Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

catalyst said:
When it comes to it there will be good options. Nagelsmann is good, Lucho could be interested, ten Haag, even Zidane. I'm sure Pep will himself have input and suggest who takes charge after him.

Nagelsmann and ten Haag are so unproved as of now... We know nothing whether they have the capability to succeed at a much higher level..
 
I sincerely hope that Pep signs for a further two years with perhaps a rolling one year contract after that.
For all of you that question his management, and yes he has made mistakes, I would ask that you turn your minds back over the last few years and the trophies we have won. But it is not just the silverware that matters it is our style of play that is so exciting.
I would love to win many more titles and cups but at the end of the day it is the excitement of watching us play under the coaching of Pep that makes my day.
 
Anyone know when the end of year khaldoon interview might be coming?

Can't come soon enough, with no news out there, we'll be getting all sorts to fill headlines.

Your post implies you have insider knowledge of the players

Without exposing your source:~

exactly how many players feel the same way?

who are they?

are they regular first team players?

what are these specific bad signs?

hasn't Pep done more in the last two seasons than most managers achieve in their careers, yet you don't think he has succeeded?

Your reply will enable us to determine how credible you and your assertions are, and I look fwd to seeing it.

Regarding the use of social media to determine fan opinions, you do know how naive that is as not every user is a fan of the team they comment on, or do you actually know for sure they are?

Just as an aside, do you not think that after two very hard fought and draining seasons, expecting the same standards for a third consecutive season was a step too much, even for our great squad?

I trust my post is not offensive and you can reply in full

Finally a post worth responding to thank you for asking legitimate questions.

1. At least five
2. Not all of them
3. KDB, Bernardo, Gundogan, Zinchenko, Mahrez
4. Losing confidence in his team selections and feel he doesn't trust his players enough
5. I never said Pep hasn't succeeded. I said he hasn't met the goals of the club for this season. I will say that injuries to key players, unlucky VAR decisions, Arteta leaving, the corona virus, and the passing of his mother have all had a huge impact on this season and Pep in general. However, some things are solely on Pep. This includes limiting the play time of some players and not trusting them and erratic formations and tactics.

6. I think you make a great point about not all people on social media being City fans. However, do you know that not all people in the stadium are City fans as well? Plenty of tourists and casuals these days.

7. The last question is a question that the City higher ups will be asking themselves. I don't expect the same standards I only expect the team to put itself in the best position to win. That didn't happen against Arsenal or Lyon.

They absolutely can. In the most civil and polite way possible, your views are mental and total horseshit.

But not as insane as the fabricated selective arguements you come up to try justify them.

You've had plenty responses telling you pep has won 8 trophies, not just 2 as you claimed, how few have managed to won CL, players improved, football played, records set.

Yet you still claim he is a failure? get a grip.

Edit. just seen the zinchenko comment you refer to, all he said was that pep didn't want to talk about the defeat. FFS, if you are claiming that as losing the dressing room thats right up there with your claim he has only won 2 trophies in 5 years (1 of which hasn't yet happened).

In none of my posts have I said that Pep has only won two trophies at City. I was only referring to this past season. Please have a read through them again. I never said he was a failure during his tenure at City. I said that this past season was a failure in the eyes of the ownership and some fans.

Comforting yourselves with past stories to be grateful of where you are, just to digress from the issue at hand. I guess we should keep Pep and keep spending millions without a CL trophy because hey, back in the day we were relegated at least we're alright now! Who cares if we don't improve in Europe! Unreal logic.

Far from. Last time I got active on here was the last summer window when plenty of users here were losing their heads at the idea of saying Otamendi and Stones are just not good enough.

Divisive opinions aren't welcome maybe.

Don't you know that if you disagree with people on here that you're automatically an agent provocateur?

I'm skeptical that you would have such detail, sorry

Disappointing, fans should always ask more and question the manager/players. It seems that isn't welcomed here, the mere idea of what could be done next sends users into PTSD about relegation era and such.

He’s human Bill and makes mistakes yes I agree there but I wouldn’t swap him with anyone else. At times with his City teams it’s like watching Brazil

He does make mistakes and sometimes lose against teams that if he stuck to his total football principles we would beat comfortably.
We lost badly to Norwich away at the start of the season, terrible performance and tactics, yet did he learn from that defeat?
He seemed to keep making similar errors like that all season. Playing in mobile players together in midfield, exposing a terrible defence.

How do people actually believe this? You think these 50m players are only good because of Pep? They are quality players that will help us long term no matter who the manager is.

The way we are run now whoever is our manager think we will win trophies in the future but those two seasons where we got 100 points and the domestic quad will be looked at as a one of and when pep goes don’t care what anyone says it will be a downgrade look at the scum going through managers like fun since Fergie went spending a billion in the meantime how many title have they won since! How many trebles or point total have they reached? 50m players do not guarantee you any success it helps but it’s the settled infrastructure of the club and a manager that wins you trophies consistently over time.
 
Its bizarre that some think it's time for Pep to go.
This season it was made clear that liverpool were to win. The premier league has a plan for a different winner ever 6 years, this said by the than chairman. This was clearly used this season it's called VAR.
Given everything that has happened this season, to lose to a team that governing bodies bent over backs to help them. Given that that team throw both domestic cups again. We still finished second, 1 cup win, 1 semi final, and 1 quarter final. Our manager lost his mother to this pandemic. I was lost for some years when I lost my mother I struggled to keep a job let alone try to win .major honours at a football club.

Some of our fans are sounding like dippers and rags we should win everything ever year etc. Was I disappointed this season ? To a degree yes but in the grand scheme of things over the last 2 seasons no. But to live up to those 2 seasons is a big ask. We arent entitled to win lots of honours ever season.

Maybe we should pay record fees for keepers and defenders? Of course, klopp and paperboy work on a shoestring.....
I'll stick with pep, if I wanted Wimbledon I'd watch Liverpool but I'd watch our brand of football all day over that, as for winning the champions League, are any true city fans that bothered?

Liverpool got really lucky when they did win the 2018-19 Champions League(second leg vs Barcelona springs to mind). We could do with that kind of break ourselves
 
Bet the Sheikh, Pep and players are absolutely fine with no European glory because "true City fans" aren't bothered. Maybe we need some PR to help our fans understand the importance of progression in Europe for this club, given the stage we have now reached. How can you stand the fact that Spurs have reached a CL final with Pochettino, when in fact our coach and our squad is head and shoulders above, and we got embarrassed in quarters by their side. If that doesn't make our fans want better from us idk what can

Very lucky, they could have been playing in Europa League had Alisson not made the save from Milik shot in the Napoli game vs them. But then again, they also reached the final year before, where call it luck or whatever but Karius blessed us with that moment. Good teams have to force their own luck

Yes with luck like liverpool had in that season City would have won the CL at least twice VAR or bent ref'ing has made sure we havent won it so far, nothing to do with our managers
