If the information you’ve received is true, and I hope it’s not, let’s just hope that the club have a pre-contract agreement with Pochetinno.

My source was not a club employee but I trust him and if he quite openly commented it was either from within the club (he mentioned hearing the same story from multiple sources) and true or it's reverse psychology to raise the ante and make a Pep extension massive news... I hope it's the latter but fear the former
Hope you are right re upping the ante but if this is coming from multiple sources it’ll be on the back pages anytime soon and used to massively undermine both Pep and the club.

Nothing personal mate, and thanks for sharing, but your post reads a little bit like a "covered all the bases so I can't be called out on it either way" here. If he stays "I said it could be a smokescreen" if he goes "I told you in January" etc.
Fwiw if he won't extend he has to go at the end of the season or we can write next year off as the speculation will hamper efforts in the transfer windows.
If he stays, that's fine too, but he has to extend if he wants to stay.

It's a shit-sandwich that's for sure... Just when I thought things couldn't get any more challenging for us...Hope you are right re upping the ante but if this is coming from multiple sources it’ll be on the back pages anytime soon and used to massively undermine both Pep and the club.

Need to finish the season. Try to win some silverware and then resolve this properly. Probably best that Pep renews for 3 or goes. Don’t think indecision is good for the club.
I believe that City and Pep will review in the Summer. I feel it's quite likely he will extend his deal. Arteta leaving is a big pointer to that because had Pep been intent on leaving in 12 months, I think he'd have intimated that to Arteta.

I want Pep to stay so it's with a heavy heart that I said anything at all.. I added the double bluff bit because I want it to be the case, that the rumour is BS but it's from somebody I see as a person who is totally loyal to the cause... a dyed in the wool blueNothing personal mate, and thanks for sharing, but your post reads a little bit like a "covered all the bases so I can't be called out on it either way" here.

I hope you are right Marvin, I asked the guy yesterday why didn't Arteta stay then and go for the job if Pep is going.. because Poch is already on-board was the replyI believe that City and Pep will review in the Summer.

If Pep was staying or not I don't think Txiki would have handed it over to Arteta. A step far too soon for him.
The talk of poch could well be true, did someone not report we have paid him a fee to keep him from taking a job at least till the summer?
If Pep wins the CL I think he will leave.

That would make this less of a bitter pill for me... but we agreed yesterday that it's a long shot.. the "source" didn't see us getting past RM
