Pep's contract situation

[Gordyola]

Luckily our ownership dont think like that or Barca would have had Mourinho as their manager and Pep would still be managing their B Team and the greatest club side of all time probably would never have happened.

Our DoF and CEO were responsible for promoting the club’s B team manager, who had just won the league, whilst at Barca. Incidentally that one single trophy is still more that the enigma Poch has won after 514 games with 4 clubs in two leagues

Ah yes, this argument again. Poch is not a good manager because he hasn't won trophies at Espanyol, Southampton, and Tottenham. Got it.

That is my point our ownership will choose the right person. Peps record at that time was not comparable with Mourinhos but he still got the vote.

To be honest if Pep is not prepared to commit beyond next year I would happily take Poch in a heartbeat. It seems a no brainer to get him in now as an understudy to take over in 9 months

Understudy to the tea lady,at least she has won the tea of the year trophy

No one is doubting he has been fantastic for us and I would love him to stay but IF he has decided nxt year he will move on and the club consider Poch as the ideal replacement then sometimes you have to make that decision. In an ideal world as an understudy (but unlikely) with a commitment he takes overr nxt year.

Just because we as fans don't know is completely irrelevant, 2 of his best mates are key players at the club, and business partners of his, they'll know what he's thinking, he won't be hiding it from his friends, the chairman, or the owner.

Beyond ridiculous isn't it. To pretty much everyone in football he is a highly respected coach but that holds little sway.

It's not my argument really, mine is that we don't have an opening, and it's quite likely we won't.

Pep won't discuss this subject with the media while we still have very important football matches to play, and that is exactly how it should be.

Agree, and as fans on a forum we dont know so we speculate and write comments including the the word ‘if’ because we don't know. For some bizarre reason you found this objectionable but that is blue moon these days.

Stop embarrassing yourself. Football sees Poch as a top class coach, if you cannot see it, that is your lack of understanding.
