    Not a chance and until I see football that was as attacking and exciting as Stendel nothing will convince me. Also Tuesday night proved tactically duff has a long way to go

    Said he's making a decision after the world cup on Sky Sport interview.

    I'd love him to stay at City for 10 years and dominate the champions league, hate Real Madrid.

    Aye, and I'll be shocked if he does leave bud. I do think he will be at some point though

    Just a bit strange why he said the World cup, I'd expect him to be back at Barca at some point as well - he'll have a rebuilding job there.

    Me too, they're doing well in the league, even though their only real opposition was Sevilla away, they did win that 3-0 though, but got out-played & out-thought against Bayern away with ease. Not really sure how the fans are taking to Xavi as manager, but if they afford anyone time I suspect it'd probably be him. Don't see a world where at some point Pep won't return though. I reckon he'd want more control day to day than what national football provides

    Should really have got a champions league trophy by now with the players he's had.

    Speaks well, but then he always does.

    He's got a long way to go to beat Val. We had absolutely no business being in the playoffs that season

    He's a one trick pony, but by God does he do that one trick well. He worked wonders with that team.

    Dyson were only a tadpole when Danny were first here. But I trust his knowledge of footy is better than his musical nous.. :p

    Duff has done superbly so far. For every Cambridge there will be the odd Wycombe. Let's not through the baby out with the bath water next time that happens. The bloke speaks from the heart, says it how it is & seems to have got Davante Cole looking like a footballer. Credit also to Davante for putting the hard hards in & running his blood to water. He needed a manager that would put some faith in him.

    He’s brilliant with the media. And has done ok so far in a very difficult job.

    Val was the best manager since Wilson I think, no doubt.

    Stendel was a myth. I'd get us promoted with Davies/Lindsay/Pinnock/Kieffer Moore/Mowatt/McGeehan/Woodrow. Every one of them walks in to this team.

    Overall, that was definitely a much stronger squad than the one we have now, but I don't agree about Davies. I think Collins is a better keeper. I'm not sure about McGeehan either.

    I was going to post something similar especially regarding McGeehan.

    Kane and Benson both get in my team before him. But no doubt that Stendell side had much better players and any competent manager would have got promotion. In fact a decent manager would have kept us up
