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

[Fordyboy46]

It really is the elephant in the room this situation. My gut instinct is that the players already know his decision and he's calling it a day after the summer tournament. I'm expecting news in this international break

He may be waiting to see if this team still wants to play for him. It's at least possible. He'll know by December, for sure.

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

There will be no Decision on peps future until after these charges, its obviously linked. How can he make a decision when he may not fancy managing in league 2 as media would have us believe

The obvious flaw in that argument is that in all likelihood the panel won't deliver a judgement for several months. If they wait for that then the club has no chance of getting a top level replacement if he's off.

Imagine a pitch to Alonso, Nagelsmann or whoever along the lines of 'We don't know if Pep will leave or not but if he did would you be interested in being our new manager?'

Edit

Obviously you can turn that round by saying that a pitch to potential replacements as above wouldn't be great if it was 'We don't know if we will start next season in the Premier League or the North West Counties League but are you interested in being our new manager?' :)

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Exactly this. There will be no announcement until after the verdict and it’s hard to blame him for waiting tbh.

Exactly. How can people not see this. How can the man make a decision if he doesn't know the outcome of case

The 115 Brigades mission is falling into place. Even if they lose they win because they have tarnished the brand and diminished the achievements. The longer they drag it out the more we bleed.

Maybe because the team had set a new record in winning Pep now wants to see how it feels to lose 10 on the bounce

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Hanging over us like a bad fucking smell.

He’s giving us the Bayern vagueries.

Think he’s gone in summer and players know it.

Just wish they’d tell us so we can try to rebuild.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

There's some depressing fuckers on here but, this time the fanny wipes could be right.

End of the best era of any team ever.

Let's go again!!!!

So, if they tell “us” - how would it help the club rebuild??

If city loose big they will appeal could drag on till season finished.
