Pep's contract situation

[AlanBalls]

Definitely starting to get a little concerned.

A few weeks ago I thought he was nailed on for an extension, and that it would be imminent.

Then Klipperty extended for the dippers, no reaction from City.

Khaldoon today effectively said it’ll be discussed in due course, then The Times reported tonight “before the end of next season” and that Pep doesn’t want to leave City in a “scramble”.

Just me?

LOL, who is your real club, go on.

Yeah, no reason for a blue to get concerned that our greatest ever manager hasn’t extended yet. Whopper.

 

[cleavers]

Whopper.

Yeah you are, try listening to Khaldoon for 25 minutes.

I did, closely, per my post above.

All he said was that the conversations would be held in due course, when Pep is ready.

If you aren’t even a little worried, then power to you.

Not even slightly, if we get to March 2023 then revisit my comments (we won't).

Pep is going nowhere end of thread.

I didn’t think we’d even head into the new season without the contract resolved. The club & Pep know it’ll invite a media wankfest over the possibility of his departure, and in turn undue pressure on the players.

That’s why I’m worried. Thought it would be wrapped up over the summer if not before. Looks unlikely now.

To the bottom of my bollocks I hope you’re correct. No need to police reasoned thinking though.

We haven't, it doesn't start till August, it's still May.
