Pep to leave at the end of the season

Back home now and it all feels a bit odd, flat I think.

It doesn't seem right that Pep has gone and won't be in the dugout next season. 10 years is a long time to spend with someone in football, to invest all those emotions, to watch all those games, to win all those trophies, to cheer for all those goals. It's been an amazing 10 years, in-cred-ible even.

Cheers Pep, put your feet up for a bit and enjoy a glass of wine in the sun. Thanks for everything you have given us. I rarely drink but I think tonight I need something.
 
That was a weird experience - can't think of seeing a manager go that I didn't want to leave before. There's been plenty I've wanted rid of within 10 games, never mind 10 years.

I never dreamt of the level of sustained success he brought us - averaging 2 trophies a season for a decade I never dreamed I'd consider 2nd and both domestic cups as a 'bad' season after so many years where I'd have been thrilled with a quarter final. The standards he's created across the club will last for years and I can only hope the next manager has half as much success.

Thank you, Pep. It was fucking fun.

What an emotional few days and we've got it all to do again tomorrow. Would have liked the ex-players to have done the lap of honour with the team and even though we have a parade tomorrow im a firm believer any trophies won should be on show in the end of season lap of honour. There will be fans not there tomorrow for whatever reason and also keep showing them off and be proud and remind everyone what we won.

The send offs were excellent, the videos of past players was brilliant especially Agueros and now you're legends just like me comment. Thought Pep should have brought his Dad and family onto the pitch but his comments about the family name always being there was very moving. Whatever the outsiders say about this club those of us inside know just how much we are a family and we do things right.

Finally I'm 'glad it's all over' and we can move on to a new chapter. I watched us press Villa in the second half and how they passed it around us and out for an attack and we had no answer and I thought to myself we used to do that to teams. But we haven't for two seasons now and it's testament to Guardiola how good he is that we've managed to win two trophies and be the only team to push Arsenal. Im excited to see what Maresca can do and know he will have the best tools to work with. What awaits us these next few years who knows but one things for sure Mancheater City are not going away!

Fantastic post Josh. Hopefully bump into you tomorrow.
 
I know there is a conversation about who is the greatest ever manager, the way I see it is one option was a Genuinely Horrible Person & A Bully who ruled with Fear,
The other was a Genuinely Decent Bloke who ruled with Respect gained,
I know which one I would sooner my Club be associated with, Thanks Pep You are a true Football Legend.
