Pre season will be 'Donna' plus kids/reserves, rest will be having a break after the World Cup. Not much time for him to train any new tactics/prep etc
 
I've always wondered what Peps ideal pre season would be if we didn't do the commercial money generating games.
Would he play any pre season games?
Would we go to a camp abroad?
Or would we just train at the campus and just play internal games behind closed doors
One Summer at Bayern, Pep was allowed to plan his own pre-season. They played 11 pre-season games and all of them were in Europe, 9 were in Germany, including a tournament we played in against them at the Allianz.

all big commercial jobs to bring regional fanbases in. Can't blame them
 
We should have more jocks in the squad if we want friendlies near the end of the W.C
 
Have to be honest, I find fans who have no connection with the area annoying. So, they don't have access to top football. Too bad. Support their local team. "Supporting" two sides is nonsense.

Yes; I know people will accuse me of hypocrisy, given where I live. The big difference is that I spent my first ten years on Claremont Road (near the corner with Broadfield Road). Anyone on here who's familiar with Moss Side will be aware how near that is to Maine Road. I feel like I have a connection with the club. A lot (not all, by any means) of these overseas fans would have a job finding Manchester on a map. But I suppose being a successful team will attract gloryhunters. It's what we've given the rags plenty of stick for down the years. C'est la vie, as the Germans would say.
You must be fun at parties! I have been a City fan since NBC started showing games in the USA in 2011. And I don't need your permission! Now go complain about the loud kids outside.
 
I will be there also, might try and wait and see what other games are announced before I commit.
Yes, Im the same, not going all that way and struggling with the heat/humidity for one game.

Hoping if I go I can get to Shenzhens game the same day, CFG club, getting well over 20k crowds.

For once I agree with something the Rags have done looks decent that.
