Possibly but they said on the radio look at his record he’s never done more than 18. months without it all going tits up somewhere, plus if he doesn’t win WC bath parties can go superheated ways, if he wins it then extend him.I think you might be onto something here.
Not as set in stone though, Tuchel always signs 18 month deals. If he’d have wanted 3 years the FA would’ve given it to him.
I'm desperate for a Pep extension, he's the best manager to ever do it in England and every moment is to be cherished.
But I do wonder if a year extension kicks problems down the road. The squad probably needs a refresh the size of Pep's first two years here, but it doesn't make sense to do that when Pep is leaving in a year. All we will hear for another season is question about Pep's contract.
There's part of me that wonders whether it needs two years and a promise of building a new squad rather than another year.
Hopefully he signs until about 2028 and Pep stays with us until then.He's also in talks to extend.
If there was no chance why has he had contact with the fa and apparently took 2 months to make a decision?
He wants to be an international manager and he loves living in England. It will be between Brazil, England and Argentina imo. I think England land him personally as it’s the best job (unless tuchel wins the World Cup).
The players don’t not deserve him (if that makes sense?).England don’t deserve him. They can fuck off.
Exactly, so many if, what’s and maybes.Possibly but they said on the radio look at his record he’s never done more than 18. months without it all going tits up somewhere, plus if he doesn’t win WC bath parties can go superheated ways, if he wins it then extend him.
They've broken far more experienced managers than AlonsoWe don't want Alonso going anywhere near the rags, he is far too good for them.

CFG group managerI can't imagine for a minute that Guardiola could work with the FA. The FA is a political organisation more than anything, it would drive him crazy. If he wants international football, there would be better opportunities where the weather is better and where he would be left alone, if you ask me.
Assuming he wants international football at this stage in his career at all, when he can still give so much to club football, real football.
Klopp becoming "group" coach at Red Bull may give some indication of where these good managers get their next challenge.

I think the pitch of training under Pep for two years is an easier sell to Europe's elite players, and the hierarchy releases some of the transfer kitty to Pep under the condition that the new DoF is signing players for both Pep and the next fella whoever it is.I don't get what the 'problem' is.
We don't sign players on year long contracts so don't see what differenc one or two years of Pep makes.
You are right in that a year means a quicker return of speculation. But I think everyone at the club and the fans should all be robust enough to ignore that.
I think both those things are a lot more fluid myself, and the draw for playing for City is pretty big in itself.I think the pitch of training under Pep for two years is an easier sell to Europe's elite players, and the hierarchy releases some of the transfer kitty to Pep under the condition that the new DoF is signing players for both Pep and the next fella whoever it is.
I think ultimately the question of whether Pep wants to rebuild the midfield is a question that needs asking if he stays on, but I'm happy for him to squeeze another year out of what he has with maybe one new player. Just think there's an inevitable risk that comes with that.
For sure. I don't think we'll have our cap in hands but I do think these questions are questions agents will be asking for the elitist of elite names, which I think we need one or two of in the coming years.I think both those things are a lot more fluid myself, and the draw for playing for City is pretty big in itself.
Exactly mate!Yeah its not the worst situation to be in is it.
Wasn't Gundo's contract length set as a year + a year if he met certain games played criteria? Probably almost reached that mark already.And Walker's and Gundogan's.
You sign for the club not the manager. Any good agent would be advising his player that.For sure. I don't think we'll have our cap in hands but I do think these questions are questions agents will be asking for the elitist of elite names, which I think we need one or two of in the coming years.
Agree but if an elite player has options which they will, Pep as manager is a huge pull and a massive advantage.You sign for the club not the manager. Any good agent would be advising his player that.
Look at all the elite clubs in Europe over the last 10 years, the turnover in managers has been ridiculous. We’ve been lucky to have stability, which doesn’t seem like the norm in modern day football.
A manager like Pep is the icing on the cake.

If Pep extends his contract I think Gundo will joining the backroom staff next season.Not sure. I suppose he will play plenty as he is Guardiola's go-to guy.
