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

[Paul lakes knee]

If true I can see Haaland going too next year. Retaining key players will be a more pressing issue.

Where? Won't be Madrid
I think he loves life at City

 

[Fordyboy46]

I was really hoping he would get another Champions League victory before going. Stacking up some Champions Leagues is the last leg of the project

He still might

Some won’t like this, but Arteta refusing to sign a new deal which finishes in 2025.

That's why people are linking him with City, if he doesn't sign a new Arsenal contract the speculation will intensify

Madrid don't need Haaland anymore with Mbappe & Endrick joining them.

Definite no for me. The Barcelona job is available although that won't be the wisest of career moves in their current state.

 

[Gordyola]

Totally agree but they are the love of his life and he will want to rebuild them, and he's probably rich enough to buy them out!!

No one can buy Barca it’s a members club and he isn’t a billionaire The issue that Pep had at Barca is the politics, it wore him out that’s why he left and it’s worse than ever now When the presidential elections are on candidates promise the earth to get elected, it’s such a prestigious position in Catalonia, this is the reason the club is in such dire straits I can’t see Pep returning in fact when asked he says my time at Barca is done.

Ye because we couldn't keep our top players before Pep came.

 

[Bluearmy]

Even if the story is true, Guardiola strikes me as quite an impulsive guy, so wouldn’t surprise me at all if he had a change of heart over the next 12 months.

Yeah, its been a long tuff season. The off the field stuff cant help either. Lets see his body language in July/August before we all go putting our heads in the Air Fryer

I definitely could see it happening

Does he have a buyout clause?

How many clubs could afford his transfer fee and salary?

Barcelona just sacked Xavi because he complained about finances, they are of the equation.

 

[Cobwebcat]

I would have thought that publicly City and Pep would leave an announcement until the end of next season if he were to leave. Ferguson and Klopp are good examples of how it’s not a good idea to annouce early.

 

[I'm Blue]

Also, Xabi Alonso will never come. He has a huge chance of being either Madrid or Liverpool next manager, and he will want that before managing us.

Pep could probably convince him.
He played under him at Bayern.

 

[Gordyola]

The media is on the Pep contract situation already that tw*t Ogden was on FiveLive putting all the negativity together to increase it ten fold It’s going to be the new narrative and will be relentless, Pep has to extend even if it’s just for show

 

[Gordyola]

Also, Xabi Alonso will never come. He has a huge chance of being either Madrid or Liverpool next manager, and he will want that before managing us.

Slot has gone already?
If Alonso was so keen on the scousers why did he not take up the offer a few weeks ago. He is to smart to allow his past club loyalty to influence his management career, not saying it won’t be a factor but there will be more in important ones coming first

If - big if - Pep is leaving and Arteta is in play we'd be insane not to ask the question. It's just about the best succession going.

Are you talking about the time he changed his mind or the time he actually retired?

 

[Axel Freed]

Jack Gaughan seems a nice enough chap when he’s on the blue moon podcast but pound to a penny he’s not got any more clue about when Pep’s leaving than the average fan does

It’s a made up story based on a common sense interpretation of information already in the public domain.

On that basis it’s not really news is it Jack

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

The club's 'expectation' currently may well be that Pep will leave at the end of the season. That isn't the same as them believing he will definitely leave then. Maybe he will see who goes and what new players we get in this summer and then decide if that motivates him to stay longer.

Or not. All to play for.

 

[cleavers]

Uh oh.

I'll wait to see what Khaldoon has to say.

Didn't look like a guy in a rush to leave tonight, it'll be 9 years this time next year, I think he'll hang on for 10, lets see what backing he gets this summer.

 

[Cobwebcat]

All non-City fans want Pep to go. Then they have a chance. I don’t blame them.
