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

If you read the matchday thread there seems to be a lot of City fans who are hoping the answer is ”never” although no alternative is ever put forward other than offering their own services as Chief Substitutions Advisor (CSA)

Don’t get me wrong these posters are invaluable in their ability to predict the next City player to smash the ball into the back of the net by insisting that Pep should immediately remove the soon to be goalscorer.

They are also crucial in pinpointing the players who should “never play for City again” Some people might think that this is not based on fact and is merely that a poster dislikes a particular player, but this is not true. In the last few games the whole squad has been recommended as “useless” albeit on an individual basis.

If I could make one suggestion it would be that these predictive posters stick around after City have won to explain their earlier thoughts and conclusions. Leaving the thread after a victory robs other posters of the opportunity to congratulate them and gain an insight into their thinking.

I myself sometimes follow the postings of the sage predictors and I am able to build up a picture of exactly how we are playing. However when I review the match myself I cannot seem to find the multitude of poor performances or the barrage of shots on our goal. I need help reconciling the performance I am watching to the CSA analysis.

I think therefore, for BM to be inclusive, the thread title should be changed to “When will Pep finally piss off?”

Peps has got to stay, I'd rather lose the whole squad than lose the genius.

Even if we fail to get the title, he just has to stay.

Life without him will be tough and I can see us having to go a couple of years without any real success. He's almost irreplaceable.

Pep's as important as Khaldoon and Sheikh Mansour.

Fully agree. We can’t find a pep replacement so no point trying. We need 2 years of calm & kompany demands authority. We should learn from what Utd have done since fergie left.

when pep goes it will be a damage limitation type scenario. We need a city leader & legend at the helm to steady things

We should learn from United and NEVER get teary eyed over an ex player.

We're in an unique position where we have time to get the right candidate, unlike normally when it's a quick job to replace a sacked manager.
 
He has the best job in football why would he won't to leave? Every other job is a step down and I just don't think he would like international football he likes the day to day involvement we got him at the best time he has been where he wants t have been I think he will be here for the next 5 years he just keeps everyone on there toes
 
If I was in the PR team and Pep has agreed to extend his contract. I would look at the right time to announce it.

It would be far too easy to do it straight after winning another title. (If we do)

It would have to be timed for me as pre season starts.

Other clubs will want the focus on them and their signings. I suspect we may have another fuck me signing we're keeping the lid on. That's when we launch the cannon.

Haaland, followed by the other "Fuck me how did we get him?!" Signing. Just as certain clubs and client journalist are spitting blood and bile Pep throws in a throwaway. "Guess what guy's, like my club I'm not going anywhere for a while yet." comment.
 
Think pep will leave if he feels burnt out or that he can't deliver us success say 2 trophyless seasons I think he will just walk away. He loves the competition in the premier league and has said multiple times that he has a near perfect working environment not much more the club can do. Can see him signing a rolling 1 year contract next year.
 
I hope he knows great players only get a statue after 10 years, managers need to stay for 20 for that!!!
 
I feel like he just doesn't want to negotiate or sign anything until the offseason so he can look at any deal with a clear mind.

I've said before, he seems to have all the resources he had at Barcelona with a fraction of the internal pressure. The players are elite, the fans idolise him.

One other thing we don't think about enough is his relationship with the people above him. They've been very patient over the UCL situation because there is a level headed sense of reason over the fact that winning it is takes a lot of things to go your way and knockout tournaments can be decided by a sharp twist of events. The UCL alone is not the goal, the goal is to always be in a position to win it whether we've won it 0 or 3 times.

When the same ideology and culture gets shared between upper management and coaching management, it's something football fans take for granted. Pep never has to coach with his job on the line because he knows the organisation has long terms plans so there is room to work with. There are teams that would have fired him after the 16/17 season and their fanbase would have called him a fraud. I saw some City fans do it.

If you start setting short term goals with high impact ramifications, you just become Man Utd. A team throwing wads of cash aimlessly at players with star name value (170m combined on Maguire and Pogba who both need to play in a 3 man setup so they can't even play together) and cycling through managers hoping for the next quick fix.

To be fair I don’t think any club would hire someone like Pep and sack them after one season.

Not even Chelsea would do that.
