Pep's contract situation

You have to assume he hasn't committed to extending as surely that would have been announced. That leaves the club in an extremely difficult situation. How can they approach potential replacements on this basis? 'We don't know yet but if Pep Guardiola decides to leave would you be interested in taking over' doesn't strike me as a great pitch to a top level manager.
Yeah. I’m sure that’s how the club are dealing with the matter. After all, they’re not known for being an efficiently run club

No matter how well we are run if the club genuinely doesn't know at this stage if he's staying or going then that impacts how potential replacements can be approached.

Some have speculated that he will wait for the outcome of the 115 case and that is even madder as it could easily be March / April before that is released.

My feeling is the club does know and he's going
 
The speculation only exists here on Bluemoon mate.

Haaland didn't miss his penalty because he was speculatung Pep's next move, Foden didn't miss chances he buried last year because he was speculating Pep's future and Rodri didn't get injured speculating either.
Whilst them individual things did not happen because of peps contract. In general and on a broader scale it will absolutely be on the minds of the players, if that impacts on the pitch or not who knows but this season we have largely been poor despite the points total. You cannot say our manager of the last 9 years potentially leaving isn't impacting on some players. Equally you cannot say it is but to dismiss it is wrong. Put it this way, there is also no benefit to dragging it out, signing in November in the past doesn't mean it is the right way to do things.

We lost an FA Cup final based on manager speculation, against a team that got relegated that season. Lets not disregard the power of media speculation.
