And what, exactly, would it take to entice Pep to leave? What are we not giving him that he really, really wants. Enlighten me.

Well. The fact he's got less than a year left on a deal means he's, currently, more likely to leave than he is to stay. Regardless of context.

To humour you, though...signing a world class player who is not even at his peak yet would be a nice thing to put in front of Pep that he hasn't already got.
 
Pep doesn't go for long contracts, never has and said he never will.
To humour you haven't we got loads of world class players here? Many not yet at their peak? You're just another of those people who has a downer on City. Read the press and Pep's going so it must be true. Haaland is going to Real Madrid, Bernardo's going here there and everywhere, everyone's leaving .............BORING!!!!!!

Each year that passes means we are closer to the end of Pep. He might go next summer or he might not.

Pep always honours contracts, so he won’t sign until he’s 100% comfortable that he’s ready to stay for its duration.

It’s not having a downer on the club. It’s understanding that pep has never stayed at a club as long as he has here and we’re all in unchartered waters.

Anything can happen in football, but realistically where can Guardiola go next that offers him what he's already got at City, apart from sunshine?

Pep manages a football club in the toughest league in the world, where he's adored by the fans, feared by the opposition, fully supported by the owner & Chairman, & works hand in glove with his two best mates who've helped him build his dream squad, with an exciting generation of young talent waiting to explode on world football.

Why do City fans think Pep would leave all this behind, as long as he has the dressing room & the continued backing of those upstairs?

Where next? Dippers? ManUre? Chavs? ArseAnal? Spuds? I can't see it. He's already done Bayern & Barça so I find it hard to see him at Real, Atletico or Dortmund. How about Milan? Inter or Juvé? What about PSG? Personally, I can't see it.

Many say he wants to try his hand at international management, but can you really see Pep Guardiola only managing Nations League matches, & the world Cup & Euros every two years? And which nation? Spain? Brazil? England? Germany?

We should all have realised by now that Pep Guardiola was always Sheikh Mansour's masterplan, & everything at Manchester City was built & prepared for Baldy's eventual arrival. As Pep has always intimated, as long as the players & fans are with him, the management back him & he can keep bringing success to Manchester City, he's happy where he is.

Why & where could Pep possibly get what he's currently got in Manchester? We really need to stop wishing the worst on ourselves.

Sweeping, incorrect statement but that’s OK. I started with speculation about a player we’ve been linked with then fact about Pep’s contract. Obviously neither of which you liked which is fine.

FWIW, I think he’ll extend regardless - as I’ve said countless times - because why wouldn’t he…

…but Musiala signing would be the cherry on his decision making cake. In my opinion.

Pretty much this, its all up to Pep and Pep alone. No other factor will be key, everything is how he wants/needs to thrive, outside of his own mental/personal drive.

I noticed how fresh Pep looks & how pleased he seems since pre-season. He's got a smile on him that says a thousand words.

Seeing Bernardo bouncing up & down on the sidelines waiting to come on during the Community Shield was another encouraging sign. He growled & made a fist gesture as he gee'd up his team mates to get back into the match. His first act was to lead by example by clattering a Rag player, & his second was to score the equaliser.

After asking Pep what he needed to do to get back into the team, Grealish acknowledges he fucked up at the end of our treble season. As opposed to last summer, this pre-season he had a quiet holiday away with his family, & then started pre-season training early with a personal trainer in an attempt to put a poor season behind him, & it's working.

I didn't pay much attention to the England matches, but fans & pundits are all saying what many of us are calling for, & that's for Grealish to play centrally, to allow our tricky, skillful wingers to tear the arse out of the opposition.

Rico (Zico)! What more can I say. He's been a revelation since pre-season! He's grown up loads, & you can see he no longer looks like a star struck EDS lad. He's now a player who feels he's good enough & tough enough to play for the first team.

Pep went ballistic at the squad last season for not protecting & sticking up for Zico when opposition players kept clattering him, to upset his momentum. The squad have responded & Rico has become far smarter when faced with broken nosed, cauliflower eared hatchet men who're trying to take him out.

The signing of Kovacic made little sense to most of us a year ago, but since pre-season he's making City fans think the unthinkable of "Rodri who?". He's been absolutely stellar for us so far, hence why I reckon we've not bothered with a CDM to challenge, rest & rotate with Rodders.

KDB & Haaland look fighting fit & back to their very best & look up for the scrap, & Savinho has been a revelation on the right, mirroring the devastating Doku on the left. I'm gutted for Bobb, as he was the star player during the USA tour, but he'll be back.

Gundog returning was just the icing on the cake. We know what he brings, & he looks like he's never been away & brings a calm assurance, which beautifully knits our play together.

There's no way the likes of Bernardo & Pep haven't been given the inside track on Barça's woes by the likes of Gundog, Cancelo, Garcia & Torres. I think they all now realise which side their bread's buttered, hence our staff being more settled at the Etihad & not being interested in options being offered elsewhere.

Added to Echeverri's arrival in January, & talk of City's interest in Musiala & Wirtz why on fuckin earth would Pep Guardiola walk away from all this potential, at a club challenging for everything & providing him with the tools & environment he needs to succeed?

This is why I think Pep keeps himself, the management, the owner & the players on their toes by only signing two year extensions. This way, it's difficult for anyone to get too comfortable & take anything for granted.

We've already seen the mental meltdown of Teeth over at Klanfield, & now it's Arteta & Slot machine who're tasked with taking Pep down. If anything, Guardiola looks more up for the scrap than I've ever seen him & long may it continue.

As for City fans? Please stop thinking & talking about life after Pep, & just enjoy the master at work during City's golden era.

Ahhh, Maurizio Gaudino, I have a constant reminder of this fine footballer, a scar on my forehead when he scored at Goodison, a 50p piece it was, I was handed it by a fellow blue stood up behind me, Jesus it stung at the time………..Maurizio, Maurizio, Maurizioooooooooo….Gaudino
 
when was the last time we brought a player from these clubs ( Real Madrid, Barcelona ,Bayern , Spurs, Chelsea , Liverpool , Arsenal , Newcastle , Inter, Milan , Napoli , Juve , PSG)? and they really needed him at that moment?

Here we cannot count, for example, Kovačić
