I thought they worked it out.
Think it might be the best manager in the 140+ year of our football club leaving and a stand named after him, plus stalwarts like Stones and Bernardo going after a decade.What, pray tell soothsayer, are the important points?
Maybe Pep is taking a sabbatical break to recharge and comes back in 2/3 years can’t see him managing another club after City.Now the disappointing dust settles - obviously he earned the right to go how and when he wanted - but can't help thinking he's made a mistake and will regret this decision. Situations like this don't align often. He has shaped and (with others) has built this club exactly how he wants, we're competitive and still winning trophies with a developing team, we're 2 or 3 signings from possibly reclaiming our CL crown which is his raison d'etre - off field the club development continues, and he actually loves Manchester and the club.
A month or two off, watching the World Cup will kill him, the type of personality he is. Unless this is about a reconciliation with his wife, then why Pep? Why?
There were times during that period where we literally left other sides bewildered. It wasn't just that they couldn't compete they simply couldn't work out what was being done to them.
I wondered this, i imagined he would only need a few months to recharge. Judging by his press conference though it will be much longer.Now the disappointing dust settles - obviously he earned the right to go how and when he wanted - but can't help thinking he's made a mistake and will regret this decision.

Garbage. Proved fuck all? Chelsea were floundering despite all the money they had spent. He got them to those finals and won them. There were enough on here going berserk because we didn't win the Club World Cup so he did what Pep and his team couldn't do that year. He also took Leicester straight back to the Prem, another team in total disarray when he took over, hanging on to old has-beens.So from the greatest manager the worlds ever seen to someone whose proved fuck all in his managerial career, has no style we can expect and has won mickey mouse trophies. Can't wait to be mid table again. Maresca is not a good appointment, ill die on that hill.
Just watching City champions again 22/23 just how good was that side, the intensity of Pep in driving that side on is unbelievable.Just watched on YouTube all the 106 goals we scored in the 100 points season. OMG we were utterly fantastic. Probably ever see the like again. What a team. Thank you Pep.
Has the chairman commented?There is a Catalan saying - Seny i Rauxa - and Pep is the embodiment of it.
‘Seny i Rauxa’ is the Catalan ‘ying’ and ‘yang’. It is two opposing forces working alongside each other to create something special.
‘Seny’ is the calm, composed, thoughtful, calculated side of the Catalan. While ‘Rauxa’ is the impulsive, wild, crazy, raucous side of the Catalan. When they come together, they complete each other, and great things happen.
This is Pep down to a tee.
In these ten years, everything we’ve seen at City has come from Pep’s cultural Seny i Rauxa. The level of detail that has gone into the planning of everything with the explosive elements that have destroyed teams.
Pep orchastrated the greatest football ever played in this country. Bringing together the calm passing and movement from the likes of David Silva, Bernardo Silva and Gündoğan, keeping our attacks ticking over. To the destructive balls into the corridor of uncertainty from De Bruyne and the thunderbastards in off the bar from outside the box from Kun Agüero. Having Ederson’s threat of being able to play like another outfield player along the back line to being able to ping pin-point balls 60-yards for an assist. Playing games with a man more than the opposition every week, creating time and space for everyone in the opposition half. The finesse of Stones moving up into midfield, to the brute power and leadership of Kompany. Rodri bossing games in the middle of the pitch, to Sterling’s movement and ability to get on the end of things up top. To having Fabian Delph and Zinchenko playing at left back, tucking into midfield and not looking out of place in teams that got 198 points across two seasons.
100 points, 106 goals, Centurions… domestic quadruple, with 14 wins in a row to win the PL with 98 points… the unbelievable quality of performances by the greatest ever English team… nearly winning a treble in 2021, the heartbreak of losing the CL final (which was needed before going on to eventually win it)… the comeback against Villa in the wildest 5 minutes I’ve ever seen in a football stadium to from from 0-2 to 3-2 to win the PL… the treble, coming from behind to win the PL, beating the Rags to win the FA Cup and the unbelievable Bayern+Madrid wins to get to the CL final and Rodri’s goal to win it in Istanbul… running on empty after all that to set the record of four league titles in a row…
2017-2024 Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, won’t be topped for a very very long time!
