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

Really_here said:
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe on Pep Guardiola signing a new contract with Manchester City: "I was delighted to see that. On a serious note, I think he's contributed so much to English football. I think he's revolutionised how a lot of teams play. I think he's incredibly talented and I think it's good for the English game that he's still here.

"He will continue to develop and evolve his style and people will potentially continue to follow that. From the competition side, I think it keeps the Premier League as the best game in the world."


good on Eddie

Always liked Edward.

His ability to simultaneously look his age and like an 11 year old on a school photo has always enthralled me.
 
The way he made a point about our poor recent form and how he's determined to turn it around, rather than leaving the club in the shit, says a lot about him as a man.

He is the polar opposite of old baconface in that sense, who, perhaps deliberately, left the rags in a shocking position when he called it a day.

We are incredibly fortunate to call him our manager.

Seems like they've took the news well over on the old Red Cafe.

This was taken from the thread ''Pep Guardiola sack watch" lol.

'The most logical reason behind pep signing a new deal is that he knows City are going to be rightfully relegated and he wants to prove he can achieve something with them that is actually their level, a playoff push in the championship perhaps.

Pep is no fool, he knows as well as the rest of us do that every single thing city have ever “won*” essentially doesn’t count because it was achieved through financial doping and cheating.'

Stone: why 2 years and not 1?
Pep: The weather. Aka fuck off Stone.

It blows my mind that some insignificant creature like Simon Stone has the outright privilege to speak directly to one of the greatest managers of all time, and he uses that opportunity to ask snide questions or aim cheap, derisory digs. Pep treats him with the contempt he deserves and rightly so but no one benefits from these interactions. Worse still is that Stone works for the BBC. How he landed and remains in that job is a mystery.

simon stone reports the news by saying...

"As a manager, Guardiola will forever be entwined with that great Barcelona side including Lionel Messi that won two Champions Leagues in three seasons and has gone down as one of the greatest of all time.

His achievements at City will not eclipse those."

Stone is a filthy cock sucker
 
Just isn't needed is it. That Barca side I still feel are the best club team I have ever watched. His time at City is riddled with success and good football too though. When he retires City will be the first club they speak of.

It’s not too much of a mystery when you consider he’s a rag

It isn't negative, it is putting a scenario out there. It was widely reported it was only a year, if he was planning to leave at the end of next season then it puts to bed all this nonsense we have had being in the last year of his contract. Judging by his comments he was very close to calling it quits this year. He may feel it is easier next year without all of the noise surrounding his future with him signing for 2 years. We all hope that isn't the case, as blues we are wired to fear the worst no? A rebuild this summer, a successful season next year where he can fly off into the sunset after a nice round 10 years and us on top.

P.S I hope he stays forever

You havent disappointed me with your lukewarm reaction, lol
 
Interesting line in Pep's presser.

'I want to stay two more years, but if I am not good enough I will not be here. Same as the players'.

TENSIONS, aye.

Exciting times, knows a squad refresh is needed and doesn't wanna leave the next guy with the issue.

The future is still blue :)

The next guy will be pep signing again -:)

He won’t manage another club after us imo. Maybe do a part time international job but he will be with us until then imo.

Imagine the matchday thread on Saturday after this news if we’re not winning ;-)

On the news, it honestly wasn’t the outcome I was expecting, thought he’d go next summer, but I’m absolutely buzzin about this. And the signings to come (hopefully) as he refreshes his squad.

Chrimbo come early.

Agree.Even a four lane scalextric or Carol kirkwood wrapped up wouldn’t even come close.
 
If it takes 4 unexpected consecutive defeats to make Pep change his mind and stay then that's just great and well worth those losses. Now 10 years at the helm with us gives him the chance to replace an ageing midfield, attract younger players with potential that he can develop and add to our Champs league trophy success.
 
Tbh I thought he would not renew after txiki’s departure . Give him a statue for extension just for the time being and add on depending on how many cups he ends up winning in total.
