Parade aside, it’s not been the best weekend has it?

If Pep is off after one more season it wouldn't surprise me if Alonso has been pencilled in. Pep knows Alonso very well, and going unbeaten in the Bundesliga while dethroning Bayern is no mean feat. Alonso not leaving Leverkusen this Summer while being in huge demand, is another clue. 90 points in 34 games is ridiculous.

I don't believe for one second this is from the club at this point, on parade day, timing doesn't make sense and the article is very vague, doesn't really say much. Pep himself said he would talk to the club next season and see how he feels.I think he’ll have had a steer from the club on this.

Great players generally don't make great managers/coachesBring Gundo back for next season as player assistant then let him take over
Big feeling he will be an unbelievable manager

There's not many managers with the CV to take over from Pep.
Lots of exciting young coaches out there right now, but part of me wonders if the first one to follow Pep should be a steady hand.
The pressure will be immense.

Here's a novel thought - why not believe what Pep himself said only a week ago.Is he reliable? It could be just idle speculation on a quiet news day.
That he will sit down and discuss it.
This is hardly Woodward and Bernstein journalism. As usual, and with the aid of the lurking rags, of which there are many, this gains momentum on here. Unbelievable.

It is possible he intended to wait until after the parade but ran with it early because he thought other reporters now had the info.I don't believe for one second this is from the club at this point, on parade day, timing doesn't make sense and the article is very vague, doesn't really say much. Pep himself said he would talk to the club next season and see how he feels.
The way I read Peps "chat" about his future was for me optimistic. Starting off saying he was tired but then went on to say the owners, chairman Soriano and Tixiki (sic.) give me everything I want/need. Saying he has total control of all he requires to build and run HIS team without having to answer to a Football Director or any other person who would interfere. Is there actually another Club he could move to that would offer him the same. I don't think he's other option is of him thinking of retiring.

Has my vote. Honest and plays lovely football.On the topic of who next.. not sure if this would be a popular idea but... Postecoglu. I like the cut of his jib and itll need some pretty broad shoulders to follow Pep. Serial winner, including within CFG.

No fans can hit the panic button quite like us.
His contract ends next year, he's told us he's v happy and will discuss it with the club. Ffs - one minute we don't believe the press, the next ......meltdown.
Jeez, get a grip. Every fcking loss is met with the Chicken Lickens in here, running about announcing the end of the World. Our detractors must be pissing themselves - well you can see they are. Plenty of them in here still.
