You're spot on - the notion that we improved after it was announced Pellegrino was to be replaced by Pep in the close season is simply bollocks

Pellegrino!
Didn't a certain manager cause a bit of controversy when he called him that?

i remember Pardew calling him a " fucking old twat " on the touchline once.

That really annoyed me as I was born on the same day as Manuel!

Not necessarily. He started out in 2016 with a three-year deal, and the fact that he's previously signed several extensions didn't mean he left when they were due to expire. He'll leave when he feels he needs a break or a change of scenery, or when he thinks the players are no longer responding to his methods. Personally, I'd like to think he'll at least celebrate a decade with us - and maybe even stay a year or two beyond that, but you never know until it happens.

Exactly. He's stayed longer than most expected and there is not a better club out there for him. Quite clearly he has a family situation that may dicate when he leaves more than football matters will.

I do wonder if he will end his club management career at City and take a break and them try his hand with an international team.

Does my head in having to keep explaining this.

No plan fucking B etc

Ditto.

"He doesn't understand Manchester" I got told on here once.

Man, the number of times I've seen criticism of his team selections for the Derby if the result goes against us accompanied with he doesn't get what it means....

He might want to have a go at that. I suspect that it might not work out that brilliantly as I think his methods take a substantial amount of time for players to get into. You don't have that as a national coach.

Have the biased cu nt media ignored this generly?

The irony being that the posters who say he doesn’t understand the derby are ones who actually don’t understand what it now means.
