Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[macson]

The next surprise is likely to be a bit controversial, there have been rumors Pep Guardiola will leave the club after successfully bring Manchester City to the top of the Premier League and ucl, yes although I hope that never happens. But Pep's past at Barcelona became a reference where he left Barca when the team was experience great success because it win various competitions.

Previously, news of Pep Guardiola's move had surfaced after it was reported that Man City had committed financial irregularities a few months ago, but until Man City succeeded in winning the UCL and EPL, the case did not ripple again.  From the speculation that is circulating because Pep Guardiola has played for Roma, he will move to the Italian league, Pep is the smartest coach at the moment, surely many teams are eager to bring him to the club, every team he handles must be very tough and undeniable he is a great coach.

After rarely getting minutes to play at Manchester United, this made Anthony Elanga start to be eliminated from the team and at the same time made him leave and accept an offer from Nottingham Forest. An agreement between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest has been reached at a cost of around £15 million. During last season Anthony Elanga played 16 times for the EPL competition and he did not score a single goal. This might be a consideration that finally made Manchester United want to sell him in the summer.

Apart from that, this could be additional funds for Manchester United to immediately sign Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta, who is currently in the process of making an initial bid.

Rumors circulating about the move of Pep Guardiola, although it's not certain that he would look for the possible exits, rather he wake up one morning and decides to resigned, is as simple as that, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Pep Guardiola can take any drastic decision in any point in time, he did it before with the bluagrana, doing it with the cityzens is definitely not difficult to proved. Manchester City is best at their peak with incredible performance both in the premier league and other competitive elite tournaments. The only thing left for the board is to persuade Pep Guardiola to extend his contract with the club.

But Pep's past at Barcelona became a reference where he left Barca when the team was experience great success because it win various competitions.

It is possible that he will leave before his contract expires in June 2025, I think the best step for him is to coach the Spanish national team. If there is no further option, Pep could train one of the Italian Serie A clubs, or take a short break, as he did before coaching Bayern Munchen. What is certain is that there are many possibilities in the stages of his career, because all football connoisseurs have recognized him as the best coach at the moment.

There must be many big clubs who want Guardiola services including the National Team, my prediction is that he will return to his country and coach Spain one day.

Are there rumors that he's leaving? I know one day he won't be at Manchester City for as long, but I'm looking for news about Pep still no concrete news maybe just a rumor that is not necessarily valid.

The Spanish National Team? Maybe it's because his own country wants to coach the national team, but until now he still continues his desire on the interest of coaching the club rather than the national team although we know he could have changed his mind about it later, or it could be Manchester City will continue to extend his contract

[giammangiato]

I think Man City has turned out to be a very strong team at the moment. Not only from the quality of the players and staff they have, but they also have a winning mentality and are certainly supported by healthy finances. So for this new season, I think Man City will remain the strongest favorite, but there is still a possibility for other teams to shift Man City's dominance. My guess is that Man United and Liverpool will be in close competition with Man City next season.

Guardiola did a great job I must say, he manages to influence the players and make them better with his positivity
I think it's unique of a kind of him as a coach doing this psychological work, I don't think there are others.

Andre Onana left Inter Milan to join Manchester United by that he left Serie A to join Premier League too. He moved to a bigger club and bigger league which is in theory, is a big improvement for his career.

In reality, there are many things in Manchester United and Premier League will be barriers for their success in a new season. They bought Onana as one of main transfers to improve themselves before a news season and to increase their chance to win Premier League. However we see that in Premier League, Manchester City are very dominating the league and other competitors like Arsenal, Liverpool and perhaps Chelsea and Newcastle United will not let Manchester United easily lift the trophy.

In Champions League, there are more and bigger challenges for Manchester United and Onana will not have chance to win it with them in a new season. Maybe next two to three years if the project of Ten Hag goes well.

In fact, I did not underestimate Manchester United in the 2023/2024 season. it's just a shame Ten Hag didn't get the big budget he needed to spend on players in this window. thus, Ten Hag must be extra careful in recruiting the players he wants to bring in. so, this will be a difficult season for United in the competition for trophies in the 2023/2024 season. fortunately Ten Hag has got two players who are his target, namely, Mason Mount and Onana, these two player purchases, are ideal enough to deepen his team's squad.

For me, signing Onana and Mason Mount were the right signings. As for another newcomer, namely Jonny Evans with free agent status, he is quite ideal as a back-up player. however if their target is trophies, United still need some new arrivals. apart from a pure striker, Ten Hag still needs a midfielder. at least, as cover for Casimiro if he gets injured or underperforms. also, several other entrants to deepen United's squad for the new season. unfortunately, they are limited with finances. so, don't get your hopes up if United are able to compete strictly in the race for a trophy next season. it's just that, however, United cannot be underestimated, they have an experienced coach whose performance we don't need to doubt. at a minimum, they will provide a more interesting game than the previous season.

Andre Onana, the Manchester United goalkeeper, is ready to start games for the Red Devils. He must become acquainted himself with his defenders and teammates because he is new to the club and doesn't know how things operate. Andre Onana has a great deal of aspirations to achieve at Old Trafford, and the fans expect him to fulfill those expectations. Gone are the days when Manchester United would compromise their position and beg David de Gea to stay; this time, the Red Devils would let him leave on a free transfer because both parties failed to achieve common goals.

The hype is too much on Onana. I hope he quickly adapt to the team system and drop his pride. Onana is a goal keeper with confidence but the pride he's feeling will end his career prematurely. The character he showcased during the last world cup has made him lose respect in the sight of some fans. A bad record for young goalie like him.

This news makes me wonder whether Pep Guardiola always leaves his club after getting what has been targeted like at Barcelona and AS Roma in the past and whether this will happen at Manchester City.
I know that this great coach has a lot of experience from his history of always giving trophies to the club he is coaching and I admit that Pep Guardiola is also one of the dream coaches of other clubs who are eyeing him.
Other hand, if Guardiola were to leave Manchester City this summer I think it would be a nightmare for City because it really depends on Guardiola strategy to create a strong club.
I hope the news doesn't really happen and at least Guardiola stays until the end of the season.

There are many factors that made Pep Guardiola leave Barcelona in the past.
The most likely problem is about the team's finances or internal problems that are not conducive. I couldn't imagine the same thing he would do at Manchester City after he broke such an important record for that team.

Manchester City have good financial strength to give Pep Guardiola the comfort to be able to stay longer. I wouldn't think Pep Guardiola would leave Manchester City, but it could happen in the future when he has good reasons to leave.

I have also read something like that about Guardiola thinking about leaving City in upcoming years but honestly I don't believe in it. Guardiola has a great team and top class facilities that any manager wish for and he has everything there. I don't think of any reason other than becoming of sick of winning but I feel that since they have won their first CL, Guardiola will push for more and I feel he will stay at City for more years. People like Guardiola go on in search for challenges and I don't think there is much of challenges left to explore after LaLiga, Bundesliga and PL now.

When Pep Guardiola left Barcelona they didn't have financial problems, neither did he leave because of Internal problems, Pep Guardiola left Barcelona after 4 years out of his own personal decision and his desire to take a break from football, after sometime he returned to the dugout with Bayern Munich and stayed for 3 years, before he ended up at Manchester City.

Having said that, Pep has stayed longer at City than he did at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, and i think it is because of the immense support that he has received from the City hierarchy all this years, this has made him love the club so much and it has become difficult for him to leave. Pep will definitely leave City someday, but i don't think it is anytime soon.

In 2020 Manchester City was fined £ 27 million and two years Champions League ban by UEFA for financial fair play violations but it was overturned and the fine was reduced to just £10m fine. But the club was lucky to prove they don't violate any rules last season because it would have resulted in a ban, fine, or point reduction. They might not have won this triple this season and Pep would have left because he would have felt betrayed by the club. For now, he is the best but he might lose his crown this season because we might see better coaches.

Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag has lost patience on the Swedish international. He is a young player that would have contributed to the United team if he was allowed to play more games. Nottingham Forest was able to beat Everton and West Ham to get the signature of the striker. Nottingham coach Steve Cooper is trying to build his team to be competitive in the EPL and he thinks Anthony Elanga will contribute to the club's success in this season's campaign.

Guardiola will end up leaving Manchester City by the end of his contract or a couple of years later or if he sees that managing a national team might be interesting for him, if the offer was interesting eventually

Not fazed by the player Mason Mount honestly, but since Erik Ten Hag personally demanded for the player and rated him highly as a modern day midfielder, who am I to put a halt to the player's move? I feel like he's another overpriced Englishman but I want to see how he flows with Bruno Fernandez in midfied and link up the strikers. Onana! Saw a post saying he's overated? B's! A player that has the highest clean sheets when it comes to the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.

Yeah, back from holidays, and Casemiro already looking plumply and fat, I really do hope we get the signature of Amrabat Florentina player done immediately either of Fred or Donny Van Dee Beek leaves Manchester United.

I don't want to be expectant of anything, especially winning the Premier League, but Manchester United should do all they can to win the Premier League.

It is very possible that the coach of Manchester city will like to take up a new challenge in a new league with a new club, trying to lead them to win the champions League the local League as he has done in Barcelona and Manchester city. Since he became the coach of Manchester city, he has raised the status of the club from the regular club to a world-class club and many clubs will be privileged to have Guardiola as their coach. I do not see him as someone who will like to be the coach to a national team.

Hmmm... National team.. good point but Guardiola and only national team? Things seem a bit off to me as Guardiola strikes me like a kind of a guy who needs actions on a consistent basis and by signing up for a national team and having nothing else means only be in action for a small portion or period. Serie A might interest him next but I have *my doubts* since he had a taste of PL now.

Let's see whats next for him. His contract runs out in 2025 so there is still two years left. Maybe I could be wrong also if he manages to win back to back CL's in next two years (I know it's difficult but its still possible)- then he certainly would feel like achieving everything and there is nothing left to do and leave eventually.

I don't believe Guardiola would want to change teams. Everything is fine with the Manchester City team at the moment. He is the boss of this team. The players respect him a lot. I'm sure we'll see a few more great seasons. If he goes to another team one day, it could be Barcelona.

True, there was an issue that Manchester City was hit by financial fair play violations from 2009-2018, but now there is no longer this issue. When it comes to Pep Guardiola wanting to leave in 2025, it is very interesting if he is looking for new challenges. Once he came close to winning a Treble with Bayern Munich, but now the only other challenge left for him in club football is to win another Treble in either Germany, Italy, or France.

But I feel that if Pep Guardiola leaves he will move to PSG or to Serie A to see if he can do the impossible and win the champions league for them. If he wins the Italian and French leagues he will be the only winner of the top five leagues under Ancelotti. On the other hand when he left England two years later. He will forever be remembered as Man City's finest manager.

I've seen many clubs that are successful not because of their big name or because they are full of star players. But they succeed because of the good relationships they have with each other, with the team officials as a whole, and that has a huge impact on their chemistry on the pitch. In reality, we are presented with many clubs that have big names and star players, but they fail to do their best. I probably don't have to say the name of the club because I'm sure we can judge for ourselves.
There are many reasons and factors, and it must be sought by every club, and now Manchester City can find one or more of the many factors that ultimately make them successful. I also see patience from Mamchester City management who trust the process carried out by the coach.

Indeed. The past football season proved that a roster full of all-stars isn't necessary for success. That was demonstrated by clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United. However, teams like Newcastle and Arsenal show how a cohesive unit may achieve greater success than a collection of individual players. Look at Newcastle, who beat the odds and qualified for the Champions League. People didn't give them a chance, but they surprised everyone by beating teams with more stars via consistency and teamwork. Their winning formula may include factors such as harmonious team dynamics, skilled leadership and instruction, and even a positive team spirit. Things like this are often overlooked, but they are crucial to any team's success. Therefore, having stars is insufficient. The alignment of the stars plays a role as well.

When Pep Guardiola left Barcelona they didn't have financial problems, neither did he leave because of Internal problems, Pep Guardiola left Barcelona after 4 years out of his own personal decision and his desire to take a break from football, after sometime he returned to the dugout with Bayern Munich and stayed for 3 years, before he ended up at Manchester City.

I can still be wrong about that opinion, but we will never know what is the main reason why Pep Guardiola wants to take a break after achieving success with Barcelona. We only know what he disclosed to the media, but we never know what actually happened between Pep Guardiola and the Barcelona management at that time.

Having said that, Pep has stayed longer at City than he did at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, and i think it is because of the immense support that he has received from the City hierarchy all this years, this has made him love the club so much and it has become difficult for him to leave. Pep will definitely leave City someday, but i don't think it is anytime soon.

Of course Pep Guardiola really feels what he wants with Manchester City. He has set new records in his coaching career and I hope he will stop there. Pep Guardiola still seems eager to stay at Manchester City, but he may be stopped at a crossroads for one reason or another.

For next season and the next few seasons, I think Pep Guardiola will stay with Manchester City. It's no surprise that Pep wants to leave for personal reasons, but not now or in the next few seasons. Pep Guardiola can win more titles with Manchester City than any other team, that's one thing that can keep him going longer.
