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

[Coatigan]

I thought City had come out with a statement to the effect that they have not been interested in Amorim & furthermore, both Dippers & West Ham looked at him but turned him down??

City came out with no statements.

I think he was on our radar, but his style is not really akin to Pep's - he's more of a Maureen tactically - low block against the better sides, and we lost interest. We don't do low blocks (not in our chemistry) - no matter how many attacking superstars we have to face.

Amorin was never mentioned linked with us until their director of football was coming , then all the amateur experts put 2 & 2 together to asume he would come here.

He spoke to west ham, but they wouldn't pay the release fee as sulivan a skinflint and liverpool, though linked opted for slot.

Not that it matters as the rag press will claim he rejected them and us.

I don't think this appointment has any bearing on Peps contract to get back on topic, but I think he will extend

City came out with no statements.

Probably thinking about all the reports from “sources” saying we weren’t interested because of his style of play such as:


But per reporter Ben Jacobs, Man City viewed Amorim as a poor fit stylistically for the foundations Guardiola has laid.

Taking to X, Jacobs wrote: “Understand there was never any genuine Man City interest or approach. City want Pep Guardiola to stay and despite the arrival of Hugo Viana, don’t view Amorim as a stylistic fit despite respect for his success at Sporting.”

Pep letting it slip in the embargoed press conference?

Asked if next season he'd want a bigger squad given the injuries he says yes if he knows we're going to have 7 or 8 injuries, he'll ask for more players.

Now that may be a pinch of pep irony, but he certainly didn't say anything about not speaking about next season.

Win the next two games and he’s signing on the line for 2 years.

He needs to sign for 2 years or go.

This team is close to its end & it’s been an incredible journey but business is business

I hope he signs for 3 years and builds us a new team before leaving us

2 years is the best you can hope for.

Pep can only work with what he’s got, Txiki has failed to improve the midfield situation year on year.

It's "Pep out" night, hurrah.
