Pep signs new contract until 2025 (p 1262)

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

It looks like he has lost his faith in the players and the players have given up on his tactics. Cheaper to replace him than the entire squad. I don’t want to see him leave as I still consider him the best manager, but something has to change.

I think Im with you on that

Pep said very clearly he needs to deserve to stay. That means if we won't win he doesn't stay. Quite simple and fair. Where is the problem

As much as I love him, I think its time to part ways. Its blatant that its not working and not all is rosy. And no, it’s not down to players being injured or covid season. This tactic has lost its potency, we have to grind out a draw against the likes of West Ham now when these lot were getting slapped by the same formula few years ago. It’s time to freshen things up, we need new a midfielder, a striker, a leftback and maybe a new winger and need to make sure all of those are young, quick and direct footballers. Pace and power clearly rules the scene now and this side is devoid of it. I wouldn’t mind if we have to offload the likes of Mahrez, Gundogan and Bernardo in the process.

Fair enough, ignore me then. I'd always imagined it was Pep who had the biggest say on who we buy.

He has a massive say mate . A manger like pep will have a big input but like the guy says other people aswell have an input .

Nah show the man a bit of respect. He will go when the time is right. The club as a whole have purchased the wrong players. He can’t get them to replace the legends. Keep pep and buy 3 world class players to replace Fern, Sergio and Dave.

I get the distinct feeling that Messi is key to his decision, if he signs for us in January or even a pre-contract agreement then Pep stays. If he doesnt then i expect Pep to walk away at the send of the season.

I personally think that if we sign Messi it will go down as one of the biggest fuck up's in recent times.

Messi should have no influence whatsoever if Pep stays or not.

If he only wants to stay because Messi is coming it is very wrong in my humble opinion.

This season has already shown our squad is unbalanced and in need of some serious reworking.

He will go when the time is right for us, the club, not pep. He’s not bigger than the club, he’s an employee who is failing with his expectations.

We chased Pep for about 2 years and sacrificed Pellegrini's final season. If he ultimately can't turn us into a truly world class side who on earth is likely to follow him?

You don’t think the team that got 198 points over two seasons was truly world class?
