The conclusion of Pep Guardiola’s tenure at Manchester City is complicated by the simultaneous departure of his senior backroom staff.

The club’s wider institutional framework remains highly robust, and a decade of established operational protocols will endure at the Etihad. The first team is, however, losing the founding practitioners of those daily routines.

Lorenzo Buenaventura defined the precise physiological parameters required to dominate the Premier League. Manel Estiarte managed the complex micro-politics of the dressing room, acting as the primary diplomatic filter for global talent.

Enzo Maresca, poised to assume control on a three-year contract, inherits both a world-class squad and an elite structural foundation.

The immediate requirement for the incoming manager is integrating his own personnel to operate seamlessly at a baseline standard established over the previous ten years.

Whether you think there is a handball or not, there is such a subjective element to it that no ref going to a monitor can conclusively say that it’s a penalty.

The process was way too quick for such a subjective decision, we were being told that the audio wasn’t functioning correctly which should have meant a longer check.

It wasn’t thorough enough, therefore they panicked and that is the story of the SFA and their use of VAR.

For us as a team, no obvious handball.

It is not a clear and obvious error for us therefore shouldn’t have been an on-field review.

[Ross Fotheringham @Fozzyabdn]

Celtic penalty decision feels corrupt. VAR didn’t need to get involved; it’s not clear and obvious. However after it did the VAR official then doesn’t want to make the decision and passes the buck to Beaton who is probably fearful of not giving it. Horrendous

[Ross Fotheringham @Fozzyabdn]

@AbzPodcast Fair summery. Sure second half. So poor. Subs made us worse.

[Ross Fotheringham @Fozzyabdn]

@Tactx_ He’s brilliant. Feels liked he’d be the most like for like Salah replacement for Liverpool.

[Ross Fotheringham @Fozzyabdn]

@Steviewatty @AberdeenFC Should never have got it, but think I see circumstances how he did. However today should have been all about not getting beat MINIMUM. Two weeks to get ready for that.

We can’t keep changing manager tho; we need to give someone time. I just don’t think it should have been him.

[Ross Fotheringham @Fozzyabdn]

Exactly this. Same as Golf. Keep it as 4.

[BBC World Service Sport @BBCWSSport]

Tennis and golf each have 4 major tournaments - why not make it 5? 🏆

⛳️🎾@iaincartergolf and @BenRothenberg join @ade_adedoyin to discuss what sets majors and Grand Slams apart - and whether adding a fifth is a good idea 👇

@Grant3Anderson @northernlites__ With limited CH options, 4-2-3-1 defensively into 4-3-3 attacking should be our best formation. Depending on opposition / phase of game FB told to stay home & tuck in or push on. I don’t get why anyone (including SR) would suggest we don’t have players to play 4-3-3 now

“Now Mr Cormack, wait 2 months then appoint Stephen Robinson as manager”

[Chris Sutton @chris_sutton73]

Aberdeen hit the panic button…

[Nathan @nfthatjt]

Dave Cormack and Lutz have spent the last few months talking about how we want to have a defined style of football at the club and appoint managers based on that.

Therefore surely all manager on the shortlist should prefer the same style of football? No 😂 They have no clue

[chidi @FreeNwakali]

SACK THE FUCKING BOARD. How fucking incompetent can you get.

There should be fucking riots if this comes off. A complete and utter fucking disgrace. Get every single one of them to fuck

[Ross Fotheringham @Fozzyabdn]

@SavvyGooner @schreuder92 Actually wonder if he’s actively trying to get out

[Ross Fotheringham @Fozzyabdn]

@SavvyGooner @schreuder92 Totally agree

[Glen Schreuder @schreuder92]

For all his contact book offers you can not tell me this is an appointment Lutz is behind which begs the question of his role and current purpose

[Red Point of View @ARedPOV]

Oh dear.

[The ABZ Football Podcast ⭐⭐ @AbzPodcast]

Over two months since Thelin left, excuse after excuse about how it's "a hard time to appoint a manager", "we need to wait for the right man", and finally it's Stephen Robinson.

The manager of one of only 3 teams who are somehow worse than us this season.

[🔴⚪️🔴 Maverick 🔴⚪️🔴 @fut_maverick]

@AberdeenFC What happened to Lutz’s clear vision of how we’ll play?
“We set about that we want to be high pressing, hard working, a high intensity team and that’s also the way you coach and prepare the team.”

Is that Stephen Robinson? Is it fuck!
