Pep to leave at the end of the season

It was very clear City wanted Pep a few years before he was available. We brought in Pellegrini for a couple of years as part of that longer term plan. I see Maresca as a Pellegrini type appointment. If that indeed happens, which is what the rumours are. I think Vinny is the next choice and the longer term plan. I only see Maresca coming in for a couple of years until Vinny leaves Bayern.

Which might be what some want. This type of news could derail us as a team just enough to ensure Arsenal have the advantage

If the reports are true then the players were already told so its either already affected results or it hasn't but this announcement shouldn't make any difference now. Tomorrow will be a tough game no matter.

As a few others have mentioned this has been handled very badly.
The timing is piss poor.
Worst kept secret in football.
Club should’ve just announced it.
Dragging it out and letting the fans find out off them cunts in the media.
Poor.

Couldn’t disagree more.
Announce early - team down tools or go into waiting mode and we win nothing this season
This way - we have another 2 trophies and chance of a Treble
Amazed it didn’t break before now …

The Chelsea gig he got himself sacked, due to the board interfering with who he could pick based on wages, which any right minded manager would do. He fell out with the circus there and got sacked for what he said, rather than performances.

Iriola has done alright with a well run mid table club. Maresca’s time at Chelsea far more valuable.

This is the important thing that people are overlooking. He knew there was something wrong at Chelsea, Gave his views and left when he was ignored. Great bravery and he will follow in Pep's footsteps

Nah Maresca wasn't even in the thinking until a few years back. Chelsea fans don't have much good to say about him either. Lots of assistants turn out to not be great managers

You’re not getting it. Chelsea is a shit show. Potter isn’t a bad coach. Maresca isn’t. Chelsea is the worst place to coach.

We are different. If Maresca comes in on Pep’s call, it’s because pep knows his qualities. We are completely different to Chelsea. Trust the process.

The tone of the BBC reporting is very muted to be fair the expected euphoria would make me believe he ain’t “quitting” to quote the Fail

Hope I’m right

Always hoped Vinny would come back and work a season with Pep as part of a handover
 
This is gonna test our metal. Iv been saying it all week. The quotes from players and pep’s interviews along with @Ric posting.

The great man has decided to go. An earthquake will hit the club. We must trust those in charge. Pep would not leave us in the shit. Again, trust khaldoon. Trust the club.

I was hoping he would be here for 115 but not to be.

We destroyed English football and every fucking record going. What a time to a blue.

So sad but so happy to have those memories.

Make no mistake. If this is a viable fact based leak, it was done so tonight for maximum impact by the red shirt mafia

Don't think that's how the Daily Mail operate, they'd have got it out as quick as they know to pip anyone else.
