don't know which managers are good but want to get rid of probably the greatest manager of all time because of one poor season that's a fast track way of ending just like unitedHe has lost his mojo. The players don't run, don't concentrate and don't seem to have any belief.
His decisions have been very poor this season.
The style of play has been poor for a long time. Started while we were still winning titles.
Our hunger and flair has gone.
I'd be happy for a replacement to come in and shake up things. But I've no idea which managers are any good.
In any case we support the club. Good players or not, good managers or not, good results or not.
Mourinho was once a guarantee if success. Now he is a busted flush.don't know which managers are good but want to get rid of probably the greatest manager of all time because of one poor season that's a fast track way of ending just like united
that's fine get rid of pep hope the next manager has success no doubt you will all be crying if it goes badly i'm sure haaland signed a 9 year deal with the knowledge of pep leaving in the summerMourinho was once a guarantee if success. Now he is a busted flush.
We need to move on. Tonight was ridiculous
We couldn't lay a finger on them.
Pep will be an old man by the time Haalands contract ends. He didn't sign for Pep he signed for City, the best run club in the world.that's fine get rid of pep hope the next manager has success no doubt you will all be crying if it goes badly i'm sure haaland signed a 9 year deal with the knowledge of pep leaving in the summer
i'm sure he signed thinking pep will be here for at least 2 years not leave in the summer and yes i know pep won't be here for the whole time of his contractPep will be an old man by the time Haalands contract ends. He didn't sign for Pep he signed for City, the best run club in the world.
name me another team now who have done what city have done recently of course there tired and mentally exhausted a drop off was always gonna happen but you have to give the club ans the manager the time to put it right no reactionary decisions like what we are seeing from city fansThe lack of effort and the continuous errors to me are a sign that the players are not motivated. They could be mentally exhausted, physically exhausted, without faith, without unity, confused etc. We can't tell for sure why but a manager on the up will address whatever it is so that the players individually and collectively will eventually perform near perfectly.
Maybe Pep is in the middle of successfully perfecting this. Who knows but we need our key players to hunger excellence again.
Can you name a team that was amazingly successful with a top manager, then dipped dramatically as we have and then returned to be amazing again undef the same top manager?name me another team now who have done what city have done recently of course there tired and mentally exhausted a drop off was always gonna happen but you have to give the club ans the manager the time to put it right no reactionary decisions like what we are seeing from city fans
alex ferguson did it multiple times do you want to know why because they game him time to rectify his mistakes we have had one bad season i could understand your logic if we was this bad next season my question to you is who would you replace him withCan you name a team that was amazingly successful with a top manager, then dipped dramatically as we have and then returned to be amazing again undef the same top manager?
Maybe there are loads of examples but I can't think of any. (Maybe Ferguson but his latter success was paper thin)

Let's hope so.Klopp and Liverpool?
19/20 - 1st 99 points
20/21 - 3rd 69 points, losing 6 games in a row at one point.
21/22 - 2nd 92 points, CL final, won both cups
It can be done when the drop is due to injuries/physical decline and not because the players have lost faith in the manager.
have the club made mistakes absolutely did they get to complacent yes but they realised that in january and bought 4 players not just now but for the future we have to give them chance in the summer to rectify it if it's still the same then yes the uncomfortable conversation will have to be had but we can't be reactionary otherwise we end up like unitedI have no idea who is a good manager to replace Pep now or in the future.
To an extent I don't care if he stays or goes. All I want is for my club to do the best that they can with the resources they have.
I think (but how can i know) that we did the best we could under Horton, Royle, Keegan, Pearce, Mancini and Pep until this season. We did less than our best imo under Clarke, Ball, Hughes and Pelligrini after his first season.
I hope you are right that this is just a one season blip. I'd be fine with that.
(PS. There is no City fan who doesn't have complete respect and appreciation for Pep, Gundogan, KDB, Bernardo, etc)
my thought process both pep and the board are at fault for the summer window trying to put it right in january which is a step in the right direction see what the summer bringsWith what has unfolded this season there is no manager in the world who could win the bigger prizes. At best a couple of domestic trophies (which we are still on target with winning the FA Cup). If the players were fully fit and we were still churning out the same performances then by all means move him on.
If he has the energy to go again I hope he signs another extension to send a message to everyone.He has earned his chance for another crack with a fresher set of players and if anything it gives wriggle room in finding his successor with a new DoF
It’s all down to pep! He wanted a small squad! He wanted no new players!Agreed.
He didn't have a fit XI that could win that game.
He's been let down inadvertently in some cases by players have seemingly gone over the hill all at same time.
Certain he'll fix it this summer.
and if you listen to him now he realises that was a mistake at the time in the summer when he said that he wasn't sure about staying so you could argue the board should of stepped in but they wouldn't want to sign anyone pep wouldn't want in case he does decide to stayIt’s all down to pep! He wanted a small squad! He wanted no new players!
So his first comment is we couldn't cope with their physicality, yet starts Gundo and Silva.
