I’ve commented on this before. One of the big Factors in our success is that players don’t want to leave. You have to credit Khaldoon and to a lesser extent Soriano and Txiki for creating that supportive culture. It always come from the top: if you treat people well they want to stay,It’s almost unbelievable to older blues that
not only do some of the best players in the world come to City and love it so much that they stay for pretty much the rest of their careers but that the best manager in the world by far has spent far longer here than at two of the world’s biggest clubs.
We all have our little moans about certain aspects of how the club is run but man the sheikh and khaldoon and the execs have built something truly remarkable here. So special in fact that I don’t think Pep will want to walk away, he knows he’ll never have a set up that comes anywhere near to what he has here.

If he really does fancy international management next, he’d want time to mould whoever he managed before a big tournament.Going nowhere IMO. If he needs a year out to recharge or even if he left to manage a euro/World Cup, I would be ok with it. Pep is keeping the door open to come back. Unorthodox but he is worth the hassle.
Hopefully the club will keep an open mind approach to Pep and his future role. We now have a bond with each other that won’t be easily broken.
We won the lottery twice once pep signed.
Not a bad shout that. He has permission to leave city in 2025 and return 2026 for another 10 seasons ;)If he really does fancy international management next, he’d want time to mould whoever he managed before a big tournament.
2026 is in the US. Wonder if he’d manage them in their home tournament? imagine if he won? He’d be a hero.
I’m hoping his replacement hasn’t been born yet.Not a bad shout that. He has permission to leave city in 2025 and return 2026 for another 10 seasons ;)

Plenty of our players who’d lived in the area for years chose themselves to leave the Cheshire suburbs to live in the City centre. Aguero and David Silva amongst them.City do this very well, whether it’s from the top or the talented people we have at middle management.
Things like the recent family Halloween fun day they did in the indoor pitch for the players and their families.
When you don’t have the weather you have to do other things and City do it well.
Although I wish they would not recommend players to live in the City Centre. I’m sure if Bernardo had a lovely 5 bed in Prestbury then he wouldn’t be as homesick viewing then KFC litter polluting the River Irwell from his apartment balcony.
