Can't for the life of me figure out what the delay in the formal announcement is all about. There signs have been there for ages, he flogged his restaurant, he's bought a new home in barca, his background staff are leaving any day now, rumours his apartment lease is due to expire. There isn't anything of substance to imply he's staying. So what is the reason for this delay, we're not a public company so there's no regulatory reason it has to been managed. It cant be to secure transfers, please sign to play under Pep, oh sorry he's gone, we forgot to mention it. The title has gone so no impact on a last day showdown, so wtf is going on. Have CFC thrown a legal spanner in the works re Maresca contract? ie we dont want to announce Pep has gone until Maresca is 100% done and the lawyers (YET AGAIN !) are trying to reach a settlement..
