We are lucky to have him but most important of all, he is a very lucky man to be the manager at this football club at this time.Pep’s our greatest ever manager. He’s also in the top 3, arguably number 1, best managers in the world. We are lucky to have him. However I can only see rolling contracts bringing instability. I get he might not want to commit for another 3 seasons but as a club we have to protect ourselves.
Maybe we’re hoping he commits to another year and then next year decides I’m happy I want to stay for another 3. Regardless I think if it continues to roll on it’s going to negatively impact on the club. Personally I’d love to see him commit to 2 years minimum and bring a bit of stability to it all.
I’ll take what we can get but I would much rather he agreed a multi-year extension but we insert a break clause option every year for either side to be activated by a certain date each year.
That in reality changes nothing compared to a 1 year rolling contract but it gives us more pulling power in the transfer market if players see he’s committed to a potential x amount of years as well as keeps the media at bay from the constant questioning of his future every single week and doubly so every time we drop points.

He does not want for anything, has a wonderful owner and board that give him all that he needs.
Pep is not doing us any favours, the manager of manchester City FC is a very lucky man.
Does it not worry you when they state this as the reason for joining?As we have seen with Ake, Dias ans Torres, all three which have cited Pep as reason for wanting to come,

We are Manchester City FC, not Pep FC for me it still paints us as a small time club riding the shirttails of a great manager.
All three of those players should have been jumping at the chance to join us 'whoever' the fucking manager was.
It pisses me right off tbh.
he is a great manager , the best imo and only 2nd to Roberto Mancini in my favs, we set our stall out, we give the managers every chance ,we deserve the very best because of the work done at the clubWe are lucky to have him but most important of all, he is a very lucky man to be the manager at this football club at this time.

Very few players join because we are Manchester City, if any. They join any team because of reasons from wages, the chance to win trophies, the chance to play champions league, to play good football and improve as players, location. Everyone of those except wages and location are linked to who the manager is.Does it not worry you when they state this as the reason for joining?

That is a teaser.
In an ideal world what in your opinion should the club do ?
Some posters seem to want an end to what they see as Spanish domination within the hierarchy
The project did peak and is renewing itself as we go, and will be close to complete next season once Aguero and Fernandinho are replaced. That renewal will be much the same same players whoever the coach is.Honestly no idea. It's like when we know we're going to need a new goalkeeper in a year's time and everyone thinks of the Ter Stegens and the Oblaks and then someone like Ederson who nobody was mentioning has a standout year and we end up going with them.
Oh it's none of that, I just think this particular project peaked a while ago and I don't see it returning to anywhere near those heights. Personally, I'd rather we just start with the next project instead of running this one into the ground.
Goes without saying that I'd be delighted to be proven wrong.

so then the question is who’s best to coach the renewed team. For me it will still be Pep.
To those criticising a rolling contract, can you elaborate exactly why you think it’s a bad thing?
Well, if he signs a rolling contract now we’ll be sure.If I recollect correctly, Pellegrini did state that the final year of his extension was kind of optional. If it's the same with Pep, we are not even sure he will be there next season.
