Pep's contract situation

[PistonBlue]

5 Live doing a phone in now on Pep becoming the England manager.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Yeah Ferguson did really well as Scotland manager

you can imagine how much stick he would get if any City player has a bad game.

I think it could be a now or never with the England job for Pep.

That's never, then.

 

[chaddblue]

Listening to talkshite on the way to work. All these wanker presenters, journalists and rival fans who have spent years slagging off city and playing down peps achievements, are suddenly desperate for him to take the England job.. funny that

That's never, then.

It's a never from me. I thought we were all cheating bastards, including the bald fraud. England wouldn't want to accociated with that surely.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Looking at the headlines it seems like the FA are tapping Pep up, which is surely not allowed?
What will happen as the week goes on will be extensive criticism of Pep for not letting everyone know whether he’ll take it or not, which will no doubt then lead to yet another round of City bashing. It’s all as tedious as it is predictable.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

I keep asking same question why is everyone convinced were fucked once Pep leaves, yes hes the GOAT, and sure we wont be as dominant, but surely were so well set up with professionals running the club. Still a squad of some of best players in world. Why cant we continue to win leagues and trophies?

Once Pep leaves hopefully we can continue to be at the top table for Europe, trophies and great players.
But the problem has always been on how to manage the transition and end of a dynasty (just look at the rags and LiVARpool). I’d say it’s vital that any new manager can keep us in the top 4 until they bed in

 

[Stoned Rose]

If I was Pep I’d come out and blatantly just say “the way you cunts in this country have treated me and my club and now you want me make you all happy by saving your national team? you can fuck right off”.

Or if he wanted ultimate revenge he could take the job have us play scintillating football leathering everyone 5-0 on the way to the World Cup final. Then pull an on purpose “Pep overthink” and have us play the final with a 2-1-7 formation with Kane in net, Phillips in centre mid on his own and 7 u18 players up top, seeing us get beat 8-0.

Then in the post match interview say “it is what it is” and walk off.

Pep won’t stay forever. We all know his time is coming to an end at City in the next year or two. It’s been a great time but he will move on.
He’s only really got Italy to have a go at domestically but he’s mentioned in the past that he fancies doing an international team in the future. I can’t see that being Spain due to the Catalan thing so that leaves probably four or five countries that are big enough.
He enjoys living in England and enjoys the football in this country. You might not like it but I reckon he will consider it.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Was just listening to Slyspots last night cos Mike was on and Karveh Knowfuckall was spouting on about it. Then at the end of his piece he says, ' but he's City's manager, let not disrespect Man City....'

Why start now!
