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

lets hope by the end of int. break (23rd of Nov) this will be sorted one way or the other.
 
Pep just needs new players to go again.

The aging squad is reminiscent of season one. Pep must decide if he has the stomach to build again.

If not we will have a new manager.

it’s not really a big drama, it’s football. We had the best and dominated for years, those players have gotten older and some have departed. City need to recruit again which won’t be easy at all going by the last few windows and our reluctance to spend.

We should be proud of how the club has grown over the last 10 + seasons. They have raised expectations and those expectations will need to be meet. I don’t think it’s ungrateful nor harsh to expect the club to continue to act like a big club. Iv said before, how long can we continue to look back and rest on success? Until we become the rags. This view is not because of one defeat but rather a worry that we are resting on our laurels, doesn’t work in football.

Climbing the mountain is fucking difficult but staying on top is even harder.

So yea just spend some fucking money on quality top tier players. Give the boss a team he can dominate with until he leaves. Anything else is taking him for granted

Very much doubt he will stay for more than a year but the rebuild will be longer than that.

Yes but that's not a rebuild.

Many regard the summer of 2017 as a rebuild and yet, of the players we signed that summer, it was only really Ederson and Walker who came straight into the team. Bernardo and Danilo didn't really feature properly until the following season and Mendy was out for all of it. Laporte came in January. Sometimes a couple of players really can make all the difference.

Over the summer we went from

Caballero
Sagna, Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov
Fernandinho
Sterling, De Bruyne, Silva, Sané
Aguero

to

Ederson
Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Delph
Fernandinho
Sterling, De Bruyne, Silva, Sané
Aguero

No major difference except at GK and full-back. It was just a necessary refresh that felt like a rebuild. No reason why 2/3 signings couldn't make all the difference for us, especially if Rodri comes back at his best as an added bonus.

I'm not convinced that Pep extending by one year is necessarily a good thing, as we've got Walker Gundogan and Walker all with their best years behind them, plus 3-4 others who have either lost their hunger or aren't quite good enough


It will need a complete overhaul so I'd rather he commits for 3 years or leaves with our gratitude and allows somebody else to grasp the opportunity

That's not based around the Bournemouth defeat. It's more a sense that the longer we delay, the more we risk the chance of it going completely tits up.
 
We've 9 players who are 30, or 30+, which does include 3 goalkeepers tbf along with 3 players aged 29.

At some stage we are going to have to either shit or get off the pot with regards the 1st team squad, and a rebuild happens either under Pep or his successor.

Hopefully part of the rebuild includes players from the Academy that are good enough. CTID
