9 posts in to what should be a positive thread and you have to do that. Hope I'm not the only one to call you out on it
Well forgive me for not feeling all that positive about Pep's management but his judgement call to bring in Bravo is looking more costly by the game!

Great news. You don't build something of the scale we're after in 20 weeks, it will take a few seasons IMHO to build the squad to one he is happy with.
God says you are wrong on this and stop walking around naked you will get arrestedWhat about the same fuck you to the long term fans?
This is at completely the wrong time and without getting into what he did at Barca and Bayern, what's written in a book and what he should be doing, what have I somehow missed in the time he's been here that merits this? Factual answers only please, not blind optimism and God, do I want to be wrong on this.
So far, with the odd exception, the lack of the Emperors' new clothes is what I see.
Which begs the question, why didn't they build the team in preparation for his arrival then (instead of leaving him with an ageing squad)?
Well kdb sterling stones and gundogan was a start but you cant change the whole team in 1 window, plus players on high wages will be gone in the summer

Have to agree with you FI.As much as it pains me I feel we may not reach the CL this year and perhaps in his heart of heart Pep knows that.We`re still in with a shout but for me we are a million miles behind Chelsea and Spurs in the way that they attack at speed.As you say it will be a fucking wonderful summer to look forward to.It would be very interesting to hear how the hierachy now view the rest of this season?
Are they content to take a hit? a season of transition? or is the chequebook coming out in the next few days?
I suspect it will be a mental summer.

It's good news for me because I was scared he would walk away with all the media bile and the weird way we are treated by f.a. and refs :-)

Won ten games on the spin?
Battered Barcelona?
Battered The Shite at Old Trafford?
Outclased Arsenal after going a goal down?
Revitalised the careers of Silva and Yaya?
Got Sterling playing the best football of his life?
Signed the most promising South American teenager in the world which every club in Europe wanted?
Signed Germany's most exciting young player?
Signed one of the best midfielders in the world for £20m
Binned off Wilfried Bony?
But yeh, other than that, what have the Romans ever done for us?

I'm glad to hear it. He needs long enough to bring on some of the youngsters and have success with them. Would have thought a two year extension would be the minimum. I for one would like to see an acceleration of bringing on the best youngsters even if it means finishing outside top 4. A season building outside the Champions League wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if we could see sustained improvement in performance. Bring in Garcia and Jesus this year and I would start to blood Angus Gunn.

Disappointing as he has been to date, I'm sure most Blues will welcome this. We'll maybe have to adjust our initial expectations, although that won't stop the moaning. But why should it?

Great News - Txiki needs to pull his finger out and start getting him the tools he needs and get rid of the tools he doesn't
Expect him to sign an extension to his contract this summer.
Pep is being backed to the hilt.

Haha didn't mean it to sound so negative! What i meant is it will take longer than the 3yrs to get to where Pep thinks we should be before he leaves.OFFS !!

Long term fan here, absolutely thrilled.
This is at completely the wrong time
It's being leaked by an ITK, not announced by the club, but sure, whatever suits your agenda.
and without getting into what he did at Barca and Bayern,
Conveniently ignoring his past accomplishments which may provide both precedent for his abilities and incentive for the club to want him? OK.
what have I somehow missed in the time he's been here that merits this? Factual answers only please, not blind optimism and God, do I want to be wrong on this.
What have you missed?
1. He's been here half a season.
2. The squad is largely the same as Pellegrini's, which was largely the same as Mancini's. Only a year older and a year less likely to adapt to a new style of play.
3. Pep was never a short term plan and the club has bought into him 100%.
4. Everything @Shaelumstash said.
So far, with the odd exception, the lack of the Emperors' new clothes is what I see.
Oh do bore off, it's pathetic that people are saying this shit after only half a season.
Thankfully the club and it's wonderful owners aren't so foolish as to throw away the chance to seal up the best coach in football for the long haul as you would be.

That sort of rational big picture thinking won't get you anywhere.
