Enzo Maresca "high among candidates" to replace Guardiola if he leaves next summer

Apparently according to the all knowing BBC Viana and City are putting a short list together.
Well how does that work- probably take about 1 minute ?
What are they going to do until 2027?
What utter nonsense the BBC article is, has taken 3 numbnuts to put together as well
Everyone know how tight City are yet they make claims as if they know what is happening in the inner circle
All this started by one and half paragraphs in the Ornstein article he’s done his job for his clients
 
Great to see him happy still and wanting to stay. We will always see noise around his departure but ultimately he will stay as long as he wants and after a break in the summer and more fight and energy from the team this year he knows he can bring something together again that dominates for a few years. We might go trophy less this season but we are on the right path and Pep is the man.

Funny this comes out when we can go top of the league!

Ultimately he is happy to have short term deals and the club are happy to give him them. That says it all. Most clubs have to give longer contracts to get managers in and then sack them and have to pay them off.
 
Doesn’t sound like a man in the last six months of his career at City

No it didn't. He sounded happy. Reassuring. It was quite interesting. Some interesting questions and responses.

The BBC leads with an article that says 'Man City must prepare for successor. Pep'. But the message was I want to stay.
 
I watched the presser. I'm not going to read into it too much.

I don't think he's close to leaving though and his comment about the potential of the team sort of confirms my belief.

I'll be happy when I see an extension.
 
Pep is so respectful of the press answers all there questions even with the shit he gets we get as a club! Yesterdays and embargo part has loads of questions about the lie about him going end of this season! I’d rather him say it’s a load of rubbish I’ll be here 18 months then see! That’s alll he should have said and don’t answer any more questions on it! The media still print what they want anyway so give them short answers..
 
I'd like to see Pep give the press the runaround.

Pep " yeah I'm leaving yeah"
Press " so you're saying your leaving when will that be?"
Pep" yeah 2 weeks, yeah maybe next month...we will see after the new year yeah end of January ok?"
Press " you said you are leaving so can we get a date of when you will leave as manager of mcfc?"
Pep "no I said many times I will leave in 2, 3 or 4 so we will see what happens. The transfer window is open till end of January so if the release clause is paid we can tell you more after that ok? I will definitely leave....to go to bodo glimt in January...then I will be back after".
 
The way they questioned pep was like he has won nought and the club are looking to sack him! Why should he keep defending himself about seeing his contract out likeness has done at every club he has been with! Said before he is so respectful answering every question other managers would have given them a piece of his mind of one word answers!

Only way this media would have lead with a positive headline today would have been if Khaldoon was sat next to him and there was a new contract for another 2 years and pep signs it there and then! Media are mainly red shots arse lickers and the bbc are right at the front row licking away!
 
I love these moments from Pep - his motivations are way beyond the grasp of mortals in the press room, who cannot understand that the goal for him is not the honours but the development of the players and the game. We are so blessed and it will be so hard to replace him, but on we will march.
