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

[ancoats]

I think Pep really understands City as a club. Even when we are winning there is angst with many of our fans. He is the same. He also thrives on adversity. He’s become bloody-minded like a true Mancunian. It’s hard to explain but you can see it in every interview he does. The self-depreciation and sarcasm shines through.

He's defo become a Blue Manc
Also, Nobody would stay 10 years if they didn't get us right from the start

 

[ancoats]

A genuine question. Do you think Pep needs a new assistant coach to work alongside him and Lillo? We had Mareska during the treble season. Heard he was very good behind the scenes. We also had Arteta.

At this moment it's all down to luck and how quickly it can change, I remember Billy McNeill turned to Eddie Large to lift the players and crack some jokes in the dressing room.

Sometimes you can overthink the problem and think everything is against you, but luck good or bad is the one thing you can not fix or change, all you can do is ride the rollercoaster and smile

Things don't look good at the moment but we all know who the best man in the world to solve our problems is and he's already at the club for two more years - "And we've got Guardiola ... etc....etc

 

[petrusha]

I remember when Paul Joyce, northern football correspondent of The Times, wrote a piece claiming that, while City might be perfect for Guardiola in terms of the set-up created for him, it couldn't be regarded as an ideal job. This was because he'd never be able to forge the kind of bond with the fans that Klopp did with the cultists.

I wonder if Joyce has ever succeeded in extracting his head from his arse? He should have been fucking embarrassed to write like one of those dreadful bedwetting teenage bloggers. How fucking dare he? We as a fanbase wrote the book on sticking with a club through adversity and we more than know how to make our heroes feel appreciated. Ask Roberto Mancini if he thinks we bonded with him.

And ask Pep now, six-and-a-half years on from that utterly asinine piece of 'journalism'. Things haven't gone well in the last month, but does anyone really doubt now whether he genuinely regards himself as one of us? I'm proud to have him here and he reciprocates it.

These fans of ‘the big three’ are an entitled bunch. I don’t ever want to become that way and always try to respect the history of other clubs, even them, and attacking the fans is just plain jealousy or immaturity, nothing else. It’s bad enough coming from another adult but for a journalist to write that sort of nonsense is a complete lack of professionalism though sadly there’s vastly more of that type than there is of the objective and fair variety.

I imagine it's the same feeling as being Catalan in Spain. He's a political animal and we have always been a political city. It's the atmosphere and mentality of being a northerner in your own country and being cut off from the decision making process, I imagine.

Sorry. But not really.

Manchester and us Northerners are nothing like the situation with Spain and the Catalan's.

I hope he's calmed everyone's nerves who was pulling their hair out and stressing. He's here for the rebuild. This season will probably go like his first season where it'll be tough to watch at times but happy in the fact that next season we are rebuilding.
I think it'll start in January and finish it off after the season ends.

Yeah but then playing him as an inverted winger was a step too far.
