Pep to leave at the end of the season

City Extra are now quoting a 'source' saying Pep is furious about the timing of the leak, and the players are in shock. This is not a good omen for the Bournemouth game in a few hours.
 
There was leaked footage at the Ethiad on the pitch of a shit load of trophies in a circle for a photo shoot, they said it was for Bernardo I have now a sneezy suspicion it was for Pep, this was before the fa cup final so they may have had two different versions filmed just in case.
 
That City extra tweet.

"Source".

Usually means whoever written hasn't got a fuckin clue.

Until something is officially said or a statement comes out then all this is just the usual social media bollocks of "I've been told.." and "a source close to the club".
 
Ah well, all good things come to an end. Interesting to see if this affects potential signings in the summer. Not really surprising as there have been so many ongoing rumours this season..one or two supposed ITK's and self-aggrandising individuals have got his one badly wrong.
Hope Maresca doesn't turn out to be our David Moyes.
Interesting as well the timing with Alonso going to Chelsea, presumably City did not make a move for him. If City officials knew in the last few months that Pep was likely to leave and Alonso was available then clearly, they have not approached him as their 1st choice was Maresca.

Which is precisely the point.

From the clubs perspective it’s probably the worst time for him to leave . World Cup year so no real pre season, Stones and Silva leaving, Rodri entering the last year of his contract and Foden not having signed his new contract . Bayern sniffing around Guardiol , Kovacic in the twilight of his career. Huge challenge ahead .

Yes, the timing is far from ideal. In a way, it helps justify the selection of Maresca as there would be continuity in terms of style of play and he will be comfortable in the club's environment.

I was hoping we would have one more year of Pep to help rebuild the midfield before he left.

I'm gonna need your help distributing the fanny wipes, mate!
 
It's all BS, Oli Holt in The Mail got some source from a Sponsor who but 2 and 2 together to make 5. No smoke without fire? maybe but the answer could be very different. It could be that Journalist spoke to a City sponsor who wound the journalist up with a few porkies. Until I see Pep say it or its on the City website, I don't believe it.

The media and city extra love this situation as they can literally make any story they want up and get clicks. I HIGHLY suspect that both the club and Pep knew there was a really big chance of the news leaking, so many people would have known about it. I doubt neither that Pep is furious nor that players are in shock

Yeah something seems off with that. Multiple sources that the Manc beat journos trust has been adamant he is going to the extent they have accepted it as fact while at the same time the players are being lied to their faces? It's dead odd.

Most of it stems from the pictures of the Bernie/Stones trophy tribute last week being misinterpreted.
 
My only potential issue with Maresca appoinment is inconsistency and consistent line up changes

tho, i don't know if that was request by Chelsea management to play that way or what. he made alot of line up changes and played young players
