Yeah, a coaching job is pretty safe at Bayern the only requirement is to qualify for the CL.

I'd love to see Pep crash and burn at Bayern.
Unfortunately, Bayern's team is just to strong to crash and burn. The only thing that can happen is that he'll be "vom Hof gejagt werden" by Uli.

RI reported that a few weeks back too so I think there's truth in it. But nothing more than scouting, they reckon CB is the priority this summer if Vidic doesn't look stable...and he definitely doesn't right now
So the order of priority is CB, CM and then maybe a winger?
I'd probably agree with that tbh.
We definitely need cover for CB and CM anyway.

Don't know if there will be an order as such but CB is something being looked at.
I would guess we will get all 3, but the choices might have to be compromised depending on the budget.
You don't have a prayer if you are going to the Bridge to try to outplay Chelsea. If you want anything from the game you need to keep a clean sheet, that's the only way.
lol oh man

he's been fantastic to us. arguably best CB on the Portuguese league.

Imagine the meltdowns if Frogie chose to use the rest of his budget to sign Zaha instead of Stroots.

I ... dont really care about the Bundesliga, so this is kind of disappointing to me, but hey! Good for him. Even as a Madrid fan, I always liked Pep so itll be fun to root for him for once.
3 year contract eh? Alex retires in 3 years, jus sayin'

I'll tell my GF he's injured and she can send him more free clothes to make him feel better.
Oh I'm sorry, I meant a Bayern manager will only get sacked if there's a danger of failing to qualify for the CL. You dont even have to win the title, just qualify for the CL and your job should be safe.

Oh, it's Sport. Nothing to see here, then.
Pep was always gonna be too classy for your little club.

Just commenting on both of your usernames lol Furia Roja and all dat
Get the fuck out, I'm great at it. Some bloke's been let go only four days in because he just isn't right, but I'm Nandos material. Truss fam.
Regarding Spurs, they're a toughie to call because usually, you can kind of pinpoint where you need to focus on with a team, even the better ones; Chelsea obviously their strengths and weaknesses lie in who they play on the flanks in tandem with Mata, Arsenal are ludicrously easy to cut apart due to Podolski doing nothing to help out on the left wing, City without Yaya are guilty of sitting too deep sometimes and there's a huge cap between GazBaz and Silva for instance
But Spurs have absolutely dynamite pure wingers and probably the league's best centre mid pairing, so it's a fucking godsend Sandro is out. Clev/Carrick will be able to handle Parker's lack of mobility much more even if its a little more difficult initially breaking through. Valencia and Welbeck are probably the right calls for the wing, though if Rooney's fit I'd be tempted to neuter him on a one match basis and put him out wide in order to move Shinji in the middle.
Regarding Pep, great news. I have every confidence that he'll turn up in the summer having mastered the language, he'll get the continuity of playing style and youth perfect, he won't have to pull a Fergie and manage the whole club, and he'll get rid of useless tossers like Robben.

The reaction to the news tells me one thing. If Pep is not the best manager in the world, he's certainly the most sought after.
Pep at Bayern is great news. Big enough club to see what he can do in a short space of time with the added bonus of denying the might of the riches clubs in England. Perfect day.
- UTD Fans - (Denial) This is all going to plan! Fergie retires and hands over the reigns after Pep is done with Bayern
- Chelsea Fans - (Anger) Feel jilted and seek vengeance from Roman - He's gonna be pissed!
- CITY Fans - (Bargaining) Somebody messed up. Pep should be here, we built the Barca back room staff for him
- Combined whine from 'jilted' clubs - (Depression) I thought he wanted a real challenge - (Yep! The riches of UTD / CITY / Chelsea is any more of a challenge then Bayern's)
- Liverpool Fans et al - (Acceptance) We could never had him anyway...

I threw Liverpool in there coz I wanted him just as much as any of you. We are better off anyway what a tease..."I love the Premier League, come and get me...oh whoops this ring? Oh yeah...I'm with Bayern...call me!
You're so weird :lol
You don't even want him. His contract only runs three years, which is probably the latest Fergie's going to retire. Bayern is a club that are basically the hot hot hot favourites to win the league every year. He just doesn't have to fuck up and he's done a job. They're the side most like Barca in the world probably.
No middle fingers whatsoever.
Denial stage comes when it's someone other than Ole.

Ban betting (1 month) that we'll see a Trappatoni-Style "Flasche Leer!" meltdown conference in Pep's second year! (If Pep loses his job before the 2nd year I win, too!)

Right, sorry I though maybe you were saying something in relation to the caretaker managers.
From what I've gathered, Chelsea fans really aren't all that fussed. All about Mourinho for most.
:lol this is fucking PERFECT
Mourinho to Chelsea
Fergie stays on for three more years

Heh, that italian newspaper (/twitter personality) is awesome after all.
This is awesome for Bundesliga in a "made ya'll bitches look" kind of way, lol
Lots of exposure.
As I already said yesterday, I'm fine with that. Pep could mean a lot of things:
- for a while he'll surely play the same system Bayern are already playing (don't see him benching Gomez and going with Müller as false9 + they don't have the players for a carbon copy of Barca). In time he might add some better players (Xavi could go there for retirement, lol) - but we could too, who knows..
- he hasn't proven himself outside of Barca so there's a chance he might fail at other clubs (kind of like AVB) + there's no Messi around, lol - Mou would probably be a safer bet for Bayern in that regard
- there is lots of potential for controversy and drama (especially if he benches some "important" players and they'll come crying to Ulli)
Even when he comes with a holly aura, WurstUlli & Rummgefigge can and will fuck his ass up if he goes against their interests - they've fucked up a number of managers before..
- it still doesn't hamper our ability to consistently rank in 2-3, make it to round of 16 in CL and beat Schlolke - which are the only really important goals to me.
- this increases the chance of Klopp staying for an even longer period of time because knowing his personality he'll go: "Fuck yeahz! Challenge accepted, mofo".
So yeah, in a nutshell: bring it on, Klopp: "challenge accepted", etc.
