Sadly I think there is truth in this. For me Pep is a genius but in modern football no manager can maintain the sort of levels we have seen for sustained periods. Teams have got wise to the way we play. Football has always been about evolution and requires constant change. Whatever happens I believe Pep will go down as our greatest ever manager.It’s becoming a more accepted opinion now but honestly Pep is done at City, it’s over. There were a few comments in some player interviews last season, one by KDB, where reading between the lines you could tell the feeling of bemusement at Pep’s decisions is firmly rooted within the players too. And once that sets in, times up I’m afraid. I love him, but not so blindly that I can’t see when it’s time for change. Signing a 1 year extension won’t alter our course, it would only extend it.
I remain optimistic for the future. We have some fantastic young players in all areas and it will be exciting watching Foden, Torres, Laporte, etc develop into world class players. I still think we can win the title this season in a crazy wide open race. I also believe we will find a great replacement when Pep decides to go (probably this summer)
