Pep Guardiola will have a fortnight off to consider his Manchester City future; that doesn\u2019t mean anything will be \u2018announced within days\u2019<\/p>\n
Also, the \u2018stars\u2019 description of a handful of Manchester United and Arsenal players is called into question.<\/p>\n
And Arne Slot has left Jamie Carragher battered and broken.<\/p>\n

More than a revealing<\/p>\n
Another year, another Champions League exit to Real Madrid for Pep Guardiola<\/a>. And with that comes substantial news from the MailOnline.<\/p>\n There are a few different headlines to Jack Gaughan\u2019s exclusive on the Spaniard\u2019s future, such as:<\/p>\n \u2018Revealed: When Pep Guardiola will decide Man City future and the clues he\u2019s giving about if this really is the end as City sound out possible replacements\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018Revealed: This is when Guardiola will decide his Man City future\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018Pep Guardiola to take mid-season break to decide if he quits Man City\u2019<\/p>\n The eye-catching part is based on this one line:<\/p>\n \u2018The plan, it is understood, is for the 55-year-old to go away on Monday after the Carabao Cup final and think on what is best for him and what is best for City, a moment that affords him the space to truly weigh things up.\u2019<\/p>\n The \u2018plan\u2019 is coincidentally for there to be an international break after the Carabao Cup final, so yeah. The Mail have basically exclusively \u2018revealed\u2019 that Manchester City won\u2019t play again for 13 days and Guardiola thus has time to kill.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t sound like a decision will actually be made either, just that he will \u2018take mid-season break\u2019 (like every other manager) and use some of that time to think about his future, as is natural.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Pep talk<\/p>\n The above might seem like an entirely innocuous story, some headline silliness dressing up the obvious as a grand reveal. And it is. But the problem is that outlets like the Daily Mirror website see that ball and run with it.<\/p>\n \u2018Pep Guardiola\u2019s Man City future to be announced within days as plan set ahead of Arsenal final\u2019 is just absolute nonsense, isn\u2019t it? At no stage in the Mail article is an \u2018announcement\u2019 even hinted at. They say Guardiola will go away and review his future, not that a press conference has been booked for Guardiola to go all Jordan Belfort and declare he isn\u2019t f**king leaving.<\/p>\n In the body of their story, the Mirror themselves do not even talk about an \u2018announcement\u2019. Because a decision hasn\u2019t been made, and thus the confirmation of one hasn\u2019t been planned. It\u2019s just an awful, clicky headline for the sake of it.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Who will replace Pep Guardiola as Manchester City manager?<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Slot machine<\/p>\n The idea that Arne Slot might have \u2018hit back\u2019 at anyone is fun, but the MailOnline insists \u2018Arne Slot hits back at Jamie Carragher after his scathing verdict\u2019.<\/p>\n
