Pep to leave at the end of the season

All points to pep leaving now unfortunately.

Hope im wrong but the fact they are even having a parade for a domestic cup double and then the co op element to me suggests it’s big

Unless he signs another contract extension live
We did the Cup double, the Women won the WSL, and I hope the U-18s are there too. There's more than enough reason to parade our trophies.
 
I still think he thinks he still has things left to achieve here. Theres been times during the season where he has looked done particularly Jan time. However the past 6-8 weeks I have never seen him so fresh and enthusiastic. Perhaps because he knows it coming to an end?

Either way it must tug on the heart strings for him to make any decision on his future decision. He has already had great personal loss for signing his last extension. He also knows he has the love of the board players and fans, I am adamant the club would let him retire here if it was an option.

Difficult either way.
 
Peps going nowhere and wouldn't surprise me if he stays a couple more years, but we know as soon as the season starts the media will be never ending talking about him leaving and rubbing there hands together and getting excited about the prospect of him leaving our club, cunts.
 
I think Vinnie wanting to come back is a very optimistic opinion. He may well have moved on in his life, he’s also canny enough to know that following Pep (hopefully years off in any event) may be a similar poisoned chalice to following the piss can
Taggart left Moyes with a sack of shite though in comparison
 
i maybe letting my heart rule my head, but i think he'll stay and even extend again later next season.

Hes got the perfect job, he eats sleeps and drinks football. he wont get another job like he has now. hes building the next great city team i believe anyway.
 
Might not end up being for just one year though.

This is the part I find hard to get my head round. Media suggesting this year or that he sees out his contract - but also saying he loves this team and is full of energy. Sounds to me as much like him signing a new contract as leaving, but we'll find out soon enough I guess.

However, I just heard the other day though that our final game of the season v Villa he overtakes Les McDowall as having been in charge of City for the most matches. The new stand (named after him?) and beating that record might be a fitting way to go.

In terms of Maresca, I don't mind. He's obviously worked with Pep and has tactical similarities, did well with Leicester - a mixed bag at Chelsea, but that club is mental. Vinny has shown though at Bayern that struggling somewhere doesn't mean you can't succeed at a big club.
 
All very weird tbh, i wonder if it all depends on if we win the league or not? Maybe he wants to go out winning it, or giving it a better shot at least - wherever we finish this season its never really felt like we've *deserved* winning it..

They did this for about the last decade of Taggart's reign, and every year or two our hearts would sink with the next contract extension. Boot's on the other foot now.
 
Guardiola has won more major trophies in his ten years than any other coach in their best ten years. Bob Paisley is the closest but when you strip out Charity Shields, Guardiola is easily superior. He has done this in a far more intense environment with greater competition in UK and Europe and many more games played. Add the cream on top that he has changed the way football is played from the top down to grass roots level, he is absolutely unique.

Best 10 years: Major trophies - no Charity Shields

Pep: 17 major trophies
Paisley 13
Ferguson 10
Wenger 7
 
Likewise he doesn’t need to tell the cunts he is staying either. He has had ten fucking years of the cunts taking the piss out of him, he is more than entitled to get his own back. My personal view is that he is 70% to 80% staying, and the final 20% to 30% is to ensure at the end of the season that the players are still fighting for him, something he has alluded to a few times over the years. Unless he has told you any different that’s the logic I am sticking to
This is pretty much exactly where I am with it.

What about if you did it in their first 10 years? Not sure if Paisley did 10 years?
 
I think BBC on Sunday. Asked if he will be here next season answered "yeah" but at the end said "I'm here at the end of the season of the premier league".

Edit: This is it.

But both those things are true. And don't contradict each other in any way. I don't see the issue.

He explicitly said he will be here next year, with a one word answer. When asked 'definitely', he said he has a contract. When asked for the third time in 12 seconds for next season, he rolled his eyes abd gave that response. To me, that felt more like 'stop asking me now at this point' rather than a riddle.
 
But Foden, who was an unused sub at Wembley, would love to see the 55-year-old stay on at City.

"To play with him now for so many years has been a blessing," he said. "He’s certainly helped my game.

"I’m really happy that he’s still here at the moment and let’s see what happens at the end of the season. Hopefully he can be here next season.
