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

Yep, only this. He turned City and Pep down previously to replace Arteta and stay at Sociedad.

Clearly a man with principles and loyalty.

For me, Alonso would be the wrong choice. He would be linked with Real every summer he was in England.

He has Madrid written all over him after Ancelotti.

I'd like Ancelotti next summer, personally. A class act.

I agree that Ancelotti is a class act but he wouldn't be my choice because I think he often underachieves in the league and I'm not convinced he is the right choice stylistically. He might add a few UCL's though!

I get what you say about Alonso but, if he is not a flash in the pan, the set-up at City might suit him very well and have a similar effect to what it has had on Pep.

I would love Ancelotti to come in after Pep. It could be similar to Pellegrini, not a long-term appointment, but would still be ambitious and when he's ready to leave one of the current crop of young, ambitious managers should be ready to take up the reigns... Vincent Kompany, maybe?

He succeeded Pep at Bayern and was a disaster. He would be too much of a culture change to follow him again.

Doesn’t matter because Carlo has just announced he’s retiring after RM!

Madrid basically have one competitor in La Liga, it's not far off the Scottish league in jeopardy, they can go easy in the league, that's why their champions league record is so good. Ancelotti would be a no from me although I respect his accomplishments.

Watching Nasal lose at the French Open should remind everyone that legends lose their juice at some point.

Pep just needs to lie in the shade for at least a year after his time is done with City.

I'm fried after these nine years, so goodness knows how Pep must feel being in charge of it all!!

I actually think the time is nearing where the fanbase needs a reset? I've smelt it even from myself.

Left right on the whistle at Wembley, didn't go to the parade...

I appreciate Pep and the team so much, but I'm starting to crave chicken rather than guaranteed steak every night :(

I want to keep winning everything but maybe in a different way and style, have more risk to our play?

I came away from Wembley and three hours later I was home and over it.

Losing to United in a Cup Final and over it? That's not me, it should never be me.

I agree with this , losing Pep will be a tough one to move on from but a clean break with a fresh mindset will be what we need to get over it

im just worried how me manage the comms on it going into next season. The longer he doesn’t commit the louder the noise around it. It could potentially become a hinderance to our performance on the pitch

we would need to announce officially around March at the latest but is complicated by who his replacement would be. Ancellotti would be a good move as his contract is up anyway so would antagonise the club we are recruiting from

hed be a safe pair of hands for a couple of seasons
