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

I said it after the arsenal game and have been worried by it all season but you can't really say much on here without getting pelters. The signs are so obvious it's hilarious others don't see it.

Like Mourinho the stubbornness and total belief in what he is doing was once a great strength but is now killing him. His time has passed unless he changes but he cannot see it. Neither can our own supporters.

We will win plenty of games next season with him in charge because of the ability of our players. We will also lose more than we should. If he doesn't adapt him being here next year will be a big mistake.

Completely agree, maybe Pep has peaked as a football manager, the game constantly changes and evolves.

Fergusson, Jose, Wenger were all greats but ended up shadows of themselves.

Is Pep a flat track bully? there is an argument there.
 
Irrelevant of which side of the fence we sit on. We need Pep to either sign an extension prior to next month/season or we should part ways, the performance in both semis since the return to football seem to point to a parting of the ways, bobbing along for 12 months (although it seems to work at Chelsea) shouldn't be an option.

Td;lr sign up for the long-term or ship out. No middle ground.

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.

He is another bottle job.

CL final, benching Lucas Moura after scoring a hat trick for a half fit Harry Kane who hasn’t played in months.

If we want to win the CL it won’t be with him.

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 .

Personally I’d sooner we flexed our muscles in the transfer market - fuck the media just try to be the best.

Your point is valid but Peps not finished. Stick with him and we’ll be great again.

His constant "were are not yet ready to win the Champions league" or " we have little of no history in europe" is pissing me off.
We as a club have spent hundreds of millions on the world's best players, have the best facilities available, have hired the "world's best coach" yet he knocks us down all the time, why?

If I was Khaldoon, baldy would be in my office Monday morning for a serious chat, and sign on the dotted line (contract extension) or adios and gracias.

Have to agree. It's fine not over-egging your achievements but when he's regularly quoted as saying we need to develop to get to where "big clubs like Arsenal and United are in the UCL" it's entirely unnecessary and untrue. We passed Arsenal and United in terms of our readiness to win the UCL years ago. Not one of the current United or Arsenal squad were there when those teams last played in a Champs League final. By constantly playing us as the underdog and the team who haven't done it yet, it does nothing for the players' esteem and confidence. I see no sense in underestimating a team like Lyon but they must take confidence from a manager who seems very unsure (publicly at least) of his own team's chances of success and lifting the trophy.
Either Pep learns quickly from the weaknesses exploited by both Arsenal and Lyon in recent weeks or he needs to be moved aside. Living off past glories won't cut it.

That as well, if a hundred million gets you the best striker then slap the cash down, all part of throwing the weight around and being a big club.
