Pep's contract situation

[Shazza458]

Thought this summed up Pep really well, you never know what he’s going to do.

I wouldn’t be shocked if he signed a new 2 year deal or if he walked.

Now we’ve lost a few games he can fuck off, let’s get Mark Hughes back.

Don't be daft. All he has to do is announce his decision, and Rodri will magically instantly heal, and all the muscles and ligaments in all the other players will suddenly recover. What's the hold-up!

Who’s organising the whip round for the airoplane banner?

I think the contract situation is actually quite unhealthy for the club. Even if Pep decides to extend for a year it still effectively leaves the club in a form of limbo - particularly in the transfer market where, in recent years, we have been poor in any event. Don't get me wrong. The football served up and the success brought to the club through Pep has been simply breathtaking. But all era's come to an end and Pep's undoubtedly is - be this 2025 or 2026 - clearly if by some miracle he decided to stay another 3-years, there is then no issue at all! In reality through, we are in for a period of transition like it or not, there is no replacing Pep, he is a generational 'one-off' but someone will need to be the next man in charge and its far from obvious who that will be. This, for me, has always been an unaddressed issue. The owners had a very clear vision from the get-go - fully revealed now - for how the club was going to be managed and by whom. But that vision is nearly at an end now with first Taxi and soon Pep leaving and its its less than obvious how we progress from near-perfection to something likely to be less-than that? In the meantime the squad ages and - as we are seeing - finds it harder to maintain fitness and the ridiculous levels of previous years - and needs a fairly substantial rebuild, something made much harder when their is a lack of certainty at the top.

3 year Pep extension, Zubamendi pre contract signed for January, a win at Anfield, we’ll win the league 15 points and during the 5 in a row celebrations the 115 decision will be an all clear.
