Pep Guardiola Next Brighton Manager
25 Answers
So it said on the radio that this Pep person is leaving Barcelona, and might come to an English club.
Realistically, after somewhere lovely like Barcelona, he's not not going to go ...
... somewhere ponky like London, or
... somewhere remote like Manchester, or
... somewhere freezing like Merseyside.
There's only one logical conclusion ...
Pep Guardiola is going to be the next Brighton manager.
Yay that!

today's Guardian leader:
The reaction to the surprise news that Roy Hodgson is a chat away from being named as England football manager was depressingly negative in some quarters. One headline mockingly described him as "Mr Average". Would that be the Roy Hodgson who has managed in seven countries, reached a European final and coached in the World Cup? A manager with a career average of wins of 43.04% (against Harry Redknapp's 40.76%). A man who speaks Norwegian, Swedish, Japanese, German and Italian, and whose English is courteous and considered. A lover of literature, he cites Kundera, Updike and Schlink among his favourites – and is probably the only football manager in England to have once drawn parallels between his career and a Kandinsky painting. Hodgson was described in fearful terms on Monday as a "broadsheet man in a tabloid world". That may be so – but let's hear it for depth, breadth and integrity.
