Pep's contract situation

[Shazza458]

I got told yesterday that he’s not extending by someone who has dealings with players, I’m not saying he’s right and I hope he’s wrong but, if it is the case it needs to be announced asap and then we can get to terms with it, the indecision helps no one.

Edit*
Reading his quotes sounds like he’s going nowhere … hope so, just extend for a longer deal Pep.

Proves that no one has a clue because other people have been told he’s staying.

I don't get the Kompany thing and no chance would he leave or should he.

Inzargi at Inter is a class act, Emery at Villa has done a wonderful job, Bournemouth manager incredible job again but under little or no pressure.

Amorim seemed like he was not under serious consideration which surprised me with Viana rocking up, maybe we have a name that none could see, with our board/execs that would not surprise me.

I do think we would go for someone young and hope to go long term, they will be given plenty of finance and time post Pep.

Emery is my 2nd choice mate.

Not sure he would leave Villa, if they are allowed to spend they could become a threat.

Swap him for Grealish…

Not going after Amorim doesn't surprise me....

Just swooping in and taking everybody from Sporting Lisbon would be pretty small time thinking from a club this size. We should be casting a wider net. It is very unlikely that Sporting Lisbon has an elite Sporting Director and Manager. One of them will likely not be fit for purpose at a bigger club. Hopefully Viana isn't the flop.

I don't think he is going to extend personally

I like Emery too mate. Done an outstanding job. Signed a 5 year contract in the summer so wouldn’t be cheap - but we’re due a shopping spree ;)

I like Inzaghi too.

Intrigued by the stories last few days that pep was offered players in the summer but he instead decided to go with the small squad.

I always assumed it was the board being tight with funds but it brings a new narrative to this season. Apparently the lad from Celtic was offered to pep he turned it down insisting we had enough.

If pep continues at city he is going to have to accept we can’t operate with such a small squad these days. We need major investment in midfield and at rb.

My main worry is that pep literally controls everything and the club will continue to bow down to his demands and we will continue to struggle with fatigue injuries etc

Think we definitely needed a back up striker even before all the injuries we had. If no one got injured we would go been fine for me!

also they had to think this squad have played at a high level under high pressure playing more games than most team the last 4 years that something was going to give this season!!

Pep needs to sign a 3 year deal to settle the nerves of all involved.
If he isn't 100% committed he should (I say this very reluctantly) stand aside for the new chap.
Just typing this is stressing me out!

Yep and say he is looking forward to build another team over the next year

Maybe the club are trying to surpress what he's gonna do,they know what happened in feb 2016.
when it was known pep was coming to us and basically,the whole team stopped fighting apart
from Fernandinho
