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

[bluetonium]

As a manager it is over.

Clearly he's open to going back in some other capacity. Whether that is now or in three years depends completely, in my opinion, on whether he and the players are enjoying it and thus performing.

I think it's hard for them to enjoy such a demanding schedule currently. I think more likely pep would retire from management, even temporarily, than return to Barca as manager now. There's one hell of a rebuilding job to be done there.

My concern would be that, like possibly also with messi, we hang on for one preferred outcome and neglect the bigger picture.

Cant wait for him to try and spin that lol, he is a troll

Font has already come out and said he will return but in other capacities. Its a never ending circus.. edit: Just seen others have posted Fonts tweet

Sounds like there's more chance of Delap starting vs Olympiacos than Pep going back to Barcelona.

Pep staying and we are getting a new number 10.

Totally unfair to ask a manager who already has a job about another job that isn't vacant.

 

[doobyedoobye]

I think he's far more likely to manage Girona than Barca in the future

When Senor pep is ready to tell us what he is going to do. be it staying or going I am sure that Pep will let the fans know as soon a she has spoken to the chairman and the board.

Ake whwn asked on pep's future:

"The manager has been so good for this club. That’s one of the reasons why I joined,"

"It would be good [if he stayed]. Obviously it is up to him. So far we focus on this season and trying to do our best. He is trying to win titles as well so we focus on that first."

Professional enough response. If pep was a big reason he signed, then some conversation beyond his hirst year must have taken place.

Either way, the media will circle with these questions more and more.

A well rehearsed,media savvy,reply.

I suspect all our players have been briefed to provide a similar response if asked.
