Its not just losing A football match in fairness. Its losing a football match the way we did and still we lack defensive organisation as we have shown all season even when we have won.

To be fair it's the end of a poor season, really. Most can take a defeat but it's the number of shockers we've had this year that is raising so much doubt for me. After his first season I was suspicious that Pep could get players to believe in his system but he proved me wrong. Can he do it a second time? Not too sure about it.Fuck me, we lost a football game and then 40 pages of 'get rid' shite appears.

Maybe Pep just needs a fire lighting under him.
This.
Too comfortable with his mates for his own good
It's very valid and maybe a decision has to me made very, very soon.Big Question.
Does Khaldoon stick with Pep or Twist.
Never thought I`d ever consider this but, I think this is a valid question.
We need partially rebuilding , I don't want a man in charge who will probably walk in 12 months time.
And if he does want to stay for another 1-2 years, does the club want him?
The club want to win the Champions League, a serious and honest question, is Pep the man to help us achieve that?
It's not down to Pep because he isn't in charge of transfer negotiations. Based on reliable reports, he was as angry as us fans at the fact that we let United sign Maguire and didn't have a replacement lined up.Why isn't it down to pep? We should of replaced vinny last summer but we signed rodri and cancelo

They do want to win the CL. As it stands if Pep stays we will do exceptionally domestically. Few FA cups and Carling cups here and there. But the CL is anyone's call irrespective of who we buy. Does this hugely expensive project and one of the highest paid manager at the helm is for winning the PL or the CL or both.
This is something the board may have to think about. Because as far as I am concerned, along with a lot of other posters, CL with Pep is a very unlikely scenario.
You think Pep's crunching numbers in his basement coming up with transfer targets? He probably tells Txiki the profile of player that he wants, who then works with the scouting and analytics department to find the the best players for that role. Sure he might put in a phone call at the behest of the club to convince a player to join, but all transfer selections and negotiations are handled by Txiki and more than a dozen unnamed people at the club. Don't blame Pep for what he's not responsible for.Our defensive acquisitions have been poor, Walker and Laporte apart.
The money we have spent looking for a LB for over 5 years is a disgrace and we are as weak now as before.
Not replacing Kompany disgrace, not sorting out the John Stones issue , a disgrace. Giving Otto a new contract at his age and with doubts whether he wanted to stay was strange.
We have blown a major opportunity to win three titles in consecutive seasons and blow the chance to win the Champions League which may never be as winable as it was this season.
We have made major mistakes as a club and it's not the first time that after success we have been utterly complacent and arrogant.
One thing that does worry me, many people think Pep is doing us a favour with his presence at our club, BOLLOCKS, he should be the one who is greatful , this is a wonderful club to be in charge of, he wants for nothing and is given everything he demands, maybe that's the issue!

He needs to ask for a striker who can tap the ball in from 5 yards.You think Pep's crunching numbers in his basement coming up with transfer targets?

(Sorry Raheem)
His constant "were are not yet ready to win the Champions league" or " we have little of no history in europe" is pissing me off.They do want to win the CL.

We as a club have spent hundreds of millions on the world's best players, have the best facilities available, have hired the "world's best coach" yet he knocks us down all the time, why?
If I was Khaldoon, baldy would be in my office Monday morning for a serious chat, and sign on the dotted line (contract extension) or adios and gracias.

If United sacked Ferguson after every less than stellar season or after any particularly stupid cup elimination he would have been sacked 20 times at least.
If next season things continue on a downward trend, then fine, there's a discussion to be had. Or if this season had been a Mourinho at Chelsea level catastrophe, then sure, ask away. But sacking a manager one year off of a unprecedented domestic treble without any room for a turnaround is the kind of arrogant thing many of the clubs we profess to hate do for fun.
Some of you should try showing a bit of loyalty to the most successful ever manager of Manchester City. To turn on him so easily is in such poor taste.
There's little doubt in my mind that an increasingly large proportion of our fan base is becoming entitled. Yesterday was a shit-show, Pep fucked up with his team selection and tactics in the CL KO stages again and it does need sorting, but that's no reason to ignore all the great stuff from the last few years and bin him off for what would undoubtedly be a lesser man.
it's football, shit happens
He gets the players he wants or asks for. He has complete carte blanche at this football club.You think Pep's crunching numbers in his basement coming up with transfer targets?

If he wanted a CB last summer, his best mate Fu***d up big time.

Pep last night did the same for meThis thread has genuinely blown my mind.
Lost for words.
Liverpool and rags or Chelsea, we have gone and continue to go backwardsI'll bite. Who are the Top 2?
Look at the players that we didn't sign and were supposedly Pep's first choice -He gets the players he wants or asks for. He has complete carte blanche at this football club.

VVD - bought by Liverpool (we turned our nose at the 75 mil price tag), we signed Laporte
Mbappe - bought by PSG, couldn't even get the player to agree the personal terms
Alves - bought by PSG, we signed Danilo and then Cancelo
Sanchez - bought by United, we signed Mahrez
Jorginho - bought by Chelsea, we didn't sign anyone
Frenkie De Jong - bought by Barca, we signed Rodri
Maguire - bought by United, we didn't sign anyone
We like to pretend that Pep has been given what he wants every time, but the reality is that the club is able to get the 1st choice targets only 50% of the time.
If he has complete carte blanche, then why has us losing out on 1st choice targets been a recurring theme?
You act as if we will land everyone we want. Doesn't happen won't happen. That is the reason why clubs have shortlist of players. And we weren't going to pay over the odds for CBD or MaguireLook at the players that we didn't sign and were supposedly Pep's first choice -

He wanted Alves, Sanchez, Jorginho, and Maguire , not only is he losing the plot in the Champions League, also in picking a player!Look at the players that we didn't sign and were supposedly Pep's first choice -

And Mbappe never wanted to sign for us, he made that clear, he did not want to move to Manchester.
This thread has hit absolute rock bottom. Can't believe the shite that some of the bellends on here are spewing. Genuinely embarrassing.This thread has genuinely blown my mind.
