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

If Pep is leaving at the end of next season surely this will have a massive effect on future transfer targets.
 


He's ready to take over. Thanks Joey?

He may be a twat...to be kind. However, he's put the work in, and manages in League 1.....which I have far more respect for, than pundits who have never managed or if they have (Shearer, Neville, Merson etc) proved to be absolutely shit, yet tell everyone how they should do it.
 
I agree that City would have beaten both teams. RM play in a micky mouse league. City wouldn't have won the league if getting to the CL final in my view. PL is much tougher than the Spanish league.

I prefer the pl over cl everytime. The CL is a hyped fa Cup just like the fa Cup its always the best team in the land that's wins it.
Play like we did against the scum last week and we wouldn't of beaten either of them.

What about the new club world cup next year. I'm sure he'll want to take City to that.
Would he? It’s theoretically possible that it might eventually become the premier club tournament but it won’t be next year. It’s possible that next year’s CL winners won’t be in it. If say Arsenal win the PL and Chelsea finish mid table, the tournament would be ridiculed for including Chelsea rather than Arsenal. It will be a hotch potch of teams rather than the best in the world.

It will be more prestigious than the existing tournament but nothing like as prestigious as the CL. Really the only thing it’s got going for it is lots of money.

If City win the CL next season would Pep really want to tarnish that achievement by then failing to win the CWC? If City don’t win the CL would Pep consider winning the CWC as anything more than a poor consolation prize? Would Pep really want to have to cope with the detrimental effect that playing in the CWC will have on our 25/26 season?
 
I'm certainly not in the know, but I just have a gut feeling Pep will extend. He understandably looks tired at the end of every season, but after a bit of down time and a break he's back up for the challenge (5 in a row and CL Pep - C'mon you know you want it!). He loves it here, loves the club, loves the challenge, is treated very well, and pretty much has autonomy in the decision making process. Obviously as each year passes, his leaving becomes ever closer. However, I wonder if he would be tempted to sign a rolling year contract which wouldn't tie him in for a number of years and instead give him the flexibility to decide at the end of every season.
 
I'd love to see the piss that would boil when the prayers of our rivals are finally answered and Pep finally goes, only for the new guy to come in and continue the success.
In a way, it's a poisoned chalice. If the new guy comes in and wins the PL, it'll be "well; Guardiola won 6 of them". That's why the Moyesiah was destined to fail at "The World's Greatest Club"™; he was following (like it or not) an outstanding manager. That last title they won; it was a bang average squad, but GPC got them over the line. Signing Van Persie helped, mind. Without him, they wouldn't have won it. See Moyes' first season, with pretty much the same squad?

I think the rolling yearly contract only works if he has a number 2 that takes over

Moyes was destined to fail because he was wank. Although it was an aging squad, Moyes' 'style' of play was the complete antithesis to the gpc's.
