Pep to leave at the end of the season

youngbob said:
For me tonight is a win-win.

If we lose or draw then we can go into Sunday stress-free, knowing that the day will be all about Pep, Bernardo, and Stones, all before a big party on Monday celebrating the cup double and the success of City Women and U18s.

If we win tonight then we go into Sunday with a chance of the title, knowing we've already got the cup double under our belts and knowing that we were in the title race until the very final day. What will be will be really.

Both options are appealing to me.

And we've at least denied those twats the chance to win it/lift it at home. Not winning tonight has the added bonus of them winning it without playing which, as we know from 2018, 2021 and 2023, is never anything like as good.

I rate Maresca highly. You only have to look at the shitshow Chelsea became after he left. And we all know their owners are a basket case behind the scenes. Stockpiling players he didn't need. Not signing the ones he wanted. Telling him who he can and can't play. He wasn't sacked, he walked.

He'll be coming into a well oiled machine. And if it is in the Championship, he knows how to get out of that as well. ;)

Chelsea fans are incredibly angry with their club for letting Maresca go. They loved him and since he left they became horrendous.
 
All the news about how it was leaked, and that i was following it here whilst watching the Arse game... then 2nd half the commentator announces it matter of fact.

Day before a tough game on a day when Arse scored yet another impressive 1-0 win v. a relegated side... Emirates concessions had to do their usual shift from pints of lager to cups of Imodium and Pepto.

Seems sketchy to me but that's not helping anything.

Pep Guardiola: Manchester City's 115 Premier League charges and a legacy that could be rewritten

With Pep Guardiola expected to leave Manchester City at the end of this season, how do the club's 115 Premier League charges for alleged financial rule breaches potentially affect his legacy at Etihad Stadium?

I see BBC I ignore. Lowest of the low. Compared to them, Sky and others are pro-City channels. That's how bad it is.

And if the players didn't know, damaging.

Chelsea to launch legal complaint over Man City’s Enzo Maresca pursuit​

Stamford Bridge club unhappy with the effect Italian’s abrupt departure had on their season which could result in no European football

Chelsea are shaping up for a legal battle with Manchester City over their putative appointment of Enzo Maresca, who left Stamford Bridge in contested circumstances at the start of the year.
With Pep Guardiola expected to leave City after a decade in charge, the first choice to replace him is the Italian who departed Chelsea abruptly earlier this season. Although the terms of that split have never been commented on publicly by either side, the allegation that Maresca had told Chelsea’s ownership that he was in talks with City has not been disputed.
The expectation is that Chelsea will seek compensation from City, with the added threat of disclosure about the terms of Maresca’s departure from Stamford Bridge, and the events in the months leading up to it. Neither club have commented on the situation.
For any action to be brought against City it is understood that a complaint would have to be made by Chelsea to the Premier League, which would then be obliged to investigate under the terms of its own rules.
It is expected that the legal case Chelsea have in that regard will unfold when, as expected, Maresca is appointed by City. That announcement may take some time given the significance of Guardiola’s departure. Maresca, 46, has said nothing in public since his Chelsea departure at a time when the club were fifth. Although Chelsea have not confirmed, it is understood that there was no major compensation pay-out to the Italian.
Chelsea had started to fall away this season in the final weeks leading up to Maresca’s sacking on Jan 2. The team were on a run of just one win in seven Premier League games with suggestions from inside the club that all was not well. By the end, his position was considered untenable by the club.

Maresca’s record at Chelsea​



It culminated in him skipping post-match media duties following a draw with Bournemouth. Before that run of poor results, Chelsea had been in second place in the Premier League and there remains considerable disquiet at the club that the Maresca departure undermined their season. The arrival of Liam Rosenior as Maresca’s successor did not work out as Chelsea would have wished and the club is currently on its fourth managerial appointment of the season.
City have been obliged to plan at different points over recent years when it looked like Guardiola might be wavering in his future. There have been times in the past when they have looked closely at lining up another assistant of his, Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager currently in pole position to win the Premier League this season.
Maresca is well-known to City Football Group, having been part of the City staff on two occasions – one year in charge of the club’s Under-23s in 2020-2021 and then as a first-team assistant to Guardiola in the 2022-2023 season.
He was appointed by Chelsea as the Championship-winning manager of Leicester City in the summer of 2024. He won the Uefa Conference League in his first season and then the Fifa Club World Cup, having studiously avoided any controversy. The relationship with Chelsea broke down in a relatively short space of time. After the win over Everton on Dec 13, Maresca said that he had experienced “the worst 48 hours” of his career – interpreted as a direct attack on Chelsea and its BlueCo ownership.
That was later understood to be around the issue of return to play for injured players. Nevertheless, it was interpreted on some sides as deliberately provocative.
Without a win in their last seven Premier League games, Chelsea play Tottenham Hotspur at home on Tuesday night currently out of the European places in tenth position. The club have appointed Xabi Alonso and his coaching team to take over in the summer. City play Bournemouth when only a win will keep the title race alive.

Clutching at straws or totally made up
Although under FA rules approaching a manager of another club my bet is that like players its done all the time I dont see any civil legal problems for City although there maybe clauses in Maresca's contract
It would all be informal seeking if he has any interest so that they dont waste their time if he hasn't In the end he left and becomes a free agent and no one cant stop him seeking employment To claim that they lost financially due to poor on field performance would be difficult to prove
 
If this story is true, I reckon Pep knows the outcome of the 115. I'm sure he wouldn't leave if we were guilty, it would give those twots in the media, etc, a chance to slag him off for going. So I think we are innocent of all the major charges, and maybe they'll invent non cooperation just to give everyone an excuse to carry on slagging us off.

I don't think Pep leaving has an relevance of the 115. For all we know, we may still be waiting for another year or so, nobody knows despite it being "imminent" for over a year now.
