Pep to leave at the end of the season

The Norfolk Blue said:
So if he is leaving, where does he go from here? He’s only 55 so has got at least a decade left in him?

He won’t manage Spain, and I couldn’t bare all those cun7s who have slagged him off, cheering if he took over after Tuchel as England boss?

I’m genuinely thinking he could come back in the future.

Probably have a long break, go and spend time with the family. Then go and dominate another league, before international maybe?

If Pep does go I trust those in charge to choose his replacement, its obviously going to be a very tough act to follow but whoever it is they are going to need our support rather than slagging them off before they have even taken the job.

I really thought he had the passion to continue with this new team he’s built. Very concerned that players will now want to leave. I mean, how do you from Pep to someone like Maresco. Really disappointed in the club because they’ve had plenty of time to find a top top manager to take the reins.

The only positive is that if Maresca comes in, it's a kind of 'boot room' move.
The way the club play at all levels, we needed someone with that coaching mindset & i think it's only him & Vinnie who fit that criteria.

It is thought that City have begun to tell their sponsor partners that the announcement is imminent. The news has also been an open secret among some of those close to Guardiola.

It is expected that the news will be confirmed some time on Sunday, in time for Guardiola’s stunning impact on English football to be celebrated at an open-top bus parade on Monday.

I'll be honest, I'm really struggling to accept this from you of all posters after some of the awful and disrespectful things you've said about Pep ever since we won the league in 2024. We've all had our hot-headed and frustrated moments after bad games across the last two seasons, but I think even with a cool head on non-matchdays you've shown very little in the way of affection or sentimentality towards him despite all he's done for us.

"The Spanish Stuart Pearce" (on two separate occasions), "His best years are behind him", crediting the 4-in-a-row to the players rather than Pep, "he's given up", "the Catalan Mark Hughes", "bored to tears watching his insipid football", blaming him personally for lost TV revenue, "I rarely have a clue what the fuck he's talking about", "he's washed", etc. And those are just from his performance threads across the last two seasons.

You've gloated for two years on this forum about apparently being "right" to call for his removal in the aftermath of the 2024 title victory but you've said virtually nothing about the FA Cup win over the weekend and all you had to say on the day we beat Arsenal to win the League Cup was "Bernardo counting the players in the tunnel. Need to count the fuckers on the field, because a few seem to disappear before getting on there."

And then there's this chestnut, which you posted after he spoke up about the suffering of innocent people in Palestine.


I'm gonna be reading (and posting) a lot of sentimental and emotional stuff about Pep over the next few months but I'm gonna take anything sentimental posted by you with a massive pinch of salt, because frankly all you've done on here for two years is smugly strut about declaring Pep to be "the Spanish Stuart Pearce" while staring at your watch waiting for the day he leaves. Now it's come time and you're trying to join in with the teary-eyed send off? Nah. Not on my watch.

Hang on PB. I’m just nipping out for popcorn

I do feel Pep would not want the players he has largely relied upon during his tenure to be part of the replacement managers squad. He may see that as new manger benefitting from his players. Left important players needing new contracts or out of contract and leave the players to decide if they stay.

Bit hard to take on the evening that Arse won yet again 1-0 by yet again another corner by avoiding yet again another blatant red card.
Pep, you legend. I’m so so happy you came to our club.

Well, the good news is that now a draw won’t suffice for them at Palace. We will have goal differential of it comes to it.

Chelsea under Maresca looked uncoached. Whether that's the players or not, it wasn't a good look. Urgh. This could be a horrible few days

But compared to how they've looked since he left, they looked pretty well coached.

He had them playing better than anyone since has. The problems there aren't the touchline. It's the guys that actually kick the ball.

(And I want *nothing* to do with any of them, FWIW. I really hope Maresca doesn't bring a couple of those guys over. Nothing good will come of that.)
