Pep's contract situation | Expected to leave at the end of next season according to Jack Gaughan (p1332)

He hasn't developed youth.

Kane, Alli, Winks.

You don’t like him! Fine!

 

[Gazza]

Pochettino is obvious candidate because he is the only half decent manager who plays the way City board want (possession based football) who is actually available. Arsenal would not let Arteta go and same with Nagelsmann with Leipzig who is under contract there until 2023.

Nearly man that jumps ship just as he's being found out.

Kane, Alli, Winks.

Hardly a ringing endorsement. His final year at Spurs should be a warning to avoid along with the ending of 2015-16 season

I’ll be very surprised and disappointed if City appoint that twat Pochettino. He has made comments on the record when at Spurs which are extremely disrespectful to City. He’s massively overrated anyway. City could and should be aiming so much higher.

All managers have a shelf life, Poch had his, lost the dressing room and he left. It does not make him a bad manager.

Poch didn't have the funds. He ran a squad on a tight budget and look at what he achieved. In my eyes a better coach than Pep.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

This crossed my mind too.

I thought one of the benefits of a director of football is that you try to produce a certain type of football so that if your manager leaves there’s no huge transition in style.

Should mean that players bought for Pep would work for his successor. Can’t quite fathom why we’re not going out to sort the obvious gaps in our squad.

 

[Blue Hefner]

This crossed my mind too.

It didn’t stop us spending when we knew Pelligrini was leaving. We went big with KDB, Sterling and a couple more I think

If he’s going and we want Poch then tell him to go now so we can get on with planning for the current season

 

[citymike1969]

I’ve just read in The Athletic that Pep is our longest serving manager since Tony Book, and if he's here until marc, he will be the longest since Sir Joe.

If you add together all the times Asa Hartford has managed us for a month at a time surely he's the longest serving manager in our entire history?

I just hope the next guy whoever and whenever it is doesn't suffer from Barcaitis.

The guy down the M6 would do a good job I reckon.
