Pellegrini extends contract

[DiscoSteve]

I'd say this is to head off the Pep speculation for the season and is largely meaningless.

^^^^ This

Probably with some sort of release clause in it. 1. To award Pellegrini instead of letting him go. 2. As you people said, a smokescreen.

 

[George Hannah]

Another year on his deal is just reward for his excellent achievements so far.

This

That.

Lesson for anyone that needed it we do our business privately these days.

Transfer flappers take note.

So its just a decoy to throw the press of the scent? They will definitely stop asking questions on the back of this now......

Paddy Vieira being lined up as next manager?
2016/17 to be a transitional season when Manuel starts a seamless handover to Patrick with more EDS players drafted into 1st team squad?

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

I always said sack him or back him. I still believe he will be managing NYCFC next season though....

 

[Shirley]

Perfectly timed, will have all the hacks changing their questions at the presser today.

I very much hope it is indeed just a way of deflecting the year long questions about his future and a way of rewarding him for what he's achieved for us. Although i do feel it would of been best to leave when his contract is up as now he'll either have to be sacked or quit. however, If it's because we believe he's the man to take us forward then we're going nowhere anytime soon.
