He was devoid of any enthusiasm.
If that's Pep being happy with his lot, I'd hate to get on his wrong side.

I don't want to read too much into a press conference, and my opinion isn't based just on that, but Pep seems burnt out to me. If he doesn't sign something before the season starts I think there's basically no chance he signs a new deal at all.
As he tends to be in most of his conferencesHe was devoid of any enthusiasm.

Unless Messi arrives in the next few months, I don't see Pep extending.
Time to start the search for the next manager then.

I agree. But surely that's a concern? Our manager only wants to stay if we sign the best player in the world?
Seems a bit childish/spoiled IMO.
I only said something like that, something which makes him want to go again, whether it be a player of standing or another game changer in the equation.

Sounded like he was just going through the motions.
No enthusiasm at all.
It was not a press conference that filled me with inspiration and made me feel excited about the new season. He really did look like he was somewhere he really did not want to be.

Look at his press conference on Youtube. I've mustered more enthusiasm standing in the queue at Lou Macari's Chippy.
Ridiculous the club are letting a manager seemingly call the shots here. If he doesn’t want to extend now I firmly believe we should have mutually parted ways. Some fans act as if there isn’t a life after Pep but I would argue a season with this uncertainty and a potentially unmotivated pep is far more damaging,
I will be forever grateful for what he has done for this club but ultimately no one is bigger than the club and at times I can’t help but feel Pep feels he is doing us a favour being here.

I did acknowledge that, he finds it tedious, certainly the inane questions, but he didn't give off the vibe of someone who was buzzing for the start of the new season, spending most of it, telling us all we have players who can fill in elsewhere.

If it's his last season and it's anything like his last seasons with his previous clubs, then alls good.Ridiculous the club are letting a manager seemingly call the shots here.

wasn't long ago we won our appeal and Pep had a heck of a presser. Best not to read into people's perceived moods...maybe his dog pissed in his favorite shoes?

I said it earlier. A 1 year extension doesn't cut it and if that's what he comes back with when asked we should say thanks for the memories and move on.
He commits for a 2/3 year deal or nothing.
That window for Messi was key and it not happening has hurt everything imo.

Maybe he's not enthused by the prospects of a season behind closed doors.He said something before the original postponment to that effect.

No question. Having seen many of his press conferences, nothing out of ordinary much less revelatory apart from the odd format of confinement era press conferences
He is playing it down.I did acknowledge that, he finds it tedious, certainly the inane questions, but he didn't give off the vibe of someone who was buzzing for the start of the new season, spending most of it, telling us all we have players who can fill in elsewhere.
Inside he is thinking how he can wipe the smile of the Goofball German and restore order.
I think his demeanour is his acquired attitude to the British press pack. His non-acknowledgment of the guy who started with a "hello Pep" and the pause for reciprocation that never came, he knew a narky question was comingUnless Messi arrives in the next few months, I don't see Pep extending.
It will take something of that magnitude to seemingly fill him with renewed zest for the job?
Listening to Pep there, while acknowledging how much he finds the whole presser thing annoying, he provided little optimism and enthusiasm for the season ahead.
He actually sounded a bit like Mancini in his final days, dissatisfied with his lot.
We seem to be sleepwalking a little into the unknown this season.
First time in a while that there is less confidence and certainty about how the team will actually perform?
Nope, he hates it here and is doing us a favour until he waltzes back to Barcelona where he will live happily ever after.Maybe he's not enthused by the prospects of a season behind closed doors.He said something before the original postponment to that effect.
Keep up... :-)
