For me the big question hinted at in the article is what Pep will do about Thiago and Schweinsteiger effectively jostling for the same position. No doubt he sees Thiago as Bayern's future but he risks a massive split in the dressing room and potential fan unrest if he tries to edge out Schweinsteiger too soon, especially if Thiago in any way struggles to find his form. And if some of the old guard do start to show concerns about the direction Pep's taking them, the board will be crucial in terms of where they show loyalty. Bayern could very easily become for Pep what Chelsea became for Villas-Boas.
As you say, far too early to speculate but a helluva lot of fun nonetheless
