You would think that this is something that would happen. I would love to think that one has happened, but the story just hasn't been written yet.
Ronny Deila Named NYCFC Head Coach / Deila Joins Standard Liège
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
I watched the Man City match against Oxford today (Wednesday afternoon, our time) and every time the cameras picked him up the announcers were talking about it being Arteta's last match as he'd taken the Arsenal job. For what it's worth.
Thanks. It seems pretty clear Arteta and Arsenal have a deal and he will eventually take over there. But I don't really care about that and most here don't (except I presume we have some Gunner fans). What matters to us is the deal is completely done, especially between Arsenal and MC. To the extent any of the rumors about Rodolfo Borrell and other MC coaches are true, that's likely part of what MC and Arsenal are discussing, and should any other coaches besides Arteta leave that just pushes us further down the domino chain.
As a reminder, Borrell was briefly rumored to be the Vieira replacement for about 18 hours before they announced Torrent. Maybe he was under consideration this year. Even if he isn't a possibility for NYC now, should he or anyone else leave that means Pep has multiple AC spots to fill so we will continue to wait until this is resolved and then CFG gives Pep first choice to fill out his staff and then we finally get to hire a coach.
Because apparently in the entire world there is not a single good candidate for NYC who isn't also a likely assistant for Pep and we can't do a damn thing until our a-hole cousins get first pick.
Any changes? Anything happen? No news? No?
So this is basically the stadium thread all over again.

Can someone with an Athletic account confirm? If true, leaves an opening for van Bronckhorst to come here potentially if he's interested.
ETA: Don't need an account it's in the headline.
City to promote Borrell as Arteta’s replacement with no new coach until the summer
The imminent departure of Arteta to Arsenal leaves the former Barcelona and Liverpool coach as Guardiola's No 2...
theathletic.com
Athletic article says Borrell will remain at City and take up some of Arteta’s roles (which include set pieces, which were previously led by Dome).
It also mentions that there has been some talk about Dome coming back to City but right now Dome is mulling over an offer from Atletico-PR in Curitiba.
No mention of GVB.

Not mentioning GVB in an article about Man City's coaching transitions is potentially a plus for the possibility he comes here.

Does this change the calculus on our coach? Obviously CFG knew this was coming and had multiple plans in the event this happened like they did after Vieira and Domè left us, right?
It settles part of what had to be settled (unless CFG goes outside itself to hire our coach). But other issues remain, and may not get settled by the time the powers that be have to make a decision, including:
- will Pep leave in summer 2020, or
- stay until his contract ends summer 2021 (or extend even further), and
- does CFG want to stash/train/test a possible replacement at NYCFC, which almost guarantees an eventual mid-season coaching change for us, again, and
- the candidates have to consider the same, including whether their best path for advancement is coming to us or burrowing in Manchester
And to think one of the reasons I defected from the Revs was the poor ownership that treated the team as a an afterthought....
Find someone who WANTS to be here. Unless there isn’t anyone good who wants to be here because the coaching job at NYCFC is a [POOP] job, then just roll the ball out and let the team coach by committee.
