It's the distractions idea of things that concern me. The questions will be asked week in week out until a decision is made one way or another and I'd prefer us to move to avoid that.

I'm more concerned that we get on with rebuilding & upgrading the team personally & that the manager who will be doing that longer term, is in place soon as possible. But December wouldn't be long to wait for that decision. It's only like November in a 'normal' season.
Pep has said he wants to stay on 'if' he deserves it.

i hope he extends. its been a great few years with pep here. the football has been amazing.
how the club handle this, and the eventual departure of pep, will show us how well the club is run. changing over a manager who has been involved so deeply in the playing ethos and club progression becomes a cross to bear for the successor.
just think of the shit Arsenal and Utd had (still have) when their long term managers left (obviously, pep hasn't had that longevity, but he is as much an intrinsic part of the club now that his leaving will set alarm bells ringing inside and outside the club).
will we go for a similar style, or a manager with a completely different way of playing. how will the players adapt to the new coaching and playing techniques?
2 more years after next year and that's good enough for me, pep lad. then bring in David Silva to manage.

Human?At the end of the day pep is human like the rest of us. He can make mistakes, it is allowed. We make mistakes day in day out.
The way some posters have crucified him after Lyon was embarrassing, this bloke has gave me the best football and the most joy watching city ever in my near 40 years watching us, it isnt life or death that half have come across on here.
Give the guy some slack, he'll make up for it tenfold.
No time for humans, Pep out........

And still he drones on.We deservedly lost. We would have lost playing 433 as well and there's a whole season's worth of evidence to back it up.
I don't know if it's misplaced arrogance, or wilfull stupidity that makes you think this time, unlike all the other times we played similar teams, we'd have been fine, but it would be nice to hear your reasoning why Lyon wouldn't have done what United (twice), Wolves (twice) and Arsenal did to us instead of just screaming abuse like a child.
Well, Pep and the club could have agreed to keep this quiet but Cheesy once again got a scoop from his chatty super source.
I’m convinced Ian just posted his CAS tweet on the basis of the exoneration WhatsApp chain that was doing the rounds on here, with other posters saying the same thing before he tweeted out anything.
Now, after there was again activity on this forum with other users saying that Pep’s extended, he’s tweeted out another ‘scoop’ at a rather convenient time.
Call me cynical, but I genuinely think his source is bluemoon and he regurgitates it as his own.

Pour quoi?Twitter?
My Spanish is not very good, in fact i understand non of it.
Why? Maybe he needs time to think , he never extends contracts in JulyDecember!?
If that is at all true that telling me this is Peps last season.
And still he drones on.
And still you can't come up with any salient reasoning for why this game would have been any different to all the other games we lost playing sides like Lyon.

To be fair, they have improved a lot since Garcia took over.You keep telling yourself that. We were shite in a 343, 352 and only took control of the game when we went four at the back.
Also his starting line up was woeful and his substitutions (or lack of them) showed he shat it. That loss was entirely on Pep. They finished 7th in a farmers league ffs.
However, I still agree on the lineup.......
