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

[Prophet of Doom]

Pep is doing exactly the same what he did in his last year at Bayern. Fucking around and causing chaos which will leave a sour taste when he leaves.

2 year contract signed ( even if the plan is to fuck of in 12 months ) or we have to look at options.

 

[Withnail]

The uncertainty and speculation on his future is going to ramp up over the next few months. We need this resolving one way or the other asap so the club can plan for the future.

What a bunch of wet wipes

Why’s that?

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

There will be no Decision on peps future until after these charges, its obviously linked. How can he make a decision when he may not fancy managing in league 2 as media would have us believe

I'd rather he extended than goes - the guy is an absolute genius and still the best coach in the world. I do think he's struggling a bit this season, and the performances are a mix of him/injuries, but he'll do what he always does & figure it out.

Regardless of him staying/going, I think the decision to sign players in January should be made by the DoF etc and not have to be mindful of Pep's desire for a smaller squad.

Hasn't it been around this time of year each time he's extended?

Exactly this. There will be no announcement until after the verdict and it’s hard to blame him for waiting tbh.

Five points off the top of the league with a long way to go.

Why’s that?

[Fordyboy46]

It really is the elephant in the room this situation. My gut instinct is that the players already know his decision and he's calling it a day after the summer tournament. I'm expecting news in this international break

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

He may be waiting to see if this team still wants to play for him. It's at least possible. He'll know by December, for sure.

The obvious flaw in that argument is that in all likelihood the panel won't deliver a judgement for several months. If they wait for that then the club has no chance of getting a top level replacement if he's off.

Imagine a pitch to Alonso, Nagelsmann or whoever along the lines of 'We don't know if Pep will leave or not but if he did would you be interested in being our new manager?'

Edit

Obviously you can turn that round by saying that a pitch to potential replacements as above wouldn't be great if it was 'We don't know if we will start next season in the Premier League or the North West Counties League but are you interested in being our new manager?' :)

Exactly. How can people not see this. How can the man make a decision if he doesn't know the outcome of case

The 115 Brigades mission is falling into place. Even if they lose they win because they have tarnished the brand and diminished the achievements. The longer they drag it out the more we bleed.

 

[city2]

Maybe because the team had set a new record in winning Pep now wants to see how it feels to lose 10 on the bounce

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Hanging over us like a bad fucking smell.

He’s giving us the Bayern vagueries.

Think he’s gone in summer and players know it.

Just wish they’d tell us so we can try to rebuild.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

There's some depressing fuckers on here but, this time the fanny wipes could be right.

End of the best era of any team ever.

Let's go again!!!!

So, if they tell “us” - how would it help the club rebuild??

If city loose big they will appeal could drag on till season finished.

If city loose big they will appeal could drag on till season finished.

An appeal seems to be an unlikely option for either side according to our legal experts but if there was one it wouldn't be decided before the end of the season
