Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

[bell_mcfc]

If true that Pep and Txiki will leave at the same time it’s more likely to hear about it in advance from Txiki side no?

I do think there is something going on with Alonso. He’s staying because they have won the league, fair enough. But he’ll have 1 eye on City/Madrid jobs. If he wanted the Bayern or Liverpool job he could have had it. If he still wants one more year at Leverkusen and doesn’t want to leave after the first league win the appointments of Bayern and Liverpool will say a lot. Short term vs long term.

1st choice is Pep resigns
2nd choice is Xabi Alonso
3rd choice is Michel

In my opinion.

Demichelis could be a great choice for Girona if it’s Michel for City.

Bloody hell had my hopes up till I had to go back hundreds of pages to find it was last peps extension in 2022.

I would be amazed if the rumours of Tixki are true, even more so with Omar going to the rags.

If he had any idea the little fella was leaving he would not have gone to the dark side.

Or they are true and Omar was told he'd reached his ceiling with us as we had/have someone else lined up for Tixki's job? That said, people like Omar don't leave overnight so the above would depend on timescales. Are Tixki & Pep both bowing out in 2025 for starters?

Wouldn't be a trip to Wembley without manager speculation.

I think that’s a bit of a simplistic way to look at it - I suspect he decided to leave as he was being offered a clean slate there to build a club and a ‘legacy’ for himself.

If he replaced Txiki, it would’ve still been seen as Txiki’s team.

As said a few pages ago, journos close to Guardiola said last summer that both would go in Summer 25 so it’s not a new story.

I do think there is something going on with Alonso.

Nailed on to go to Bayern with Wirtz.

And we will have people in place to replace them can't see our owner scratching around like the scum for a manager or director of football!

I don't think he would want that type of heat from the dippers and their media machinery. He knows how things work here, it would be similar to him choosing to manage Barca back home

People forget we won the league with 2 different managers before pep arrived
The club and owners are bigger than one person

 

[Bald fraud]

Xavi Alonso would do for me if Pep leaves, wonder if he’s turned down the dippers as he wants the City job if and when Pep does leave?

I’ve been thinking this. I reckon peps told him how well the club is run. It’s clear pep has enjoyed the city job more than Bayern anyway
