Exactly - but thick people don't get nuance.I’m sure this has already been discussed, but when Pep said he was “closer to leaving than to stay”, I got the impression he was making a joke in limited English that he was closer to the end than the beginning, meaning he’s not going to be here in another 8 years. Nothing he said afterwards suggested he was more likely to leave after next season - on the contrary, it seemed very dependent on how he feels then and how the players respond next year.

All of this, but pushed a few more years down the line. Get Pep to 12 years, giving VK four years wearing the lederhosen.Best scenario (apart from Pep staying forever) is as follows.
- Pep signs for another year after next, taking his total to ten.
- Vinnie signs for Bayern and takes them to multiple league titles and CL finals (where we beat them twice), playing a city style of football.
- Bayern look to improve Vinnie's contract only for him to confess that he wants to return home to be with his family and the love of his life, City.
- Pep's leaves in a trail of glory having won another two trebles, crowning him as the untouchable, undesputed best manager the world has ever seen. He goes off on a much deserved sabbatical.
- The reins are handed over to Kompany who goes on to almost beat Pep's record during another ten year tenure at God's own club.
- The rest will be written in the stars.

They hear what they want to hear…..
Personally I heard I’m fuckin staying until every single fucking record & trophy count has been smashed. I’ll make sure that Piss stained **** & what he won will pale into significance when I’m done.

De Zerbi is a shocking man manager, same school as Mancini.
Pep's greatest and least talked about strength is man management, it's outstanding and far more important than his tactical ability.
Agreed, I was agreeing more with the idea of getting a promsing young manager in next to Pep for a year to provide continuity. Not likely but, as I say, nothing is impossible to the visionaries that run our club.

It’s Enrique then Alonso for me at the moment but I’d only prefer to talk about new managers once there’s a vacancy.

The thing I think Pep has to factor in as well is no other manager has passed him by tactically. He considered the best mind in the game right now. It seems like it would be hard to move on when you are still top of the tree.I’m sure this has already been discussed, but when Pep said he was “closer to leaving than to stay”, I got the impression he was making a joke in limited English that he was closer to the end than the beginning, meaning he’s not going to be here in another 8 years.

Pep does love New York though and the challenge of a different league setup with fresh faces could be a challenge he fancies.There's more chance of Gordon Ramsay flipping burgers at McDonald's, than Pep putting himself through the torture of management, at that level.

don't really rate him. Granted there was that season at barca 2014/2015 where that front 3 of neymar, suarez and messi was just unplayable, but i dont think his record since then has been up to much. Spain national job was a disappointment, and his record at PSG has been pretty underwhelming. only my opinion of courseElaborate?

Remember when the Double was a thing - before we broke football?Tough one, as as long are we are setting records I think the winner inside of him will want to stay.

I recall all the footy annuals as a kid being about Arsenal, McLintock and the "Double".
Ten a penny now.
Would like an unbeaten season, just to shut than one off too - but this time one with a lot of points and decent football.

Would just be more "evidence" that the league is boring, we are ruining football and nobody can compete with our oil money. Bring it on!

I like his cv.
And I want to be hanging out the back of Jessica Alba tonight, tomorrow and every other day.
The wanting doesn't need to be said
