I really hope Khaldoun does the honourable thing here and does it by Monday. There is no recovery from this with Pep in situ. It's become embarrassing for all involved. He simply knows nothing other than what he does now. The players have had their natural game coached out of them. Add to that around 12 of the 18 senior players are well past their sell by date. The orange has been squeezed so dry, nothing is salvageable. In short, this phase is over. There is no transition possible with Pep. It is rip it up and start again. There are no guarantees, it is unlikely to be achieved in the term of just one manager, and could possibly take up to 3 managers over 6 to 7 years. It could of course never happen. Any further persisting with Pep is delaying any possible future pick up. Sad, but true, and I have seen things in over 50 years supporting City that I could have never have imagined, however it is over.
