What does holistic mean

Does it mean we can play with players who are not actually there like a hologram?
if so we have been doing that for weeks.

Think it basically means there's gonna be a shitstorm of massive changes at the club.


Holistic

a. Emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts.
b. Concerned with wholes rather than analysis or separation into parts:

talkSPORT's man in Malaga, Paul Breen-Turner, says Manuel Pellegrini is happy to stay with the La Liga side but the club's off-field issues mean he will have no option but to take the Manchester City job.

Pellegrini is expected to replace the sacked Roberto Mancini at the Etihad Stadium this week but Breen-Turner, speaking on the Sports Breakfast, said: "I don't think he wants to go. I think he is being forced to go because of the financial situation of Malaga Football Club. He's not leaving because this is an ambitious, better job for him. He's leaving because he has to."



That's alright sunshine coz i don't want yer at the club.

Just back on the Holistic thing, some folk saying that it means putting in more youth players and giving the youth a chance.


Really hope to see Guidetti next season.

I take it all back, Pellegrini is more than welcome to the club he really is, actually he can come now if he wants to i'll welcome him with open arms......



Sky Sports understands City are also keen on Brendan Rodgers if they fail with Pellegrini. Allegedly

Sky Sports can suck my dick then.

I have a feeling we might be seeing a bit more of Jose Mourinho at City pretty soon. Second fav with most bookies after this Pellegrini fella, then again they do talk some bullshit so who knows.

According to my research, Mancini bows out with the best win % of any of our managers.

Apparently we want a new manager before the tourof the U.S. and this has been known inside the club but brought forward because of media speculation. Why haven't we got someone lined up? Fergie retires and it's a massive shock but they have someone in place the next day? Fucking circus. We seem to be leakier than a porn star's minge. The press know everything going on inside the club and it needs to stop

I wonder if Txiki tapped up his old mate Guardiola before he agreed to take over at Bayern? Sounds like the owners were planning to give Mancio the boot for months, I'd be surprised if they hadn't tested the water on a few managers before Pellegrini.

What about Jupp Heynckes? Quite likely he'll end up being this year's CL winning manager, which would tick the main box for the owners. I think I read he said he wants one more challenge before retiring. I know he's cracking on a bit, and I don't know much about him other than the fact that he's got Bayern playing moderately well...

Frank?

Devils advocat;

Arsenal stick with Wenger and go from being regular trophy winner to a team that scrape their way to CL qualification every year.

Chelsea swap managers every 3 days and are Englands most successful club of the Abromovich era.

Is stability everything or a phrase that is parroted because it has become so cliche?

Again though - I'm very much in the wanting Macini to stay group.

Long term stability is good. I think the biggest myth is that it requires some sort of all-powerful dictator of a manager to get it. Barcelona have had 3 managers since they became good again, but there are people behind the scenes looking to build the club long-term. Hell, when Guardiola was appointed, he had no top flight experience at all, and his successor's only experience was as his assistant. That's how confident they are in the infrastructure they've built. And it's no secret that our bosses are big admirers of Barca.

and they have employed two of the people behind that team and period of utter dominance.

Manchester City had planned to instigate an extensive sacking programme even before Roberto Mancini's departure from the club was confirmed.

The club's chief executive, Ferran Soriano, and the director of football, Txiki Begiristain, have decided the faults in the existing coaching staff go all the way down to youth level and will make their point ruthlessly.

City's directors have decided Paul Power, who made more than 400 appearances for the club during 11 years as a City player, should be moved on from his coaching role with the juniors. The club will also take the controversial step of severing ties with Jim Cassell, another key figure from their past as the man who led City to the FA Youth Cup in 2008.

Cassell's highly successful time in charge of the youth academy coincided with 27 different players graduating to the first-team, including Shaun Wright-Phillips, Stephen Ireland, Daniel Sturridge, Michael Johnson, Micah Richards and Nedum Onuoha.

He was moved to a new role in 2009 to head up the creation of a new academy scheme in Abu Dhabi, but it is understood he has already been told he has no place at the club under the new regime.

Soriano and Begiristain have also begun the process of replacing Adam Sadler, who coaches the Under-18s, and Pete Lowe, the head of education and coaching, as it becomes increasingly clear the former Barcelona executives have decided there should be sweeping changes.

Roberto Mancini 'arrogant and vain' says former Manchester City kit man• Sacked manager 'made going into work a daily grind'
• Fans did not realise the tension behind the scenes

guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 14 May 2013 10.56 BST
Link to video: Roberto Mancini: from Fiorentina to Manchester City Stephen Aziz, the former kit man at Manchester City, has criticised Roberto Mancini following his sacking as manager, describing him as "arrogant, vain and self-centred" in one of a series of tweets that were later deleted from his Twitter account on Tuesday morning.

Mancini finally lost his job on Monday evening with one reason being his divisive management style that had upset some members of staff. Aziz, who left for Sunderland last summer, tweeted: "Arrogant, vain, self-centred no manners ignorant just some of the daily traits really made going into work a daily grind!! #karma".

Another read: "Not my style to come in here and start to bad mouth someone but this guy was really a piece of work!!!". He added: "Fans don't get to see what really goes on and day 2 day running 2 years there seeing him every day was hard work getting a 'good morning'".

But he praised the club itself, saying: "Mcfc on the other hand what a great club to work for some great players and staff nice down to earth ppl loved working there!!! #MCFC".

Mancini's camp declined to comment.

Tweets posted by Stephen Aziz.
City's fans have reacted with dismay to the sacking with Kevin Parker, general secretary of the Manchester City Supporters Club, suggesting that any lack of harmony behind the scenes was a side issue. "I think they are looking for peace, harmony and happiness in the camp. That would suggest that under Roberto that isn't the case," he said.

"We all hear rumours and hear stories about it not being a particularly happy camp. But as fans our interest is a successful football team, success and trophies, and under Roberto that is what we got.

"Of course we are disappointed we have not won a trophy this season but in the eyes of City fans, that is not failure. When you have waited as long as we have for trophies, then the three Roberto has brought in three years are certainly keeping us happy."

Parker added: "It is unbelievable. The club have said the targets set haven't been met, but finishing second in the Premier League and losing finalists in the FA Cup would suggest those targets might have been unachievable. Does that mean we had to win the Premier League and win the FA Cup? I'm not sure."
