I’m with you on that.I know what you mean but there is something special about this guy. I get the impression, and that is all it is as I don’t know him or anyone at City, that he feels at home at City as much or maybe more so than he Did at Barcelona.
There’s a touch of the anarchist about our beautiful bald genius. A sense of one who takes the side of the underdog in all things and you only have to read and listen to the filth and racist garbage that is regularly spouted about God’s own team to see that City will always be , if not the underdog exactly, then the ‘middle child’ of the football hierarchy.
I think beating the establishment runs in Pep’s blood and there is no better club to do that at than City.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see him still at City in another 5 years.
Pep has unfinished business with you. Not just one CL, but a few to put you up there with teams who dominated for a few years. He is at the right place and like you cannot see where else would be better. I think he will stay but he prepared for the press saying he will move on 8f you win in Turkey. It's a fucking cert of wishful thinking.I’m with you on that.
The plan here has been to build a dynasty.
Why would Pep want to leave just when it’s all coming together?
Where else could he go that would give him the tools?
He absolutely loves it here and is amongst friends at the club.
He’s a winner and winners like winning.
He has built a team that can dominate Europe for at least 5 years given the ages of many players and will want to be there to reap the rewards.
Extension more than likely...I hope!
Good point, but let's go and win it first, then worry about that.
Hopefully he will want back to back Champions League titles before he says adios.
The only fear I have is Mrs Guardiola is currently living in Barcelona. Her business is based there, it's home & there was a no fly ban in place when she went over to visit, so decided to stay until it was lifted.I can't see Pep leaving any time soon apart from health reasons. He is vocal - and usually without prompting - about his love for the club, the ownership, the players and fans and, more still, what the ownership is trying to accomplish (as if it is more - and it most certainly is - than just winning).
Having said that, as much as I would hate it, if we win the ***************** (redacted for anti-jinx purposes) and he wanted to move on to a new / different challenge I would send him off with well-wishes. I think he has become so firmly enmeshed with the culture of City that no matter where he goes or what he does he will always be "family."
Not a chance in hell he is going anywhere, he is a fiercly principled and loyal man, he gets us and can see the agenda thats being driven against us through the football authorities and media which will only strengthen his resolve to succeed with us, he’s a fierce Catalan rebel who fights injustice and i think he parallels that with working with City, he has everrthing he needs to succeed here and that will just drive him on to more and more success.This crossed my mind. Has he a gentleman's agreement to go if he lifts the big one? Will he want to go on a high?
I certainly hope not given the new contract and the fact that it's all downhill from here.
Is that right? when Pep was annoucned as our Manager I'm sure it was because someone leaked that he'd been looking around schools.The only fear I have is Mrs Guardiola is currently living in Barcelona. Her business is based there, it's home & there was a no fly ban in place when she went over to visit, so decided to stay until it was lifted.
Is she & the kids back yet?
Who in their right mind would leave city, really. Everything he wants to do his job.This crossed my mind. Has he a gentleman's agreement to go if he lifts the big one? Will he want to go on a high?
I certainly hope not given the new contract and the fact that it's all downhill from here.
