Someone at my weekly mid-life crisis football seemed convinced that Iraola is going to be City's next manager. Currently 6-1 with some bookies. Weird to see Glasner in the mix at 12-1. With the Leverkusen job expected to become available, I think that's where Oliver will pop up next. I definitely do not expect to see him in charge of City.

Vincent Kompany is currently 2/1 for the City job; if he went there Bayern could well be interested in either OG or Iraola.

Something I can't see has not been discussed is the fact that alot of our players will not have a full preseason whoever comes in, the group stages of the world cup are until the end of June, most of our international players countries will make it to the last 32 and many to the round of 16, which finished the 7th of July. Given they will have had no rest between the Conference final and the start of friendlies and the tournement, most you would think then be given 2 weeks off, they would report back to training around the27th of July 2 weeks before the start of the new season, we will be asking a new manager with new ideas and maybe new players to get up to speed as a squad in 2-3 weeks. The start of the season is going to be difficult for alot of clubs, even more so for ours.

Because of the World Cup, the new season won't start until 22nd August and will finish on 30th May.

Guardiola it all fits:
  • Leaving at the end of the season Glasner is leaving.
  • After the shenagins at City of 115 charges he wants a more ethical club.
  • The conversations he had at the end of the game last week with several Palace players. Now we know what he said to Richards to make him laugh, play like that for me next season and I will personally.....

...wonder what I did to be managing a team with you in it.
 
Rumours still that we're talking to Iraola. Without meaning to do us down, I don't get why he would come to us and can't see it.

We have a lot of attractive qualities at a club but Bournemouth are fantastic and his reputation has never been higher. Unless it's a lack of major options elsewhere, I don't really see the benefit of coming here other than a payrise.

Still feel like we'll end up with Thomas Frank or someone like that. He would be an incredible coup though if we do pull it off.
 
The more I hear Dyche speak I can see him as next Palace manager he ticks all the boxes for what SP goes for and would want.

We tried to get him in the past as well which is another thing we are know for don't get someone first time we will get them down the road.

Unless he's been asked to email his shopping list over with the promise of £500mil to spend on players, I can't see the attraction for him either.

Football like most human activity has fads and Dyche ball is not in fashion,foreign managers with an attacking mindset rule, Dyche will probably appear in the Natural History Museum alongside the other dinosaurs as an idea it is a Diplodocus.

You’re absolutely right that UEFA’s SCR rules are far stricter than the Premier League’s, and it does raise the question of whether things shift if English clubs keep dominating Europe. If enough of the big continental clubs start feeling disadvantaged, you can imagine the lobbying pressure building.

On the money side, winning the Conference League barely scratches the surface of a Premier League wage bill, so it’s hardly transformative. And yes, having a billionaire owner (Woody Johnson 43%) sounds great on paper, but as Newcastle have shown under PSR, even huge wealth doesn’t translate into freedom to spend. The rules bite harder than people realise.

What really skews things is the loophole territory. The biggest clubs can lean on creative accounting, asset revaluations, internal sales, and all the corporate machinery that smaller clubs simply don’t have. Brentford, Fulham, Palace — they can’t magic up a hotel sale to themselves or shift assets such as their Women's Team around to balance the books. It’s capitalism in football form: the more infrastructure you already have, the easier it is to “comply”.

It does feel like the system is trying to enforce parity while simultaneously rewarding those who already have the scale to game it Ie The Big Six /Euro Super League Breakaway Wanna Be's). Whether that eventually forces a rethink — especially if Europe starts pushing back — is going to be interesting to watch.

It's been the modus operandi of the footballing world for fifteen years now. I do hope to see that rethink but surely if it was coming it would have been long before now. It is a dangerous game to confront the powers that be in football.
