I am not criticising him in any way, but, in my humble opinion if we go into next season with him not signing an extension it is going to have a serious detrimental effect on us as a club. The speculation will be incredible and I also feel it will have an effect on our player recruitment in the next window.
Khaldoon has a close friendship with Mancini but it did nor prevent him doing what was in the best interest of MCFC and the same will apply to Pep.I would imagine Pep is under some pressure to sign an extension and if he refuses the club has a serious decision to make.And by that I don't mean we sack him.
I’m not sure you understand what I’m saying. Say it using air quotes and you might get my drift.It would be if it was a direct quote but as it's not I would guess no.
If he see out his final year with the same success as his final years at Barcelona and Bayern that's fine by me.Absolutely valid what you say about speculation if he doesn't sign an extension.
But whether that merits the club having to make a decision there and then, im not so sure. Not for me. He simply sees out his contract, and hopefully bags a few more trophies. And has another year to choose to extend.
The club being bigger than the manager logic applies to player recruitment equally.
I hope that he'll decide to stay. I don't think that the club can find someone better than him right now, so they'll do everything to keep him.
The question will rather be whether he decides at some point to leave. He hasn't had much longer times at one club than the time he has spent here. Will he feel exhausted and in need of a break at some point? No-one knows, but I'm quite sure that the decision will be purely his own. As long as he enjoys himself here, he'll stay. The moment he starts to enjoy it less, he'll be gone towards new horizons.
I can see Pep staying for a while. What other jobs are there? And he will be hurting about the season so far. I predict a very motivated Pep doing good things in the CL and in the league next season and for a few seasons after that.
He's going to Juve ............................allegedly ( Italian press )
Joking based on past rumours but I'm pretty sure they would love to sign him up if he became available.
He left Barca on a high. Then he left Bayern after a few seasons. These are no shoddy football adresses. He strikes me as the type who wants to try all kinds of things, not a one-club man.I can see Pep staying for a while. What other jobs are there? And he will be hurting about the season so far.

BollocksIf he doesn't sign an extension now, I'll lose most of my respect for him.
He said numerous times he got everything he wanted here and it's true, we moved the world to get him and give him all tools and freedom he wanted and paid him handsome money on top of that. If this ban stands, we'll need his appeal to sign players when we're out of CL and he should be a real man and do the real thing.

What you've said might hold true for leaving this summer, before the end of his contract, but not an extension.
Come on karen say what you think ;)Bollocks
No point reading all this right now. Its been 12 hours from the annoucement and Telegraph for sure doesn't have reporters sleeping in Peps bed.Pep Guardiola will consider his future as manager in the summer unless the punishment is overturned, Telegraph Sport understands
For me, it's both. If he's a man, he'll stay with his friends through this shit.
