Pep's secret release clause means he could leave in summer
Sportsmail can reveal that the deal the Spaniard signed last year - which saw him extend his original contract until 2021 - included an agreement that he could depart at the conclusion of this season.

I think Arsenal missed Brown Nose’s memo that Man City are shit.

They'll be excellent once they get Arteta in. Can't go wrong with an ex player. Can't go wrong with an assistant to a successful manager either. Could be like a beautiful splicing of Mike Phelan/Shakeytits/Schteve McLaren and Alan Shearer/Ole/Lamps.

Looks great in a suit too.

Well that does appear to be the decider. I suppose if you're paying over a grand for a season ticket you want to see a manager dressed to impress your parents on a first introduction.

Some of these managerial appointments defy belief. Of the so-called big six, soon three will be managed by totally unqualified former players simply to placate fans with a vain and spurious hope that they'll turn out to be top managers.
Arteta going to Arsenal makes zero sense. Lampard going to Chelsea was lazy and I think is doomed to fail despite a better than expected start. Solskjaer was a bewildering decision that continues to astound me.
I'd wager that the top four at the end of the season will be the four teams with the best, proven, managers - Liverpool, Man City, Leicester and Spurs - in that order.
The idiot clubs will piss about for Euro League places. Their fans are being taken for total mugs. It's brilliant.

It's mental innit? Fast forward 10 years when I'm frothing at the gash at Vardy being appointed for the same reason. Followed by us pretending everything is great.

This was what I thought of when I heard this appointment:

It ranked Ancelotti 395th out of 396 managers. This was not because Ancelotti did poorly, but rather that given the star-filled teams he has managed, he should have done even better.
