He didn't have a change of heart, he just didn't tell the truth to journalists. Why would he? The club have handled this impeccably as usual.

If we knew he was leaving at the end of the year, the noise surrounding the club would have been unbearable. Every time we dropped points, there would be accusations that Pep's future was a distraction and the players were no longer playing for him.
