Pep's contract situation

17/18 Fern was better than 21/22 Fern and Rodri combined.

I don’t think so. We have some many games over a season and having two natural defensive midfielders is better than just having one. It’s not like we struggled in that position last season until Pep had a brain fart in the weeks coming up the champions league final.

Well, that gives Arteta something to work towards…

How’s he doing with anderlect?

By no means bad, but not great. Improving a lot after a very poor start, though that was messy because it turned out he wasn't technically allowed to be the manager like they initially said. Now he has his badges and is full-time coach, things are looking much better.

I think his two more years comments are probably just the same thing that he always says. He'll get to the end of his contract and then reevaluate if he wants to do a bit longer. Not anything in it imo

Need to stick this upfront. It's two years, things change. It's a very general statement. Pep will look at the situation then and decide.

What a shite day for the club today

Fucking depressing

i dont understand why would you say that at the beginning of new season and 2 years before contract ends

When is the quote/interview from? Is it months ago, and just dragged up/rehashed tonight to create the impression of a club in turmoil, or has he actually said that today?
if it’s the former, fair enough, but if it’s the latter, it can’t be pure coincidence with the Kane news. Can it?

 

[chesterbells]

Thought it was common knowledge that he was doing two more seasons and then leaving

But has he just reiterated it today, adding those new details about international management?
If so, then it’s significant, and not in a good way imo.

Agreed mate. I’m normally positive but today has been a properly shit day with the Kane stuff and now this. Hopefully a good result on Saturday will reset the feel good factor

Any time Pep talks to Brazilian press he mentions his desire to manage internationally. He seems to want, but know he has no chance of getting, the Brazil job.
