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

I think the restaurant is joint owned by him Txiki, and Sorriano isn't it ? I doubt they'd get rid of it anyway, given how Manchester is developing.

I guess whether he returns or not, will be down to what he's doing after he leaves. If he's a manger he won't get much chance anyway.

Pret a manger?

It is odd why he has still not signed that new contract beyond 2025 that’s on the table.

He’s adopting the Pep method , rolling contract , which is best IMO for both manager and players , hunger and desire for both parties. I’d rather have it that way than a manager signing a 5 year contract thinking he will be around for the entirety- Ferguson (spit) never signed a long contract. But I do agree , Arteta would be a fantastic manager , but his first love was Arsenal as a player , he will get it right - and not cream his pants over an FA Cup win like the geography teacher like Eric Trent Derby at old toilet. The timing might just be right for Vinny to take the mantel. I’d rather it be a blue like him than than anyone else , he would have the fans right behind him , extremely important when Pep will leave

He wasn’t had to settle for third or fourth choice due to financial restrictions. He didn’t want Inigo Martinez he wanted Kim, Barca went for the cheaper one ,Oriol Romeu he didn’t want, he wanted Zubimendi as first choice but they didn’t have the money Romeu was fifth choice. He wanted Bernardo they couldn’t do it due to money. Gundo they got on a free but there was still problems with registering him wages.

He’s had to promote Yamal, Cubarsi , Lopez,Pedri,Gavi and rely on youth. Politics in the background with Laporta etc he hasn’t really had a chance of having his first choice targets or just focusing on the team and not the stuff in the background
 
So the opening of the new 3rd tier in the family stand will be without possibly pep and would haaland jump ship too? This could be a big kick in the bollocks in trying to full the ground. U would imagine plans are already in place to employ a manager with an x factor that could persuade haaland too stay or possibly attract a world super star to fill the seats.

He wasn't backed, by Barcelona?

The club with the 5th highest wage bill in Europe, on only 24% less than Real Madrid's, with one of the best if not The best academies in the world, that had no issue signing further star players on high wages and pulling levers every week to invest in the squad? Right, ok mate.

Just because fichajes or whatever the fuck they are called said on twitter that their first choice target was x and they signed y, doesn't mean he wasn't backed.

They have signed Lewandowski,Gundogan,Kunde,Raphinha,Depay in the past couple of seasons.....
 
I look at all other potential candidates, and non of them have the wow factor like pep, and that’s what worries me when players like foden who have only ever know pep might start and doubt them when we have a shitty result,

There is only one name where players would sit up and take note and that is zidane, purely just on his name alone, I am not saying we should go for him I am just saying he is the only name I see out there that has the wow factor,

We need obviously a very good tactical coach who fits the city brand and model but they also have to have a big fucking presents and character about them,

If the Club are doing their job right they will be already assesing managers all over Europe. They will also be picking Pep’s brain to get his opinion. They may have already been in contact with potential replacements.

No point in worrying, we have had a superb run with Pep.

If Pep goes at the end of next season, which is looking likely, he goes with his head held high and with the blessing of every single City fan.
He's took us to highs that exceeded my wildest dreams, he didn't just break the red tops, he smashed the fuck out of them, he smirked at the press coz he knows the agenda against the club, he's turned Mancunian.
Inevitably we will see a drop, same as when shitty/pissy pants left the swamp.
The memories and trophies have been brilliant, he's made us the most hated and talked about team in country and I love him for it, he's made us 'the biggest little club in the world' where do you want your statue Pep.

Yep, only this. He turned City and Pep down previously to replace Arteta and stay at Sociedad.

Clearly a man with principles and loyalty.

For me, Alonso would be the wrong choice. He would be linked with Real every summer he was in England.

He has Madrid written all over him after Ancelotti.

I'd like Ancelotti next summer, personally. A class act.

What about exploring the idea of giving pep a year sabbatical, and time out for a year,

And we appoint someone to just hold the fort for a year, make sure we still get top 4 but take a hit on winning any silverware for a year,

Give it viera for 12 months until pep comes back, he has already worked for the city football group,

I would be tempted to go down that route rather than appointing a manger who clearly is not working out and us ending up in that bad cycle of managers coming and going again,
