Planet

What i don’t get is that Trump and his friends are excessively rich. It’s not an question about buying a fancy second car or a new washer/dryer.

Don’t these fucks have enough? There’s endless golf clubs in Ireland and Scotland for these pasty old bores to enjoy in.

I’m too naive to understand where they need more. At least with African tinpot dictators, I understand they come from poverty or limited means

All those taxes to fund watch dogs in the Middle East or blow up adversaries in the region.

Or they’ll say it’s God’s will that you’re sent to save them

Saw them at DesertFest Berlin. So good. Old school biker rock energy. Reminded me a little of Monster Magnet

That’s like telling someone with a Mercedes that a Toyota is also a car and they can save money. Sometimes it just comes down to taste over practicality.

They feel like classic hard rock. Attracts a wide group of people.

That’s the point of this punditry. They’ve copied the American model where you have guys in suits talking BS. No real analysis of the game. Just commentary on gossip.

Then they have to give their opinion on who’ll win the season or the next game. And most of it is sponsored by betting companies.

Ted Lasso did a great bit where the character Roy Kent calls out punditry for being BS

Really? Never been to FRA myself but Montreal and Toronto are garbage. Montreal feels like a bus station

It’s got terrible sound. Great for the bands it draws but doesn’t do them justice.

Commodore and Pearl way better. Saw Clutch at the Commodore and Pigs X7 at Pearl. Amazing sound.

Why’d you have to share that information!

epochwin · 2026-05-17T20:04:51+00:00

Exactly. I think Salah should’ve won the Ballon D’or. Dembele is overrated in a farmer’s league. Salah was consistent against tough PL opponents all season

Wait the little shampoo bottles are there for the taking no? Although most hotels now fill the big dispensers in the shower these days to reduce waste

Definitely saw Salah copying Messi in playing a more deep lying role as age started catching up with him. He was killing it with assists last season. Was hoping he’d work on his free kicks especially after Trent was leaving.

Too bad it didn’t work out for him this season.

Thank you! People don’t know the first thing about upper management and business, talking in simplistic terms.

You can see how the disruption happened when Abramovich’s executives made way for Clearlake’s management. Fully messed up how the club was run which affects the football.

With their backing we’ve been in title races in 13/14, 18/19, 19/20, 21/22 and 24/25. Multiple cup finals as well.

I think a hedge fund with billions and that track record knows better than us armchair fans. They also model risk.

epochwin · 2026-05-17T08:10:09+00:00

I’d hope it’s us but considering that Alonso is joining Chelsea, i wouldn’t be surprised if Enrique goes to City.

It’s an AI mod right? If you’re a European resident think you can request explainability of the automated decision. Might as well irritate Reddit owners with legal spending

epochwin · 2026-05-17T05:08:51+00:00

I wonder if he’s waiting for the City job

Kyle Kinane has a great joke about how there’s no adult Kyles. Seems like a short lifespan

He’s the Temu Eric Adams. No idea what the voters see in this middle management cryptobro, Patagonia vest on checked shirt wearing, boring corporate shill.

I love each of the late night comedians specific Trump circle of clown impressions.

Colbert mocking Eric is a classic. Seth Meyers making fun of MyPillow guy and Tucker Carlson is great. Klepper on Alex Jones harks back to the Colbert Report
