Yeah good point, and the fact he is only 33 aswell probably didn't help. Its sad though. I'm convinced given the time he would of been a sucess.

The old gaurd weren't happy because they weren't playing every single game, but if Roman has given AVB this project, what choice does he have? We need to get used to life without Cole, Lamps, Drog ect sooner or later don't we, but Of course they still have so much to offer us. Pep would want to play attacking football, something AVB tried to do, in which the old gaurd were not used to, as they have had this Mourinho park the bus philosophy drilled into them, they beleive it is the only way to play football!

Exacly mate.

Its painfully obvious that big Roman has Pep Guardiola in his sights, but what I'm confused about is, he obviously wants Pep because he is a philosiphor and would eventually transform us into an attractive team playing attacking football... So why was AVB not given the time to do it? We saw how he flourished at FC Porto with young, hungry eager to learn players, and it was obvious that the old guard where at fault for AVB getting the sack. Granted, it sounds like AVB's attitude towards some of the players stunk, but I just don't understand why Roman would fork out £14M and give AVB the task of commensing a 'project' of ushering a younger team and making us a more entertaining side to watch, if he's just going to sack him not even a year into the job? Obviously it's going to take time Roman? So how would it be any different with Pep Guardiola?? Nothing seems to make sense.

Total disrespect to to Robbie and Eddie. The lads have just won us the UCL, what more can they do? The fact Pep Guardiola is being mentoined is even more disrespectful. If Roman wants Pep because he wants him to take us through the transition and to turn us into an attractive football team, why in the hell wasn't AVB allowed the time to do it?
