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

[come-on-barney]

Fantastic news, the players that don’t want to ‘follow’ can be shipped out in the Summer. Pep knows who they are, and we will move them on. I do wonder if he will be here for the two years, then take the Brazil job for the 2030 World Cup in Europe including Spain. It’s also their centenary year. If he stays until 2026, we have our rebuild, and the players bought will be to fit our way of playing and not for the next manager. The next manager will need to fit the way we play. I don’t see where he goes after one year unless he takes a break. Hope he takes this season to work out the next transformation of his tactics, and be ready to go for the next two seasons ahead. Also think having Viana bringing a different perspective on players he will enjoy as well. Freshens things up. A lovely way to start the day, and the atmosphere is going to be something on Saturday. Cause we’ve got…

But the Rags say they beat us to Amorim!

They'd have said the same had they signed Ian Holloway.

 

[The perfect fumble]

They just reported it on BBC Breakfast and the tag line was at least Manchester City fans will be happy. It was like they were announcing a death.

That's a backhanded compliment to just how good he is.

Brilliant news. Allows the club to manage the transition from Txiki to Hugo and deal with the CWC and a new season. If he does then leave the following summer there's a proper window for someone to come in and the club has a summer window to address any current issues in the squad so it's ready to go. There's a World Cup but get our business done early and we'll be fine.

Collymore: Deluded Guardiola to return to Spain with his tail between his legs - MARCA in English

Manchester City's recent slump in form has seen Pep Guardiola come under fire from sections of the British media, with well-known pundit Stan...

Finally got round to looking up the word “pundit” in the Oxford English Dictionary. The commonly accepted meaning, granted, is “a person who knows a lot about a subject and is often asked to give information or opinions about it to the public” (Collins Cobuild) or “an authority, or a person who believes that they are an authority” (Penguin English Dictionary).
As I suspected, it comes from the Hindi pandit, meaning “a learned Hindu” which in turn derives from the Sanskrit, pandita, “learned, skilled”.

To associate this word with utter pea-brained no-marks like Collymore is a travesty.
