If both Pep and Txiki planned on this being their last season here respectively and the squad we see currently is of their doing and not the result of the club putting restrictions on them then I'd have to say WTF were they thinking? I have to think the club knew both were leaving and thus in fairness to their successors they would leave it to them to make the big decisions in terms of building the squad going forward. It's the only thing that makes sense. I know I'll get slaughtered on here for saying this but with a new director coming in I'd rather Pep extend for 2 or 3 years or not at all. What does one more year signify? I'm not one for begging him to stay one more year. If he's not dying to stay then I say arrivederci. Build him a statue and move on. Rip off the band aid and keep the train moving. Cemetaries are full of irreplaceable people...the club ALWAYS comes first...

Ahh, so we’re at the point of questioning him now after a first defeat in an injury ravaged season.
Seems this place never learns.
All very very sad.
It's more Wednesday mate than today for me

Don’t agree. If anything he needs new fresh quality players.He's run out of ideas unfortunately. Need to let him go and bring in someone new for next season.
Time for another small rebuild. It’s all went somewhat stale which let’s not pretend wasn’t on the cards at some point.
Rather keep the boss and identity what he needs before leaving it to someone else inferior.
It resembles season 1 under pep. Get it right and he signs for another 2 seasons. Starting in January.
Yeah, a win Wednesday and we are motoring along ok considering the circumstances.It's more Wednesday mate than today for me
We stay within 5 points coming into the New Year and I expect a few to be eating their words like most seasons when they lose the plot after a couple of poor results.

If it's who I think you mean - isn't the usual problem that he has too many?
For me we'd hit the formula - then instead of signing younger back ups to some of our senior pros, we sign wingers. Yes, crowd pleasing, but ultimately jeopardising the successful system and leaving us short elsewhere.

City: Injury crisis.
Me: Okay that sucks, guess that means we will have to rely on some of our promising youth.
City: Gonna play the seniors into the ground.
Me: Okay well, that doesnt instill confidence in the youth, atleast dont make the midfield as weak as possible.
City: Here is a midfield 3 that lacks physicality or creativity but can keep the ball.

I think that’s the key point though, needs to stay for a minimum of two seasons. We need a rebuild, one season doesn’t help any new manager.Don’t agree. If anything he needs new fresh quality players.
