If the rot continues what happens ?

He may look clueless, but you can be absolutely sure that his maniac's brain is racing at a thousand miles an hour since the beginning of this crisis (its cruising speed is five hundred). He's already said he's not sleeping well nights, and I reckon that's an understatement.
I'll say it again, because it apparently need saying on this forum, to the point of nausea: he may be partly responsible for getting us into this mess (and there's messes and messes — United have just been pasted at home and are sitting solidly and hopelessly in thirteenth position), but there is absolutely no manager in the world I'd rather have to get us out of it.
And I will continue to say that unless we drop into the relegation zone. Even then, I'd have to have a big, long think about it…

I'd get rid of every single person involved at the club before Pep. He is City. I'm with him ride or die I just hope he gets the backing he deserves in the next 2 windows.

I like your post, but I have to demur from the part in bold. We are City. From generation to generation. Players, even the greatest, come and go. Managers, even the greatest, come and go. Owners come and go. Shit, even stadiums come and go, although on a slower timeline.

What doesn't come and go? Us, the supporters… (now where the fuck's that Chelsea shirt I left gathering dust somewhere in the attic?)

Pep usually destroys Dyche teams.

Think Everton plays City into form. Haaland double hat trick on Boxing day and the weekend.

But it's important for him to stay humble this time.

I'm worried for Pep's mental health. He's in agony over this run of bad results, bad play, bad luck with injuries, and while the fans are stressed about it I think it gets to him even more. Greatest manager of all time but he hasn't faced a test like this before. At this point City finishing 4th in the league and winning the F.A. Cup would be fantastic and that's what I'm asking Santa for, as much or more for his sake as for any reflected glory that we mere supporters get.

when Pep leaves we all want him to leave on a high. I think he's given us everything and needs a break, but, let him sort out the current mess first. btw ide take winning the CWC and Champions League oh and that FFP shite ;-)

It could be worse. My Dad could have been a utd fan and then the likelihood is, so would I have been, alongside the rest of my siblings. As it is my Dad was a blue through and through and so are we and we go into the Christmas period and since the start of November, having won just one game in our last eight Premier League matches and we are still FIVE points ahead of that lot across the way:)

If it continues for a long time we will get relegated.

So what, we have done it before and enjoyed playing in the lower divisions.

And I think this is a key differenciator between us and other large clubs.

If we got relegated... So fkin what. I'll still be a city fan and I'd still back Pep.

We should be chanting Peps name at every match and singing 'We're going down with a billion in the bank'.
Not fkin booing!!!

We'd probably end up signing sum dum fuck.

Be good if it was Lee won pen

I suppose the next six games will decide how the season pans out. A few wins, a bit of confidence, a healthier squad are all pretty important before a brutal five weeks starting last week of January.

I'm still confident of CL play-offs and top four, even with the squad we have now.
