Beginning The 2025 Rebuild of City

[Blue Bogey]

I think this rebuild is so important it deserves its own thread. I know there are some, though I expect few who will say we will be fine once we get over the injuires, but I think those fans are getting fewer.

There are some questions that are important for the rebuild.

1 - Should Pep be in charge of the rebuild?
2 - Which players should be moved on in 2025?
3 - Which players should be offered new contracts?
3b - What players should we be targetting?
4 - Who is making the decisions for the rebuild, i.e. Txiki or Hugo Viana
5 - How will the 115 PL charges decision and other outside influences reflect on the rebuild. Do we wait until after the decision of the independent commission?
6 - what sort of figures do we realistically have to spend on a rebuild?
7 - With the bad form we are in, how as fans can we help the club?

We definitely need a rebuild, but I am concerned players are not bought for Pep’s system as a new manager in maybe a 1 or 2 years if Pep leaves, may not want his players and the transition will take longer.

As fans, today is another huge blow in a period of really poor form. We don’t seem to have turned the corner. A win against United today may have given everyone a big boost and, with a week until the next game given the players could have had a chance to regroup and consolidate. I imagine the morale among the players will be as low as it is for us fans. Today we can be forgiven for showing our disapproval of the players, coaches and even recruiting team. Tomorrow we need to get back behind them it is not as if we have another team to support. We are blues, once a blue always a blue.

Now for the rebuild!

1. Yes
2. Walker, Ederson, Gundogan, Grealish, Silva, Stones, Akanji, Ake, Nunes, De bruyne
3. Good question, Rodri.
4. I'd assume Viana
5. No time to wait unless we wanna finish 10th.
6. Alot it should seem considering that we made most profit on player sales in the whole world, after Benfica.
7. Hold out until january (hopefully)

I don‘t see Doku at •“2.“

Yeah i was debating that, he could without a shadow of a doubt be put in there too.

I edited my OP and added 3b which players should we be targetting? I know it is a bit open but I think we should only be going after the very best as we were the best team in the World last year.

That is a good question tbh i am not really too sure, but dream signing would be Wirtz/Musiala but i think that will be really hard to pull off.. obviously that is 1 player out of another 10 we need.

We have to try for these types of players and both if possible together.

We had a squad planning thread but...

1 - Should Pep be in charge of the rebuild? YES
2 - Which players should be moved on in 2025? WALKER, GREALISH NUNES, AKE, KDB
3 - Which players should be offered new contracts? Rodri, Haaland, Foden, Dias
4 - Who is making the decisions for the rebuild, TRANSFER GROUP AS PER.
5 - How will the 115 PL charges decision and other outside influences reflect on the rebuild. Do we wait until after the decision of the independent commission? CLUB WILL BE BAU UNTIL ALL APPEALS ARE DONE
6 - what sort of figures do we realistically have to spend on a rebuild? 500 over 3 windows
7 - With the bad form we are in, how as fans can we help the club? KEEP GOING ONE GAME AT TIME

Apppreciate your first point. I noticed it was started in 2022 and it was a squad planning thread that rolled into each window. I felt we needed a new one for a new era. As it feels like we are in need of creating a new squad era. This is a big one.
