This current cycle is nearly over. Silva and Kun are leaving/close to leaving. We have a great young core but need 3 or 4 big signings. If Pep is only commited to the end of next season it might be best to give Poch control prior to making those signings. We need long term commitment.Who knows what Pep will ultimately decide. I don't know your source... but, really...? Do you honestly think that Pep has confided to anyone at all whether or not he'll stay beyond this year? I rather suspect that Pep himself hasn't made up his mind.
That said, it wouldn't surprise me if he moves on - as his pattern has been to stay with a club for 3 or 4 years and then 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
Is a one year extension to Pep's contract the only offering? If so, then, yeah, maybe...This current cycle is nearly over. Silva and Kun are leaving/close to leaving.

I am surprised to hear so much noise about Pep supposedly leaving early.
He has repeatedly said he would see out his contract ie stay until the end of next season and he does seem to be a man of his word.
The way he celebrated the second goal yesterday suggests he still has massive passion for this club and I sincerely hope he stays on.
The Basque like nothing more than a fight and he most certainly has one on his hands he is likely to win (I am not referring to the PL obviously...)
Let’s pray he stays longer and we can keep enjoying this magnificent football.

It's a shame he isn't Basque then.
Blue on twitter saying that Pep will sign 5 year contract extensionThe comment I heard yesterday was a real bolt from the blue for me and was un-solicited... that's why it was so worrying
