Pep to leave at the end of the season

find it hard to imagine that he’d leave with such short notice tbh, i think he’s staying. why wouldn’t you give the fans a few months at the very least? iknow it may be a distraction but just don’t see it. also there’s a young talented squad he’s assembled i’d argue he’d want to see at least another season with these guys
 
The way he's talking sounds like he will be here next season.....Now on to the business of beating Everton and putting the shits up the Tarques.

Claims in the twittersphere now circulating that Maresca is in discussions with Fenerbache. First Napoli, then this, for a manager with one of the biggest jobs lined up and agreed for months, he gets about.

Could of course be total bollocks. But then, so could the claims re us.

Top journalist in Turkey so that adds more smoke




One of Fenerbahçe's presidential candidates met with Technical Director Enzo Maresca. Maresca said he will meet with Manchester City after Pep Guardiola and that he is waiting for that.



I think Maresca has reached a preliminary agreement with City for after Pep...

Based on what Ric posted.

We’ve not always seen eye to eye but he’s a top blue and someone I’d completely trust with giving information on.

Fair response, and of all the things i've seen, that would be one I would be inclined to believe more than any other. If I was to believe any, which I don't, but I do leave room for.

Ric had however shared things before which sometimes turned out not to materialise, so it is only as good as what has been told to him and by no means definitive.

And yes I admit a part of that is coming from my own basic unwillingness to accept it. But the largest part is just my opinion on what I see from Pep's demeanour and what he has been saying. Coupled with the number of times we have seen this exact script.

Could be claimed he’s so relaxed now that his decision to go is made that he finds it easier to pull the wool over the eyes of the press pack, seems a stretch though.

That feels like you are looking for ways to justify wanting to believe the rumours.

Imo if you have reached an agreement like that, and he is as City through and through as some posters make out, you don't go out there speaking to other clubs or letting such links come out.

Possible that a few months ago the club would have sounded him out in case Pep leaves and that has now reached more people or is simply being echoed more. But the fact Maresca is reported as speaking to ither clubs suggests that eventuality of Pep possibly deciding to leave early, has gone nowhere.

One thing’s for sure, all will be revealed soon! As I said in the other thread there’s zero way that City don’t know yet, the least of our internal expectations will have been a yes/no before now.

Reading between the lines a bit, seems to be that Viana has made a contingency plan because there's a chance Pep could leave. That plan is Maresca. But so far it's not been activated which means that Pep hasn't made a decision.
 
I wonder if Maresca (if, indeed, it is to be him) would be willing to become assistant for the last year of Pep's contract in order to get to know the players and vice versa. A handover season seems like a useful and innovative idea to me.

Maybe, but I'd argue that no decision is a decision not to leave. Or that he has indeed made the decision and is staying. Hence Maresca looking for other jobs.
 
My take is if we win the league he will possibly retire. If not I just feel with his body language he will go full tilt for one last champions league/premier league next year.
I wasn't for Maresca but he knows the club, knows how we play so less averse to it now.
See you at the Ev later

Strange take considering I ended it with “seems a stretch though”. I just don’t expect @Ric to post what he did unless he was 100%.

Shades of grey. Ric said he has no reason not to believe the person who told him. I have no reason not to believe Ric. But I currently also don't believe Pep is leaving before his contract runs out, and I don't believe the speculation in the media. Nothing has to be 100%. One way or the other.

You'd also think that if Maresca was as good as some on here have been starting to make out over the past few days, that if he wasn't already signed to City then he'd be having conversations about bigger jobs than Fenerbache. With all due respect to Fenerbache.

For the players his squad? Maybe Man City are just planning that he will go and all the media certain “in the know” getting the message from people at city who have seen this behind the scenes and take it a he is defiantly going!!?

Just maybe now he has changed his mind! Wants to stay longer or at least next season!

One thing no one knows what Peps thinking intention, just maybe he wakes up one day right am staying!
 
He’s staying

No one has any sources good or close enough to the decision makers , it all sounds like tittle tattle from within the club to me

Where are the articles committing this to print, because no one definitely knows

He’s has been unequivocal when asked directly over the last few weeks
