Can i be the first to say 'fuck off with this shit'.
He's been here 6 months or so and has still got some players that let Mancini & Pellegrini down, he couldn't clear the whole squad out so has had to do it a bit at a time.
Major changes this summer, if not earlier and then we can start to judge him.
After seeing us v Barcelona, arsenal, rags and 60 minutes v Chelsea says we'll be better than fine once he's got in the players he wants.
It's in the thread title ;')
Ah that sounds better.Now I agree with you. ;)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.
He's underperforming. No question about that. Results and performances do not lie. We've gone backwards.
His immediate job (in August) was to look at what he had and make that work. He has failed to do that (compare him with Conte).
It's too early to give up on him (obviously). I hope he gets it right. If he doesn't, lets cut our losses and get Simeone.
No room for sentiment here. Fail. Go. Move on.
Expect him to sign an extension to his contract this summer.
Pep is being backed to the hilt.
You're posting in the wrong thread. The club is backing him to the hilt, he will extend, stay and doubtless be very successful. Sorry.
With the possibility of being out the champions league next season will the top players want to come?
Lets hope Pep can use his charm.
Let's also hope we get new scouts too.
must say though its a waste of time giving him time and money if he hasn't got the balls to drop players that are so obviously out of form. you don't get the time in the prem to "come good". every player needs to be at the very top of their game from the off.
Long term fan here, absolutely thrilled.
It's being leaked by an ITK, not announced by the club, but sure, whatever suits your agenda.
Conveniently ignoring his past accomplishments which may provide both precedent for his abilities and incentive for the club to want him? OK.
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.
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.
The second, possibly, the first definitely won't be happening.Good let's hope also Joe is brought back and Bravo is sold too.
