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

[sir baconface]

No need to be 60 or 'irrelevant' in order to want to return to his home club

I’m sure he won‘t fancy returning as the tea boy.

He's already been quoted as saying he sees himself eventually returning to coach the youth at Barca

I can see that happening but not now. Why?

Firstly, As other have said he is young in managerial terms and is still at the top.

Secondly, If he is managing the academy and the current first team coach is struggling, it would destabilize the team.

Look how much of a shadow fergie placed on the managers at the scum. Always hanging around and influencing decisions from the shadows.

Anyway just like a broken clock you will eventually be right.

Well, the pull from the club/fans will always be there for Pep to return to the 1st team but I believe him when he says it cannot happen. How he resists that? No idea

But coaching youth or running La Masia? I absolutely can see that, I think that's where he could be amazing

I do not crow despite your every attempt to try & discredit me - aren't you tired of being wrong?

Arent you , living on another teams forum, going back to ragcafe to laugh at us , sad, barca are not the best team in the world anymore

It's funny, I thought being bitter & mad at the world was quite sad

Blue blood, not cule blood. You wont understand because you are the establishment.

Eventually, maybe, but now?

He likes to amuse ragcafe with tales from the deluded bluemoon, a plastic at that

Keep telling yourself that as you wallow in your own self pity at the once self[proclaimed great, but now broke and an utter shambles Barcelona !!

Let's look at his possible options if he does not extend

1. Stay in Premiership at another club --> Very unlikely
2. Serie A --> This rumour has had some traction in last couple of years but I also see it as unlikely for a variety of reasons (His own playing experience there, the style of football overall and the level of competition). Juventus has the cache to attract him but I don't see it
3. Bundesliga --> Why return when he went to the biggest club already, I also do not see this as likely
4. Ligue 1 --> Only PSG would possibly be tempting but again there is nothing compelling in terms of the football or competition, not unlike with Serie A
5. NT --> Which? Spain will never happen, neither will Argentina or Brasil. So Holland? Maybe but which competition? WC 2022 is too soon although I would rate this as a maybe. Euro 2024 also possible and again perhaps with Holland. WC 2026 even further away. NT is a different animal and even on this he has backtracked slightly when talking about this as a future job - I think the nature of having little consistent contact with the players makes it less attractive. Short term, maybe - so Netherlands could be a possibility

It leaves either returning to Barcelona in some capacity or taking a sabbatical and re-evaluating during that time. But he will indeed be courted with at least 1 of the candidates in the coming election

Surely you don’t think Bayern are shit to watch?

Bayern can, seriously, fuck off the face of the football landscape. That club is everything that is wrong with football. Fucking cunts have been front and centre trying to ruin our club.

He was asking if you thought they played shit football not put on a pair of lederhosen:-)

Just as bayern cannot differentiate between legal business practices and a frankenstiens monster of an email sent off to some shitty German version of the daily mail; I cannot differentiate between entertaining football and a club that Shangai's players for fuck all from everyone else, killing their own league with their omnipresence, and whose senior management have their very own entrance at the Munich tax courts.
Fuck bayern...

That‘s as may be but they certainly play watchable football, which was the subject in point.

My bet would be on a sabbatical. After that, who knows? But are club options restricted to only the best/biggest club in any particular country? (I know they need to be big enough to pay his salary.)

Mate, I can't be any more clear on my opinion than I already have been.
Praising bayern is akin to complimenting Gary Glitter on being well travelled....
