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

[simon23]

I expect PiGMOL will do to us what they did to get rid of Mourinho at Chelsea if they get wind he's leaving. They wouldn't want him going out on a high.

Expect lots of what the fuck decisions on the first 10 matches.


I don't think he will mind.

He has unfinished business with us.

Talk about conspiracy theorires

The season is still weeks away from starting for christ's sake

The best possible news this summer would still be a new long term contract, allowing him to build a new side with some younger players over the next 2 or 3 windows

I'm glad to hear him talk about a lack of pace at the back. If we can solve that and revitalise the middle of the park (eg. Thiago AND Aouar) last night's mess will become a distant memory

I missed that Pep corker about pace at the back after spending fuck knows what on attacking fullbacks.

What about a bit of pace in the middle, maybe a Hare to compliment his Slug,and Tortoise ?.

Those two should do advertisements for walking football for pensioners.

It'll be a downgrade whoever it is.

 

[Del_Bosque]

The more of his players we get in the squad the worse we become

 

[chesterbells]

Hope he stays. He's the best about and I'd love to see him given the chance to right the wrongs of this season.
I'd like to think the club won't be as mental as a fair few fans and overreact to an admittedly poor performance.

Yep, the phrase "be careful what you wish for" springs to mind.

I dont want Pep to go at all but he will leave at some point....what about Bielsa at Leeds? Pep seems to rate him very highly which cant be a bad thing to start with.

Or the Flick guy at Bayern (is that his name?) - that would really piss them off!

Poch is an Espanyol man so I can’t see him going to Barcelona.

I guess I’d take him at a push although he doesn’t win trophies.

 

[RayCTID]

If the rumours are true it's Pochettino, many whispers we have paid him a retainer (true or not, who knows)

If he is the man the club think is right, they have a big decision to make and very quickly.

Barca job is available.

Pep would be mad to go back to Barcelona, Poch would be dangerous considering his Espanyol links and our current board's past links to their rivals.

As a club we need to flex our muscles a bit, we need to start cleaning our image up, take on a few of these so called journalists, speak to BT & Sky ,throw our weight around a bit
because if you dont take yourself seriously then you cant expect others too take you seriously. Pep has to get out of this mindset that he is helping a small club to over achieve, But the club has to get out of this appeasement mindset we have adopted as well. If you want to be a big club you have to act like a big club .

How about seeing if we can lure Roberto back...
