Pep's contract situation

[warringtonblue]

Big, big decision about who comes in next as a manager, the ground was laid for Pep from 2012 onwards with everything on the playing side built towards this. The likes of De Bruyne and Sterling weren’t purchased with Pellegrini in mind.

Every manager worth his salt would want this job, trouble is there ain’t that many candidates that immediately jump out. A decade ago you could consider the likes of Pep, Klopp, Mourinho and Ancelloti for a manager. What ever happens we should trust the club to make the right decision. They got Mancini and Pellegrini right, we were successful before Pep.

We didn't advance as a team under Pellegrini

just putting it out there, Ronaldo...

Shouldn't be difficult to replace Pep, given that 90 % of this forum think they know better than Pep how to manage the team in a CL final and accuse him of making silly mistakes.

Seriously though, 7 years at City would equal Pep's years at Barca and Bayern combined. Who knows, if the likes of Foden, Grealish, Torres, Delap develop into world beaters over the next 2 seasons, Pep may stay for another 5 years.

The stars are aligning perfectly for Luis Enrique, World Cup in 18 months , resigns at the end, 4 months R&R, then takes over from Pep.

We'll be fine without Pep, life goes on

Towards the end we didn’t, how much of that was due to players knowing Pep was coming and that they probably knew they weren’t in his plans and would be off.

Love it. Our decline will be spectacular. Back to playing Rotheram. It will be good for the sole of these newbie 'supporters'

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

We managed to replace Alan Ball, I'm sure Pep will be easier in many respects...

Strange way to announce it. Maybe some of the words have been lost in translation. If true it is a big story and you would have thought it would be a little more tightly controlled by the club and announced in the UK rather than Brazil?

personally felt we had 2 wasted years under Pellegrini, but his first season was exceptional
