I wouldn’t be shocked if next year is Pep’s last. Our last few managers were not long term and I don’t expect Pep to be any different. That said, we’d be stupid to sack him before his contract is up. He built one of the best teams to grace English football and built the first team to reach 100 points in a single season. I agree that things don’t look great now, but no single manager could fix it. We have been battered with injuries and aging players. Yes, our intensity has dropped but we won 2 consecutive titles. Not a single set of players can keep that intensity up infinitely. Give it another year and hopefully we will be back up to our full fitness and intensity. If we’re lucky, Pep will even sign a new contract, but if not, at least he’s left us a team with passing ability and drive to win the ball back. With Sane and Laporte back in February, hopefully we’ll make some decent cup runs.
CMON CITY!
