But you're assuming his personal target is only to win the CL - then he's gone. He might have other unfulfilled targets for City before he thinks his time is up

am saying if he wins champions league with city this season then he's won everything possible with a premier league club. i think pep see's that as a great leaving point and job done for what the owners brought him in for.
leave at the top and nobody can question him leaving and he leaves with everybody's blessing.

also manchester city will need rebuilding and a new project would take another 3 years.
so again i think pep can leave if we win the champions league this season knowing city are at a very good place for somebody to come in and stamp his own setup on a team and would be given time to build a new team

but like i said i truly hope the manchester city board are already looking and talking life after pep because its close.
also i feel the players are now ready for the champions league and want to write the wrongs off last season and put it right for pep

You mean like Ole ??

Why should I mean a stupid thing like that? When did Ole have success? In Norway?

My point was that 3 years are a lot of time in football, things change, sometimes quickly. A year ago Tuchel wasn't highly regarded (by many), now he is.

Not sure if anyone's asked the question but would anybody here be opposed to be Pep taking a sabbatical with an interim manager coming in with the understanding Pep would be back after say a couple of years of good rest and golf. Am not sure what top manager would take that deal or the risks involved but in an ideal, hypothetical world would anyone be opposed? Just curious.

A your name suggets, the answer is uncertain and observer observation may have an impact. But if the name is from Breaking Bad you will not understand :-)

i don't think he care's what others think about him ? he just sets personal targets and can see when its time up

He doesn’t though he sees out his contracts and shortly before it’s up decides whether it’s time t for him personally to move on. There is nothing in his past to suggest as soon as he’s reached his personal targets somewhere he ups sticks and leaves them in the lurch, which leaving the day after a June C/L final would be doing.
We will know months if not a year before he is leaving and have that time to prepare.
 
I think he will do 10 years in total whether he wins the champions league or not. IF Haaland comes I’m sure he’s going to want reassurance about who is going to be in charge as well.
 
Too many noises lately that he’ll be off when his contract is up. Just enjoy the football we see now we may never see it again. I think he fancies another sabbatical and then maybe international management. We’ll get another top draw manager when he’s gone either way. I’m praying we convince him to stay longer. Maybe getting haaland could could help that but I think he’ll go

Exactly. Retaining the title, getting to the champs league final. Domestic dominance over the last decade, we're in a very strong position to secure the best. The problem, as the rags are finding is who is available.

There is absolutely no comparison between the management of the two clubs .

Finding somebody for City will have the proper research and due dilligence carried out rather than desperate grasping at straws as another " best thing since sliced bread " is chosen to lead the self-appointed " best club in the world ".
 
Every manager will want this job when Pep leaves. I guarantee you if pep was to leave now every manager in the prem , possibly in Europe as well would want this Job. Rodgers at Leicester has said he doesn’t want the United Job as he wants City. Do you think that the other managers don’t think the same. We have dominated English football since pep was here domestic treble,100 point etc.

We have money, a more than competent board compared to other clubs, amazing owners, a brilliant academy its a dream set up for any manager.

i just think city and pep have some sort of agreement in place that if he wants to leave if we win the champions league this season then he can leave

there is far to much going on with interviews and media reports about his future and after todays question about his 200 game for city in the premier league and could he see himself doing another 200 and he said no a BIG no

so read into that with what you like ? but that sounds like winning the champions league is the end and he will move on and take a break then look for a new project ? that's what it sounds like to me because why would he need to stay on when he's won everything possible with manchester city

its a question that says manchester city are the best and under pep its been unbelievable. so do you fancy taking up the hot seat and be successful straight away because you can bet the media will be all over you if not

the manchester city manager job after pep will be the hardest in football and the premier league ?
because you will be judged on what pep did and you will have money to spend or new players and everybody will have to hit the ground running and maybe win a trophy

It's taken nearly 6 years to get to 200 league games so it is hardly a big clue that he doesn't think he will do another 200.

true

but he looked like its been a long 6 years and he did not fancy many more. so if he can win the champions league this season. i see him looking at it and saying well maybe its time ? little signs are starting to stack up and maybe he feels he can not go on anymore.

for me if he wins the champions league this season then its all down hill from there. its takes a hell of a job to get there in the first place. i don't see pep enjoying and looking back on success and just going through the motions with being manchester city manager because he's a winner and know what it takes to win

the best thing for manchester city would be pep leaving after the champions league if we win it this season
it would be painful but ? for the good of manchester city we have to let go of pep at some point and winning champions league would give a little breathing space for a new manager
 
Didn't Txiki say years ago that after an intense manager like pep, you need to bring in someone a lot more chilled to give the players a break?

Many of the players would be on their way out too.
Would Klopp give the players a break? Lol
 
I would love to see a list of the 100 managers most often mentioned to replace Ferguson over the years and where they ended up once he did....(ironically I would suspect Pep would have made that list). Bottomline is even 18months is a really long time in football. It wouldn't shock me if its some really off the wall person, I get the feeling the club will look to appoint someone that fits the system over changing the system for someone else.

If that's the case it's important that it's more of a Villanova situation than an Ancelotti type, where the chilled successor at least isn't too hands off tactically or in training.
