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

[TheGhost]

Ha ha Harry maguire under pep

City wanted to sign him. Harry wanted to join City. United blew us out of water financially on both the fee and wages.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

All guess work innit. We dont know we just type what we would like to happen

I prefer to call it informed speculation. But of course Pep could change his mind at any time. The Pep stays on one more year was a solid rumour about six months ago and I have not heard any better theories since then. If I had my wish it would be for Pep to stay ten more years.

 

[manimanc]

take him to the decade and Amorim's contract up at Sporting the same summer..

I'm thinking the same.

Amorim in when Pep goes, Viana the 1st piece of the jigsaw for a new dynasty.

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

If Pep has decided he is leaving, the club would know and would currently be looking for his replacement.

If City were currently looking for the next manager, some agent/president/chairman of another club would have already leaked this to some reporter and we would all know.

The club can’t fart without it being in the news.

My advice would be to offer Pep’s wife a job in that Hospitality where they sell chicks expensive outfits/bags/shoes while the bloke watches the football.

Or just put a gun to his head and don’t let him out of the building til he signs

 

[Stelea]

I’m starting to feel like this might have legs.

How could they afford him.
They were paying Wastecoat 4m while Pep is on at least 20m

 

[MillisleBlue]

You could be forgiven for thinking that it's pure coincidence the PL recommences this coming weekend.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Just little fibs.

Niggles.

I think people should read the whole article.

Says Guardiola would take a pay cut

 

[Prophet of Doom]

No way Pep takes the England job for less than £10m a season - probably a lot more.

Can’t see how the FA can justify that when they are responsible for grass roots of the game and other international managers get paid poorly.

This whole situation is a bit of a piss take anyway. Love Pep but all this drama to feed his ego is a pathetic. Either sign a contract or let’s move on. Why all the drama which will now fill every press conference for the rest of the season.

Hit the nail on the head with the last paragraph

Hit the nail on the head with the last paragraph

Either that or 115, the press questions are very basic.

 

[TShed]

He could very easily put this to bed by just laughing it off makes no sense given the assumption once he’s done at City he’s done with living here. Just respond at his next news conference with hopefully a resounding not a chance of taking this job

16m?

It’s all because Pep went on an Italian chat show at the weekend and gave lots of cryptic answers.

EVERY City presser will now be full of England questions until his ego decides what job he announces to the world.

 

[Longballutd]

I think the whole England story is ridiculous. Not a hope he’d be interested

I actually think the bigger refresh may have been left to next Summer because we may have known Pep, and to some extent Txiki, were leaving after this season. No disrespect to Pep, but if the club knew of his intention to leave at year's end I can understand holding off on some of the bigger signings. The rebuild may have grown to a larger scale because of Pep's decision to leave. So, IMO, it's not at all a matter of would he want to take it on. If he were staying it would have started this past Summer...

Agree completely and another factor is the club WC in terms of Pep staying.

He will be in charge for that but it means he like the players will be only getting a very short break until the start of following season, for a man of such intensity that is not enough.

 

[Keeper!]

It was on here from Tolmie about six months ago. And I am sure it is correct. Pep will win the Club World Cup wth City and then do one more season. I am sure he wants to stay for the 115 victory party and the World Cup street parade and give us enough time to bed in a replacement. Ten years at City will be a hell of an achievement.

10 years from the best manager of his generation would be an incredibly testimony of us as a club but in saying that so would 9!!

Nobody and I would include Khaldoon in that could have believed he would stay as long as he has.

 

[Keeper!]

If they’ve approached him isn’t this tapping up?

Behave.

 

[vmsuhail]

Ten Hag did not inherit a squad remotely as good as ours...apples to oranges...

He didn't inherit great players, but he spend 500 million and still have a negative goal difference.

 

[Coatigan]

Tolmie is saying that Pep has told the club what his future is, if he is staying why delay the announcement of a new deal and stop the needless speculation?

I believe Pep over Tolmie on this one, sorry.
