Pep to leave at the end of the season

I apologize in advance because as my grammar and spelling have always been shite, but this has finally hit home for me. As the son of a mum who likes Arsenal (tbf she picked them because it annoyed my dad), my Dad who is a massive red and brother to a older red sister, being a City fan wasn't easy.
From Rosler to Goater, to Anelka to the king in Aguero and Finally Haaland. I like many of you have seen some shite and some beautiful football.
For me I picked this club because it got me and I got it. Winning was immaterial I just loved being a blue. Ball was a low pint, Royle a false dawn, but then came Keegan and for me he started to turn this big blue ship around, he dreamed big and saw the potential in us.01/02 as a 16 year old I thought it would never get better than that. Pearce lovely bloke shit manager 06/07 was a war of attraction. Sven loved him. Again Elano and Petrov I thought would be the pinnacle. Next Hughes less said the better. Next Mancini. My nickname at primary school was Mancini as 90s serie A was all the rage and Lazio had the same kit as us. I loved him, 2011 was unreal. My son was born 5/2/2011. That day the Rags lost their first league game of the season against wolves City beat West Brom, Tevez scored a hattrick on his birthday. My son will forever be my little Tevez. Being at wembley and beating them rag cunts. Just wow. Mancini ripping that banner down by beating Stoke! Bliss. Aguero 93.20 no words needed. Still got the scar on the back of my leg when I leapt 3 rows forward.
Pellerlgrini next and I'll be honest I never took to him, although he signed probably one of my all time favorite City players in Fernandinho. Always felt we won them 3 trophies in spite of Pellegrini not because of him.
And lastly and definitely not least the great man. And I'll hold my hands up when he came and Mourinho went to the rags I thought we'd got it wrong. However as is usually the case as im the most pessimistic City fan on the planet it was me who was wrong. And thank fuck I was. 16/17 wasn't great, but I remember beating Watford last game of the season and saying next year we will be the team to beat. 17/18 was beautiful and for me the most complete City performance beating Arsenal at the Emirates during the best of the east storm. Leroy's goal will live long in the memory.
Next 18/19 and for me the most entertaining City side of all time. Liverpool that year were a great side, just not as great as Pep and my beloved City. Fast forward to June 10th 2023. I got married that day, We also won the European cup, something a skinny lad from Farnworth could only dream about in the 90s.
And then to Pep the man. Thank you for fighting our corner. For every tedious press conference where they try throw sly digs at you. For every 115 defense you backed us to the hilt. I know your heart beats Barca, but you definitely now bleed blue and I l9ve you for it.
Pep I know you'll never see this, but im devastated you're leaving. You literally made dreams come true. I gave my season ticket up in 2013(worst mistake of my life), but I'll be there tomorrow with my son and a lump in my throat. Thanks Pep. Thank you Mister.
We've got Guardiola.....

Great post. I think many of us could copy and paste that and put in out as one of our own posts about experience of following city, kids and marriage (divorce) dates may change. The ups and downs will resonate with us over the age of 30.
Been an absolute rollercoaster supporting city, what next who knows, all part of the fun.
 
Still not sure I am quite ready for this.

There will be films, documentaries and books about what has been achieved over the past decade.

Time makes the legacy grow even stronger.

To know that our club, our players, our fans are such a big chapter in the story of one of the greatest people in footballing history makes me incredibly proud.

To have a stand in his honour, which we can call upon to help get us over the line when we need it is a privilege.

Thank you for everything Pep. You've exceeded our wildest dreams.

I'm ready.

If that helps you.

Yes I had one of those sleeps where you wake up every hour thinking you missed your next day flight, but consciously, I am ready.

I'll embrace the emotion, the memories, the impact it had on me and my own life, and just enjoy the living shit out of it today.

The one good thing about us being out of the race, I don't need to even once glance at the Arsenal game or score, which if it was coming down to the wire would have been on the radar. I can just focus fully on us and our heros. Might peek at the spurs score at half time ;)

I am positive about it all. They are giving us as good an ending as it can be, and what a decade.
 
Shit piece back page of today’s times saying how he’s lost his motivation and could no longer do the job he has done all based on his post match banter after the Everton game.
Headline “one season too far” yet a goal Tuesday night would have us playing for the title today plus err two cups.

You’re also a selfish bastard then that got married the same day as my best mate, the absolute wanker. To make it worse the fucker is a red, although he didn’t mind me telling him I was going to take a 3 hour break from the afters to get nestled in a pub.

Great post.

It's going to be a long emotional day esp for us early risers.
Monday will be odd, no longer being managed by Pep. Wonder when he will actually leave Manchester, physically I mean as he is obviously taking a piece of us with him.

He’s been quoted saying he be back in Barcelona on Tuesday! He’s 2 more sleeps in Manchester and that’s it

Gonna be a mad few days and upsetting
 
I’m fucking almost suicidal of the thought that pep is leaving. I will cry my heart out tonight in front of the tv.

So many bad thoughts are coming to me, comparison to both Arsenal when Wenger stepped down although they maybe already was on the way down on his last years but still and United when Sir Alex left, I really hope that is not our case.

Knowing we had the greatest manager in the history always calmed me down, knowing he and the board will always solve the problems, knowing pep knew what players we needed to get his team working he and the good relationship with Kaldoon and the others made great result.

Good thing Kaldoon are still here, Hugo Vianna for me has done some good signings and some bad but seems good
I really hope the board will stand by Maresca
Even if I don't know much about his style of play, (if it now will be him as it now seems) but if Pep says he is good I trust that.
He will get shit, many will compare to Pep I hope the board show him trust and faith

But can't put in to words for Pep guardiola I will miss him tremendously 35 years supporting city has been a rollercoaster ride from Niall Quinn who got me supporting city,
Untill now.

Pep and city have made me living a dream in 10 years not Many people get to this in their lifetime so from the bottom of my heart thank you Pep Guardiola thank you City for making me living the dream for 10% of my life if I get 100years (propobly not)

Good luck Pep wish you all the best

Yea mate, booked it 18 months in advance. My best man was also devastated as he's a blue. To really top it off my stag do was in Benidorm and was the week of Madrid at home. Our greatest ever european performance and I couldn't remember any of it apart from Alvarez's goal. I genuinely woke up thinking wed won 1-0 at the death.

Which is why he should tell the FA to fuck off if approached about the England job . The disrespect from the media has been disgraceful. Real football people in this country and the world know how great a manager he’s been , wankstain journalists can go fuck themselves .

I’d like to run across the knob this afternoon and give him a piece of my mind.
David Walsh.Last time I read a word he writes.
 
I have King of the Kippax tattooed on my chest

Just had the King of the South Stand tattooed on my arm

But today I say goodbye to the King of Manchester City

I will find a space for the great man’s tattoo but he already as a space in my heart

once a blue always a blue
 
I've read in recent days that Pep may have a beer with Neville and Carragher before he leaves. Well, I hope this does not happen because the two of them have continually sniped about 115 in their factless monologues and public debates. They don't deserve one minute of his presence.

And Klopp...apparently Pep's going to have a glass of wine with him. Klopp is the manager that publicly questioned the sources of Man City's money. Plus, he invited all bin dippers to his house if any of City's titles are given to Liverpool due to 115.

Pep has so many real friends he doesn't need to socialise with low life.

Wouldn't expect anything less from the morons who call themselves journalists.

The league cup and FA Cup double has been done twice by Liverpool and once by Arsenal and Chelsea. It's an incredible achievement and an unmotivated Pep still makes history.
 
I've just read a couple of articles in the Times by Martin Samuels and Paul Hirst eulogising about Pep's achievements. i think I'm gonna do another season so folk can't accuse me of fuckin' off when Pep goes, but at the end of the season is the club gonna buy me a blue Bentley, the same gift Txiki got when he left?

I didn't sleep well at all once the news broke Monday night. I was certain he would stay.

Since the official announcement it has helped, there's no uncertainty any more.

The best occasion would have been for today to be lifting the title, with it already wrapped up but as you say, it's good the game is a dead rubber so he can take his deserved applause.

It's going to be special. I don't think he knows just what he means to us, and today is going to be one hell of a day for him and his family. Saying bye to Bernardo and Stones was going to be emotional enough, it's going to be an incredible day at the Etihad.
