Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

Yeah, I really hope it's wrong information. Like you, I was convinced he'd see out his contract and pray that he still does.

i thought he'd want one more try at the champions league with this squad he's been rebuilding,
a final cherry on his extremely large cake.
especially as he looks so re-energinsed and up for things.

Is what it is, said along I’m utterly ambivalent about the whole situation. Pep was never staying forever so at some point logically the day is going to come where we have to get used to life beyond the greatest.

It’ll have been the best 10 years we will ever see, but life goes on.

Perspective.

Last game of the season they’ll be box of handkerchiefs on the seats.

Sadly, have been told by someone who’d know that the rumours about Pep leaving at the end of the season are indeed correct. Praying it’s not true, but he’d have no reason to lie :(

Not a huge surprise, given the amount of speculation, but still absolutely gutted. What a ride it’s been, the end of an incredible era. Winning the domestic treble would be a fitting end though for the greatest manager of all time.

As has been speculated, the new North Stand will be named in his honour and Enzo Maresca is his replacement.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

You're not allowed do that in public.

Obviously could be Gallagher being on a standard Twitter wind up but made me laugh that he’d seen a BM post.

You are always very balanced and grounded @Ric but I hope you are wumming big time this time around :D

Different people hear different stories from different sources.

Ha, I'm certainly not wumming but I do hope that what I was told is wrong.

Obviously the day was always going to come but surprised that he'd leave by breaking his contract

Different people hear different stories from different sources.

the best way for the club to find out where leaks are coming from is to whisper a porky into an ear and see if it spreads.
pretty sure they've done that in the past.

i'm probably just clutching at straws though.
oh well.

Why Ric? You could have kept it with yourself.

If we against the odds won domestic treble I think a lot of fans would want him to leave as would leave on a huge high
and media would have to pay respect for all the previous successes plus current success and given no opportunity to
smear him as past his sell by date etc and be forced to admit he could have gone on for more years and more success,
which is what he truly deserves especially after all that negative media after his first year.

 

[p.taker]

I will be gutted if he leaves but even more gutted if we get Maresca. He isn’t very good imo. Enrique in would make it okay.

Enrique is currently employed and has a contract until 2030. What else ya got?

All good things come to an end :(

Not enthralled with Maresca, not sure many will be, but hoping he's a place holder til Vinny comes home. Sorry Enzo ;)

Was told this a few months ago. We'd have to face it sooner or later.

I’ll be more heartbroken than any other exit from the club by a million miles . I wonder how and when it would be announced? That’s a tough call.

 

[Rammy Blue]

No disrespect but Stefan bandwagon jumping with a good old “this is my understanding too” is frankly laughable.
