Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

Good news if true. However to be out of the title race at the start of January and in a battle for 4th given all the fan fare is very disappointing. This is no better than Pellegrini's final season in parts.
One can't help but feel that the hierarchy have under planned and Pep himself has under planned for this season and all have made some errors. Problem he is too stubborn to recognise/remidy and we've got a clown for a goalkeeper and a somewhat of a Dad's army team. Lets hope we are better next season but everyone has a right to be a little disappointed thus far.

We are averaging 2 points a game in the league and are 3 points off 2nd.

Its hardly the disaster you and others are making out and but for an incredible Chelsea run, something we cant do anything about it would be tight as fuck at the top and we would be sitting pretty.

Yes its frustrating seeing us lose games of football and yes, we should be performing better and more consistently but its not the disaster you make it out to be.

Pep is going nowhere thank fuck and will be here for a long time yet and during that time i will take any bet you want right now and that is we will go on to be the best club side in world football.

Expect him to sign an extension to his contract this summer.

Pep is being backed to the hilt.

Excellent.....

was this always going to happen or is it a reaction to something (i.e. realising its a bigger job that previously thought, loving it here and our owners?)

The club clearly disagrees.



OK. You are negative.



Oh dear:

Arsenal post match thread





Sounds pretty negative after a game we came from behind to win.

You also posted in the Liverpool, Leicester, Barcelona post match threads, all of them negative. Does someone else have access to your account?



And?

I suppose, as a Blue, you feel it's proper to jump on the pile too, right?



"I wish him well, but he stinks and I hope he wants away because I'm thinking about replacing him with Simeone at the end of the season"



Evidence? What evidence?

You've given me half a fucking season, nothing more. Meanwhile, you've ignored everything from arguments about the squad (aging, declining in overall performance), to length of time it takes to adapt to Pep's style (minimum a year to be expected), to his accomplishments in the past. Who is the one being blind here?



Thank God.

But it kinds of helps to convince if you look at what he has done.

It was quite obvious last season that the team was struggling. We were absolutely taken to the cleaners in quite a few games. We spent the Summer chasing central defenders and ended up with Stones which so far has been an unmitigated disaster. But he is very very young, and everyone can see there is a good footballer there. Missing out on Laporte and seeing Kompany struggle with injury is possibly the difference between City challenging for the title and struggling for 4th

If it happens, I would guess both may be true. I think it could well have happened anyway at some point. But seeing the job close up has made him realise the size of the job but made him more determined to see it through and prove himself, and pushed him to commit sooner than he would have done if it was plain sailing, when he may have thought he could acheive what he wants in the three years.
 
Really hope this is true because his record and achievements are amazing not just in trophies but in really helping reshape thinking and tactics. Some of the football this season has been awesome but at others we've looked no better than last season so time is going to be needed.
But in this day and age we have to be careful. For me CL is crucial for the profile and the owners do really hope we can make it.
Not a disaster if we don't but if we're out for any length of time as the rebuilding takes place others will get stronger

The worst thing that happened was that winning run at the start of the season. I was bracing myself for a tricky season - battling for 4th place again was my prediction - but after the start we got, everyone put the blinkers back on and started to forget the warning signs from the last two seasons.

The poor planning is evident, and I'm not impressed with that and the lack of youth opportunities, seeing as Pep is only on a 3 year deal and could now be off just as we start getting back to where we need to be. What a waste, if that comes to be.

My hope is that Pep really wants the challenge. That he now realises he has underestimated the task at hand and he needs to know the club depend on him more than any other club he has worked at before. I'm one of those that don't think it's all down to Bravo. He's not brilliant, but not the worst we've ever had - it's having the cast of Last of the Summer Wine on our wings and midfield that's the big problem.

Pep needs five years minimum.

I agree, the other thing that pissed me off yesterday is after Everton scored their 2nd goal we virtually just gave up and Pep just sat there with his arms folded looking like he didn't give a fuck.
At least with Mancini, despite his faults he was most of them time enthusiastic and kicked every ball. I also wheeled out a stat yesterday in that since 1995 we have never overturned a losing score line from half time in an away premier league game. We are mentally weak.

I'm not sure why you've chosen to post this sentence on a thread about him extending his stay?
