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

You use the word rubbish, that sums your post up perfectly.

Explain why. Who would you appoint instead of Kompany? I've made a suggestion of Vieira because he was an influential player at the club despite being at the end of his career. I also like Thomas Tuchel at PSG.

Much as I love Pep, the sad fact is that Pellegrini did better in the CL for us than Pep has.

There is far more to managing than spending money. They need to see how Vinny is tactically and how we sets his teams up. Maybe his philosophy is different to how the club want to move forward. Vinny was a great leader and player. We don't know how he will be as a "head coach" - The managers role now is around how they coach the team and set the strategy to play football.

I have no opinion on Vinny as a manager yet. My heart would love him to come back here but my head currently says no.

Vinny has recently turned down working with Pep. What better place was there for him to learn that working with one of the if not the best.

Remember Bryan Robson and even Roy Keane - failed as managers, were great leaders of men

If he does well with Anderlect, definately.

In the sense he got one round further, before freezing and doing the exact same thing pep did against lyon?

Doing better wouldn’t mean winning it if you don’t win it doesn’t matter when you go out.

This last season there was only two teams that could win the title, us and Liverpool.

The Premier league is at its weakest in terms of competition.

To finish 18 points behind the scousers was a very poor performance.

Please advise the last time there was 3+ horse race in the PL?

Teams that took points off us like Wolves have only consolidated further since promotion so I would baulk at the assertion the PL is at its weakest.

United took us for 6 also, surely a sign they have improved. The only obvious backslider is Spurs and they took 5 off us.

As I said it’s not enough to do well, others must do badly.

Last season was the worst premiership for years, it was poor.

Chelsea, United, Arsenal and Spurs all had their worst teams for many a year.
