Pep to leave at the end of the season

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 :'( "

Ric announced a couple of weeks ago and I and a few others had heard the same thing back then.

City record a tribute at the stadium to Bernardo Silva and John Stones which gets discovered and some media groups mistakenly believe this is evident of a Pep Leaving Tribute setup by the club, with many rival outlets all claiming the same thing that this was leaked by Puma accidentally.

The club denies the rumour, confirming it was for Silva and Stones, Pep himself denies the rumour yet rival rag media outlets continue to run with the non-story on the eve of City facing Bournemouth to take focus off the job at hand and now here we are.

I'd usually agree, but this feels different.

You’re too funny.

City play Bournemouth tonight, a game which, if we drop points, Arsenal become champions. I wonder how the press can disrupt the harmony at the club... oh look, it's working!

Hopefully, it may have the opposite effect. I've been thinking all week that I'd rather not play Bournemouth with Iraola leaving imminently as they'd be determined to send him off on a high.
 
If the press have leaked this in order to “disrupt” our league run in they’re stupid.

Will galvanise the club/players/ fans like nothing else and I can’t see anything but 6 points from the next two games now

Just got to hope for a miracle at Selhurst Park. Either way Arsenal winning the league will get less column inches and airtime as will have to share with Pep leaving

Maresca is entering this club under the most perfect conditions right now. He has enough of the treble winners and older experience left in the squad with Haaland, Dias, Foden, Rodri blended with a load of newer faces. There are enough newer guys that he can make the team his own and not have it feel like he's just got a Pep team. And he'll get Elliot Anderson who can be his Bernardo.

Pep has also instilled the winners mentality into the newer guys with two trophies this season (hopefully three by the end).

This club is just so incredibly well run. All the best Pep you legend.

Hear, hear. This day was always going to come. We're losing the best ever in Pep but I'm confident we're the best placed club to deal with something so momentous. Maybe not upwards but definitely onwards.

How? Feels the same to me.
This is like the third time they've tried it.

The only one who knows when Pep is going, is Pep. Just like the only ones who know the current status of the FFP charges is the panel.

Moyes tried to rid the Rags of GPC and his legacy. Luckily for us, the hard shoulder shitter and his mates linger like a bad smell still.

The thing with ferguson is he was a bit of a tactical chameleon, other than mainly using wingers I wouldn't say he embedded a footballing philosophy at united. Peps ethos is hard wired into the club now, right down to the youth and women's sides.

Maresca seems like a safe pair of hands. He's not a fool, he knows the players and they have won with him around. He's experienced the Championship with Leicester and dealt with a circus at Chelsea. I'm happy with it. I actually think Kompany would be a much bigger gamble. Arteta and Enrique sent him back to school when they played Bayern this season. And I'll never get that video of him completely losing his mind at the Burnley players out of my head. Enrique would have been my first choice.
 
Pep has changed football and is one of the all time greats, possibly the best. Having him at City has elevated us in terms of popular culture and casual newsworthiness. That he has lived up to his huge reputation football wise is an incredible sporting achievement. I could f***ing cry and probably will on Sunday.

That's my view as well.

5-0 win would make the Tarquin bumhole squeak. The Bourmnmouth players know we'll be more than up for it. Balls out for his last two games.

Rumours are he might yet be on the move to somewhere close by!

He might finally get the credit he deserves from the UK media. I emphasise the word might.
