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

[wahablue]

Thanks Pep a fine early Christmas present,and I am most greatful.

You're spot on - the notion that we improved after it was announced Pellegrino was to be replaced by Pep in the close season is simply bollocks

Pellegrino!
Didn't a certain manager cause a bit of controversy when he called him that?

i remember Pardew calling him a " fucking old twat " on the touchline once.

That really annoyed me as I was born on the same day as Manuel!

Not necessarily. He started out in 2016 with a three-year deal, and the fact that he's previously signed several extensions didn't mean he left when they were due to expire. He'll leave when he feels he needs a break or a change of scenery, or when he thinks the players are no longer responding to his methods. Personally, I'd like to think he'll at least celebrate a decade with us - and maybe even stay a year or two beyond that, but you never know until it happens.

Exactly. He's stayed longer than most expected and there is not a better club out there for him. Quite clearly he has a family situation that may dicate when he leaves more than football matters will.

I do wonder if he will end his club management career at City and take a break and them try his hand with an international team.

 

[OB1]

Does my head in having to keep explaining this.

No plan fucking B etc

Ditto.

"He doesn't understand Manchester" I got told on here once.

Man, the number of times I've seen criticism of his team selections for the Derby if the result goes against us accompanied with he doesn't get what it means....

He might want to have a go at that. I suspect that it might not work out that brilliantly as I think his methods take a substantial amount of time for players to get into. You don't have that as a national coach.

 

[spacecadet]

Have the biased cu nt media ignored this generly?

 

[Didsbury Dave]

The irony being that the posters who say he doesn’t understand the derby are ones who actually don’t understand what it now means.

I was 30 years of age when we got that letter from the club to announce he was coming. By the time he leaves I'll nearly be 40.

Takes some sinking in that.

Weirder for the younger lads. There will be some that will have had their whole adolescence under Pep. First kiss, first drink, first shag, first smoke, all of high school and college and uni. Mad innit.

I was born in 1986, so needless to say my formative years were a lot more painful being a City fan. Imagine what they'll tell their kids what being a blue as a teenager when Pep was here was like.

I believe your use of the word ‘twat’ is actually more polite than Pardew’s original soubriquet for Fred the Eagle
Hence the recurring meme on here of FoC…

My nephew is 16, brought him to Wembley as a rugrat for the Wigan final and he bawled his eyes out all the way home
Fair to say he has had a fucking amazing time being a blue ever since that day

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

tbf my missus would love having the remote for the tv for 9 months with the odd naked facetime while i have a wank and then receiving a truckload of money every week

Are you the patron saint of winking?

Only team he could slot into is Spain (or England when full of city academy players). He won't do Spain I guessing

Sheikh mansour went to Scotland to an Irn-bru convention.

something something, Pep signed the extension.

He got Pep pissed on Glenfiddich
and made him sign an extension

 

[MadchesterCity]

Sheikh mansour sent Pep to the Jocks
For an IRN BRU convention
City fans, tugged on their cocks
when Pep signed his extension

 

[spanishcityfan]

How much does the gavi clause cost?

Good stuff. Give them the hard stuff first. Keeps them grounded.
(And actually, being beaten at Wembley's not really hard, for those of us who thought we'd never go near the place ever again).
