No chance. How could we sports wash anything then????

As everyone knows, our hands are covered in oil. How could you wash anything?

Anybody notice how fans of other clubs say that as if “oil” were a synonym for “blood”. Financing your club with pork butcher money (i.e. the Edwards dynasty) or pools money (Liverpool) is somehow inherently noble. I've yet to hear a coherent explanation on that one.

Not sure how true it is but I'm hearing that next season will be Pep's last with us and he'll be taking over as manager of New York City FC. De Bruyne possibly going there too.

If it comes, it comes. Be nice to round it off to 10, be nice to go even longer. But at some point it will come and I am totally ok with it. Hopefully a strong finish whenever it happens.

I think he will get a new burst of energy next year though, and a new challenge to motivate him and the players.

I previously believed he would stay beyond next season, after his comments yesterday I'm resigned to the fact that next season will be his last with us.

I do wonder if we’re doing some groundwork on Xabi Alonso and that’s why he decided to stay at Leverkusen.

I think he decided to stay, because he wanted to stay. And it is very admirable.

I don't think there has been any contact or 'groundwork', or if there was that it affected his decision. That doesn't mean I think it may not happen in the future, just that I think his reason for staying was simple and fairly pure. He will know options will be there for him, whether it is us, Real, or Bayern/Liverpool.

Possibly, but too early to say imo. We've heard this script before, and one day it will happen, but so far it has ended in extensions. Towards the end of this year is when it will start to become clearer.

First hand info or did you get that from @tolmie's hairdoo 's Twitter?

I normally tend to believe what he says, or at least give him the benefit of the doubt, but I am struggling with that one. Guardiola's wife is in Barcelona running her own fashion business isn't she? I find it hard to believe he would go that far away. And yes, I know she can run a fashion business in NY, but she could do that in London as well and hasn't? Also, what is the challenge there? He won't be able to get what he himself says he needs to be successful. I just don't see it.

My money would still be on him renewing each year until the players are pooped, then sabbatical. Maybe Italy after that. Can you imagine the Italians playing the Guardiola way? Revolutionary. Doubt he would get the structure he would need, though. Can't see him in international management. It would drive him nuts.

Anyway, what the hell do I know? :)
