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

[Mancity1980]

I’m not taken in by any media, wouldn’t dream of listening to talksport as it’s pretty clear what their agenda is. I’m simply saying we need to improve next season and it’s a very big one. Another season like last with yet another failure in Europe and only 2 league titles with this squad and these resources is below what Pep should be achieving.

I don’t think saying he and us need to improve next season otherwise it takes the gloss off what has been and still can an amazing period of dominance for us. If it goes 2/2 with the scousers since Pep has been here and no European cup who’s done the better job?

Just to be clear here. You as a Manchester City fan are suggesting Klopp has done a better job than Pep?

Pep is a genius no doubt about it but his overthinking against Leon does him no favours.big crunch time for city regarding rebuilding the squad & the rebuild needs a manager who is going to commit to the club for next three years.maybe personal circumstances & a lack of hunger may leave pep with no option but to leave

You wish

Leon, the professional?

I’m a bit confused re the rumours that we’ll just let Pep run his contract down and move to a rolling 12 month contract. I understand there’s a good bond between the club Execs and Pep but, in any walk of life you need to show commitment- and it works both ways. Call me old fashioned but I’d like to see the club back Peo to the hilt in the transfer market and offer him at least a two year deal and Pep to reciprocate by signing up - how can we expect players to commit when the boss hasn’t. All clubs need stability and a strategy that runs across more than one season. I really don’t think working to an agenda of one season at a time is healthy for anyone and is fraught with difficulties.

Of course it'll sit with the club for a long time. They still talk on BT sports and sky about our gutless performance in Madrid in the semi final 5 years ago. Before the Lyon game, they were banging on about Monaco, Liverpool and Tottenham. This'll simply be tagged onto the end of their montage.

They still talk on BT - nuff said

Not sure anyone could have made a worse job of that Lyon game myself

Whilst I’d agree, he did make somewhat of a Horlicks out of it, I do find it frustrating that teams rarely seem to miss chances against us but continually do against other teams. Teams missed a host of chances against Liverpool last season in the league and the season before in the CL (and its not a criticism), Lyon should have been a couple up before Munich scored, Barca could have been 3-1 up against the self same Munich, Atalanta missed a sitter to go 2-0 against PSG. We continually concede the fewest chances and seem to have a hugely disproportionately number of ‘worldies’ scored against us as well. Cornet never scores but has scored 4 against us for Lyon. Leicester right back hasn’t scored since he broke the net against us 2 seasons ago and I’m not sure that Townsend has either, since his goal of the season effort.
Not only that, but any mistake we make is often ’fatal’, think back to Southampton (another player who’d never scored before), the Lyon goals were largely self inflicted as have been many over the last few seasons.
City on the other hand squander chance after chance and that’s the bit I get frustrated by the most. It’s almost as if our players think that it doesn’t really matter as there’ll be another chance along in a minute whereas the opposition think that we’d better take anything that comes our way because there won’t be much on offer.
Pep references being much more clinical in BOTH boxes and he’s absolutely right. If we were, we would be pretty much unstoppable and I don’t think that would be the case under any other manager. As for anyone wanting him to leave, be very careful what you wish for.....

Why does it have to be about Klopp being better than Pep? Both managers have done incredibly well for the their clubs in what is for both sides unpresedented success. Why therefore do we need to judge it on one is successful and the other is a failure? If Pep wins the league and CL next season, does that make Klopp a failure? No, he will still go down in liverpool history as one of their best ever managers.

Pep will go down is history as the best manager we have ever had. He has delivered the best football the PL has ever seen and set a new bar for what is considered great. Nothing should detract from that in the bigger picture.
