Pep's contract situation

[Sky Blue]

I understand what you say but the timing stinks of a journalist trying to piss on our parade, literally.

He may be right eventually, but I think he's fishing and he thinks tonight it will get the most exposure.

Yeah, cunts trick.

How can be make it 5 when you just said he's going in a few weeks!

Didn't put feeling he "could" leave.

No substance in that article at all.

Not saying Pep will extend, but any of us could’ve cobbled that together and scheduled it to coincide with the parade.

Don’t get the Pep to NYCFC his wife lives in Barcelona where she runs the family’s fashion business their youngest daughter is there other daughter and son live in London Pep can see all of them easily from Manchester so I don’t see that happening Maybe it would suit Kev

Also, Xabi Alonso will never come. He has a huge chance of being either Madrid or Liverpool next manager, and he will want that before managing us.

Alonso already passed on Liverpool …

My gut feeling is when we get the signings he wants and Pep see’s how hungry the players are to go again he’ll extend a year

 

[Gordyola]

Doesn't his Mrs live in New York?

No Barcelona

Whether it’s true or not, Pep will always be a blue and will be advising on a successor. We all know it can’t last forever. Going on too long can make it even more difficult when he does go. So many examples of clubs struggling after an extended period of success with one manager.

Yeah I don’t get the NY angle either. I would think he would take a national team over managing in MLS. I don’t see the attraction of MLS for him.

Who knows. I doubt Gaughan has put that article out based on nothing though.

Technically, he could have put it out knowing that his contract ends next summer.

As things stand, he's spot on with what he's written until Pep extends.
