He was brilliant for two seasons but they are a distant memory now, how long do we accept performances like today and let him get away with it just because he is Pep?
He was absolutely right when he said he has to deserve a new contract. Most managers stay at a club until they get sacked. Allowing Pep to dictate how long he wanted to be here has resulted in a loss of hunger from him and the players, today was as big a "cant be arsed" performance as you are ever likely to see. That simply doesn't happen under the Pep of 2 to 3 years ago. Regardless of the personnel.
When managers know they face the sack after a bad run it keeps them on their toes. My facebook is currently full of blues saying all the usual stuff e.g "cant believe people are wanting Pep out after everything he's done for us..." and that is the problem. If we keep accepting crap like today because he got us 100 points 3 years ago, then we will keep getting crap like today.
Khaldoon should be on the phone tomorrow to say "if things don't improve you're out". His hunger has gone and he needs a major kick up the arse. He is not, and should not, be unsackable.
Also, first City manager to concede 5 since Sven...
