The story about City is a complete bullshit and it's obvious, but I still suspect the Soriano/Txiki factor could really boost City's chances to sign him. Plus, every manager on earth would like to go on a new place and have important people from the high floors watching his back. And you can bet that Soriano and Txiki will be doing that.
Chelsea would be a mistake. It'd be great to see Pep managing Hazard, Mata and Oscar and make them even better, but the way Abramovich is treating his managers (even his best ones) is just terrible. Pep do not deserve a shit like this.
Plus, the way Roman is trying to give directions in his managers' work is ridiculous. Pep would never be allright with this.
