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

[Jazzman]

Going off some people on here we should doubt pep because we are not top of league

We have to get our expectations right. The only sensible thing is to let the man work and build the team he needs. And we are still only 3 points of the 2nd place.

I'm suggesting that Pep is not God and if he can't deliver, he goes.

Nobody would disagree, but most will wait more than one season, and wait until he has the squad he wants before making a judgement.

Yep. I dont question the decision to let hart go, but the recruitment of bravo is looking like its not working out at the moment. Apart from the derby, he started well, so hopefully when tue rest of the team play better, his confidence will shoot up. We cannot doubt pep based on one dodgy signing, its ridiculous

Especially when that dodgy signing is actually someone previously proven at the highest level. I'm at a loss to understand why he's looked so average here. I know some people questioned the signing at the time, but that was usually out of loyalty to Joe Hart rather than doubting Bravo's credentials.

Wot?
Is that your conversion on the road to Damascus?

Are they in the Champions League.?

 

[Sheriff Fatman]

Your completely right of course, Fuck it lets sack him and get fat Sam in as he knows how the prem works

Not sure I said sack him. I asked for a factual, evidence based view on what improvement I'm missing.

Happy to be corrected but apart from the odd exception there's more bad than good in our game at the moment.

That's right. Bravo is a well known really good keeper, so he really should be better for us. Maybe we just have to be more patient.

It was factually explained to you a page or so after I posted

"Aging squad" - can't get away from this phrase today - I'm guessing you heard it on talk shite / sky / 909

Don't watch, listen to or read any of those.

The core of our squad were from Mancini's era, that they are aging can't be (and isn't) disputable.

and decided you'd repeat it ad nauseam ad infinitum; makes sense really, your opinions seem to be of the mainstream unexamined variety.

Not much original thinking here. I'm guessing nobody every accused you of being an intellectual.

Ad homenim to further degrade your nonsensical rantings. How entirely unsurprising.

I'm not negative. Reread my opinions.

You are negative. You have been negative in every single City thread you've posted in, even following victories. That anyone could be negative following our come-from-behind victory against Arsenal or the first time we beat Barcelona, beggars belief. You did. That makes me feel you're negative. Or a rag. Both?

I'm suggesting that Pep is not God and if he can't deliver, he goes. Why does that upset you so much? It's simple common sense.

Nobody disagrees with this.

The difference between you and anyone else is that most accept that he has to be given time to deliver, certainly longer than the half a season you've waited to vomit your negative bile all over this forum.

Seems the club agrees. Sorry.

But the problem is you could say the same thing about the home games against the blue dippers,saints,boro and chavs.
When it's a one off you can claim bad luck,rub of the green etc.
When it becomes a pattern then that is indicative of a more fundamental problem with the team.
And boy do we have one at the moment.

I never said it was bad luck, it's a problem with the finishing up front, and it's undermining the confidence of the rest of the team. When Otamendi, Stones, Clichy, Bravo see the forwards miss a load of chances what do you think is going through their heads? "the home games against the blue dippers,saints,boro and chavs."

Pep is accepted as being one of the best coaches in world football. I am pleased he is looking to sign an extension and the club are backing him. He does look under pressure at the moment.

My concern is we do not strengthen this window, and miss out on CL next season. Even Gabriel Jesus is not certain to be with us at the end of the transfer widow!

I`m not certain he`s under pressure,PS.I see it ,more out of frustration and maybe he`s decided to bite his tongue when talking to the media.I`ve yet to hear him slag off any City player which shows that he keeps things between himself and those players,for private discussions.I bet that yesterday he was really pissed off.
