Pep to leave at the end of the season

[Metal Biker]

Right wing..........

The 'Daily Mail' isn't a right wing stance newspaper in your eyes?

Ok.

Do you think Puma leaked it? They are with Pep and I’m sure they will do some sort of big cat video

Indeed

Article from Gaughan that details things about more.

Not to be pedantic, but it is vitamin D not C. And it was the 4th not 3rd in a row.

Otherwise, a fun enough read, but ultimately a load of colouring in.

The club hasn't announced it
Pep hasn't announced it
Enzo hasn't announced it

But a right wing rag says it's certain.

Bluemoon; "Farewell Pep :'( "

So you don’t think it’s happening?

 

[shemnel]

There’s going to be a sharp upturn in Kleenex sales across Greater Manchester on Sunday that’s for sure

Is Emmanuelle on Channel 5?

edit: oh right yeah, Pep.....

Andrei Kanchelskis?

 

[Metal Biker]

I remember a couple of months back when the journos 'leaked' that City had lost the FFP case, too.
The fanny-wiping on here was unbearable.

By the way, do City happen to be playing a very important match in the title race tonight?
What convenient timing to 'drop' a story like this, eh?

Andrei Kanchelskis?

Memphis Meat Pie?

Knowing City they probably ordered a bespoke farewell card off MoonPig and that’s how it got out.

Do i think he'll leave one day? Yes.

Is Emmanuelle on Channel 5?

14 yr old watching that film at the Levenshulme flea pit. Great memories!

Perhaps Howard Webb has told Pep who is going to win the PL next season so he's pissing off rather than wasting his time.

Rags already given it as a tribute to GPC

 

[its a Barm]

Can't believe the club wouldn't give the fans more time to get use to it and plan a fitting tribute to the greatest manager ever

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

It all feels a bit worse this morning with the media reporting it everywhere. I get that sickly feeling watching all the reporters having to say nice things about his achievements having largely ignored them for a decade.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Do i think he'll leave one day? Yes.

Hahaha, that’s one hell of a pearl of wisdom. Bravo.

 

[Metal Biker]

Hahaha, that’s one hell of a pearl of wisdom. Bravo.

I understand that for some people common sense can be a difficult concept to grasp.

 

[the plasterer]

I honestly thought Pep would stay for next season, seeing the new team he has built flourish, one last push at a champions league, gutted he's going, but on the plus side, it's lovely and sunny here in Prague so I'm off to get fuckin steamin to drown my sorrows, watch the match tonight through my drunken dreary eyes

 

[kupest]

Txiki, Pep, Stones, Bernardo, KDB...my heart cant take more. Rodri/Dias/Soriano the only "old guy" left from the greatest era of this football club.

I think the stype of play with Maresca is going to be fun.

 

[blue whippet]

I dont know if Maresca really is an elite manager, I guess time will tell.
But he took a Chelsea team, which lacked experienced players and was the youngest in the league by some margin, with no quality CBs or strikers, to top4 and a club World Cup win, beating PSG in the final with 3-0.

Pep leaving leaves the future somewhat uncertain, but one thing thats comforting is that if you look at his previous clubs as a manager, none of them became worse when he left. If anything, it looked like the philosophy and principles he had implemented was there to stay even after he left. Us getting a manager who shares Peps philosophy and has learned by the man himself should hopefully mean we will continue playing "the Pep way" rather than fall off.

A nice positive post.

 

[TinFoilHat]

I hope the club give him a wonderful tribute, and when the dust is settled, Pep does an interview burning the Premier League down. Proper scorched earth with Khaldoon's approval.
