Pep's contract situation

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Can't see him getting a better deal elsewhere regarding pay, transfer kitty, relationship with higher ups, fans, team spirit, academy etc. Maybe the weather is a factor or he might take a national teams job but leaving for another club seems unlikely thank goodness.

Pep more than likely sign a new deal and any doubts surrounding that is being generated by media. As it has been covered on here Pep will let the club in good time if he is leaving (and there has been no indication on that).

Is Ole still out of work? Knows Haaland and lived close to Manchester for a few years. Gutted if he goes anywhere else tbh…fantastik ;)

He just wants to make sure everyone in the squad is still happy and firing come the end of his current deal. Its understandable imo.

@93.20blue also said something on similar lines

But Pep's statement now is something very interesting. Maybe it would be done - but announcement comes later

93.20blue said the other day it was imminent.

Have you not learnt pep says one thing and does another , I don’t have a specific date but been told he’s extended to stay until 2026. meaning by then we will have had 10 amazing years of pep.

Not a great thing to say before the transfer market. We have some Champions LeagueS to win together still, Pep…

Whatever he said when Raiola asked him the question for Haaland, was good enough for him, it seems. So it should be good enough for anyone, imho.

And before anyone says that's why a release clause would be there, surely no-one in a professional environment, who has cared so much about a smooth career progression, would make a career defining move in the hope that something out of their control would happen after twelve months.

Fwiw, I think he is 100% staying. one year rolling probably.

He’s always said that if he doesn’t feel the squad are responding to him then he should not be the manager. A year is a long time, there’s a very slim chance that they might all get sick of him and want someone else; there’s also an almightily huge chance that they love playing for him more than ever so he doesn’t even blink when signing a new five year deal!
