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

If he’s not staying he should stand down at the end of May, hopefully having just lifted the CL trophy.

It would be madness to expect the new guy to start in mid July, presumably when all the players are having a post WCC break, and with no pre season to introduce his methods.

Much as I love Pep, if he decides against extending his contract the priority has to be to make it as easy as possible for his successor. He should take the squad to the WCC

No the decision HAS been made because txiki is retiring at 60 and soriano going to NYCFC as vice president. It has leaked out early and so now it’s stage managed for a bit to make it look like pep is mullingbit over.

People inside the club got an indication mid February club was going to be ok on the charges. That allows for the succession planning to take place. New York been part of the plan for a long time.

You need to stop knocking about with Ralph Malph.

I kind of get that. Why would you leave having for example just won 5 in a row. When you can go on to win a 6th, and really set records.

I know, he left Bayern having won 3 in a row, but then he had this job to move to. Can't see what job he'd want to move to that would be an upgrade.

But then, Pep is Pep. He decides whatnhe wants and he seems to want what he feels. Think it will be led as much by emotion as it will by logic.

At the moment he comes across as being all in, so hopefully that continues.

Which is why it’s too early to speculate on anything. Next season is 12 weeks away so who knows how Pep will feel come the start.

I think it’s a positive sign for us that he hasn’t walked at the end of this season and is willing to go into next season.
If his mind was made up I reckon we’d have got some clarity at the end of this season

There's no way Ederson is leaving, his agent knows his importance to us and is posturing for an improvement contract, which he deserves in my opinion.

I think Ederson knows we could potentially have a difficult goalkeeping situation on our hands with Ortega potentially leaving and his agent is trying to maximise his earning on his next city contract

As goalkeepers go, Eddie is very underpaid - not even in the top 8 of goalkeepers round Europe
 
The new Manager could be part of Pep’s team at the CWC..just a thought.

There are ways around things and City will have thought of them.

Too close to home that - I reckon pep will just leave before CWC, he won’t want to encroach on the new gaffers ideas

CWC is another reason why I think he could potentially extend
 
Food for thought

The CWC happening next summer wouldn’t be the ideal way to end things between the club and Pep, assuming he is the manager for it and wants to leave summer 2025

I think him staying in position for it would completely undermine the new manager. It would be very hard for the new manager to get in the building, chat to the squad, meet wider staff and project his ideas all whilst the greatest manager ever and the most successful in our history is still at the helm for the CWC. Pep would be hanging on at this point and I just don’t think that’s wise for the club. When he leaves, we need a clean break and him staying for the CWC would completely mess up our pre-season with the new gaffer.

Interesting decision that the club will have to make.

Pep to New York City fc makes sense with those viewing figures. Capitalising more on the American market , a lot more will watch New York City fc with Pep there. More money for the cfg project

As does keeping him here and maximising the money for City’s increased viewing there.

A decision only to be made if he doesn't extend, of course. Which I honestly think is way too soon to rule out.

For us, yes. Not for the papers. They can get clicks now. And again in 12 weeks. And again in 22 weeks. Why the hell not milk that.
