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

[blueparrot]

Does it not worry you when they state this as the reason for joining?

We are Manchester City FC, not Pep FC for me it still paints us as a small time club riding the shirttails of a great manager.

All three of those players should have been jumping at the chance to join us 'whoever' the fucking manager was.

It pisses me right off tbh.

Very few players join because we are Manchester City, if any. They join any team because of reasons from wages, the chance to win trophies, the chance to play champions league, to play good football and improve as players, location. Everyone of those except wages and location are linked to who the manager is.
Not to say players wouldn’t stay, join and play under a different managers to Pep but they would need to be convinced by the new man, and those as attractive to players especially new foreign players as Pep are few.

Still not convinced it's in our best interest to renew.

That is a teaser.
In an ideal world what in your opinion should the club do ?
Some posters seem to want an end to what they see as Spanish domination within the hierarchy

Honestly no idea. It's like when we know we're going to need a new goalkeeper in a year's time and everyone thinks of the Ter Stegens and the Oblaks and then someone like Ederson who nobody was mentioning has a standout year and we end up going with them.

Oh it's none of that, I just think this particular project peaked a while ago and I don't see it returning to anywhere near those heights. Personally, I'd rather we just start with the next project instead of running this one into the ground.

Goes without saying that I'd be delighted to be proven wrong.

The project did peak and is renewing itself as we go, and will be close to complete next season once Aguero and Fernandinho are replaced. That renewal will be much the same same players whoever the coach is.
so then the question is who’s best to coach the renewed team. For me it will still be Pep.

That's fair enough. I can see that point of view but I don't share the same optimism.

To those criticising a rolling contract, can you elaborate exactly why you think it’s a bad thing?

If I recollect correctly, Pellegrini did state that the final year of his extension was kind of optional. If it's the same with Pep, we are not even sure he will be there next season.

Well, if he signs a rolling contract now we’ll be sure.

I hope Pep stays, for me the best manager we have ever had, i will always remember Joe Mercer and big Mal, but todays football is so different, with so many world class footballers from around the world, now in this country.
Pep could create a dynasty for our club, if he stays, I hope he does.

This season is so unfair, our players have had less rest than all of the other clubs, so it was going to be difficult, but we are getting into our stride, look at how many games we are playing, its crazy, Peps right , we should have had 5 subs, the reason the lesser clubs don't want it, is because it gives them the advantage, because they are not playing in Europe.

Pep will lead us through, I for one hope he stays for a very long time, give him Shares in the club, Tie him in for life.

If Pep gives us another 3 or 4 years that would be great news , we could then offer him a director of football position or maybe something overlooking the coaching of the whole CFG project , and then bring in a young coach like Nagelsmann , no doubt he would eventually like to return to Barca but he is invaluable to our football club and we must keep him involved at all costs.
