How do Manchester City fans feel about Guardiola's departure?
Were there any birthday parties this summer? We don't have any celebration parties. Yeah, yeah, listen. You can always find a reason for a celebration. Because it's a matter of fact. It's a matter of fact. From the VIL theme you can find useful tools for everything. It was a question of your own or a friend's project.
It's a matter of fact. This is the Football Daily Podcast with Aaron Paul.
Hello and welcome to the Football Daily Podcast. Coming up, we're going to be reflecting on the news that Pep Guardiola is leaving Manchester City after 10 years in charge with Enzo Maresca reportedly being lined up to replace him as head coach.
What insights does Guillem Balague provide on Guardiola's future?
We'll discuss whether the Premier League is embarking on the next generation of great managers and we'll look ahead to the final day of the season and in particular, the relegation battle between West Ham and Spurs. Clinton Morrison, Paul Robinson and Don Hutchinson are all with us as is correspondent John Murray. We'll get their thoughts on the Pep Guardiola news shortly, but first, let's hear it from the man himself.
When I arrived, my first interview was with Noel Gallagher. Welcome to Manchester. Thank you so much. I woke up thinking, OK, Noel is here, this will be fun. And what a time we have had together.
Is the Premier League entering a new era of young managers?
Don't ask me the reasons I'm leaving. There is no reason. But deep inside, I know it's my time. Nothing is eternal. If it was, it would be here. Eternal will be the feeling, the people, the memories, the love I have for my Manchester city. This is a city is built from work, from graft. You see it in the color of the bricks, from people who clock in early and stay late, the factories, the punk arts, the unions, the music. simply the Industrial Revolution and how this changed the world. Remember the Manchester Arena attack when this city showed the world what strength actually looks like. Not anger, not fear, just love.
What are the implications of Guardiola leaving for the Premier League?
Community, togetherness, a city united. Remember losing my mom during COVID and feeling this club carry me through it. The fans, the staff, the people of Manchester, you gave me the strength when I needed most. So ladies and gentlemen, thank you for trusting me. Thank you for pushing me. Thank you for loving me. Tony Walsh said in his unforgettable poem, This is the place. I'm sorry, Tony. This is my place.
Who will be the key players in the final relegation battle?
Noel, I was right. It has been so fun. Love you all.
Pep Guardiola in his own words from a video put out by Manchester City on their social media channels. Just let's break down some of the numbers. 10 years, 20 trophies, 592 games with 416 wins, 87 drawn, 89 loss, 1,422 goals scored and just 520 conceded. And the only team to get 100 points this in a Premier League season of 2017-18. He came with an expectation.
How do Spurs and West Ham compare in the relegation fight?
It felt like they were bringing in a winner, John. And win is what he did.
Yeah, and then some. You know, it's not just that. You know, to run through the list of trophies is one thing. And I mean, it's phenomenal enough, as Thomas Tuchel said today, smashes all the records. But it's more than that, isn't it? It's what he has, the influence that he's had, as we've been saying all week. You know, it feels so big that he's moving on. And we might not see him in club management again.
What are the predictions for the final day of the Premier League?
We might see him in international management. We'll see. But that's why when I was commentating at Bournemouth on Tuesday night and the final whistle goes and they finish second, I couldn't take my eyes off Guardiola. Because at that time, of course, there wasn't this confirmation, but we knew that this was going to be it. So that's it. You know, in his final season, he'd finished short in the league. And just to see him and how he reacted. And he went to the away supporters, you know, which is always the core, isn't it? Travelling support for any football club, those ones who go away. So he went over there and it wasn't long, you know, there was an acknowledgement, but then he had to walk back across the pitch.
