Didn't he miss out on coming on as a substitute because he wasn't fully kitted out, possibly his first appearance, or something like that?

He was probably too busy giving someone some verbal abuse.

I'm certainly not in the know, but I just have a gut feeling Pep will extend. He understandably looks tired at the end of every season, but after a bit of down time and a break he's back up for the challenge (5 in a row and CL Pep - C'mon you know you want it!). He loves it here, loves the club, loves the challenge, is treated very well, and pretty much has autonomy in the decision making process. Obviously as each year passes, his leaving becomes ever closer. However, I wonder if he would be tempted to sign a rolling year contract which wouldn't tie him in for a number of years and instead give him the flexibility to decide at the end of every season.

Am I the only person here that just looks forward to change? I'm just excited to see who the next manager will be, whenever that happens.

I don't need this City setup to be frozen in time and I have absolutely zero worries about the future.

This would be a bigger downgrade than baconface to Moyes

Good job it'll never happen then.

I'd love to see the piss that would boil when the prayers of our rivals are finally answered and Pep finally goes, only for the new guy to come in and continue the success.

In a way, it's a poisoned chalice. If the new guy comes in and wins the PL, it'll be "well; Guardiola won 6 of them". That's why the Moyesiah was destined to fail at "The World's Greatest Club"™; he was following (like it or not) an outstanding manager. That last title they won; it was a bang average squad, but GPC got them over the line. Signing Van Persie helped, mind. Without him, they wouldn't have won it. See Moyes' first season, with pretty much the same squad?

I think the rolling yearly contract only works if he has a number 2 that takes over

Moyes was destined to fail because he was wank. Although it was an aging squad, Moyes' 'style' of play was the complete antithesis to the gpc's.

Not sure I said anything different, to be fair.
