RagThe team is ageing - he was never going to leave while there were trophies to be absorbed by the best squad any English club has ever assembled, hence him extending. He didn’t want anybody else to match or eclipse what he’s done with it.
Now United will be getting multibillionaire investment, the rest of the league can also buy very good players and maybe even the culmination and sanctions of the PL FFP investigation mean it’s a good time to walk away for him.

This confirms it...you're on here to wind up the City fansI see him, Soriano and Txiki back at Barcelona within 18 months.
Nice oneOr perhaps even sooner - next week even?
Cheers for the laughs though. Off to the protests tomorrow night?
Appropriate name for a raggy, fading into the oblivion.I see him, Soriano and Txiki back at Barcelona within 18 months.
I have thought that Pep is off since he said he's waiting until after the world cup to decide. It would be out of character for such a well-run organisation to hang around waiting and hoping and then have six months to find a new manager. And I think Pep has enough respect for Soriano and Txiki not to put them in that position.
If that's right, I could see us trying a new approach. Perhaps a situation where Luis Enrique, who knows our execs and some of our players, resigns after the world cup and comes to work alongside Pep and the players for 6 months thus ensuring continuity and a seamless transition.
