Pep's contract situation

There may be a reason Pep doesn't stay long at a club. Three great years, play some great football, win trophies and then burnt out. He looks a bit spent at the minute and being an emotional chap it wouldn't surprise me if he walked.

To be fair to the little world class stat padder who started upfront today,whilst generally doing fuck all with the ball he was pressing very well during the first half. We certainly didn’t lose cos we had nobody to press upfront as they were quite happy to keep giving us the ball back.

We've only had 2 great years.
 
It is worrying that he looks so worn down at the start of the season but I hope he extends his contract personally. We have our bad days and he makes us scratch our heads with some decisions but I'm not ready to give up Pep football, it works most of the time and it's great to watch when it does.
 
The point people miss here is that no one who is PepOut believes he is a bad coach. He is one the greatest footballing mind of his generation but he looks like a tortured genius now. Frequent indecisions , rigidity in changing things, mentally he is not here. Add that with the loss of his mother and away from his family during Covid he doesn't look like himself.
He has been provided the best environment possible with all his spanish friends yet he somehow feels a bit dejected.
Moving on feels like a best option unless he signs another contract and the aging squad's rejuvenation starts.
Also Txiki needs to get his transfer policy in order or fuck off.
 
No amount of defenders would improve the defence, the problem is with the system and that's need changing and Pep won't. hopefully he finish this season and we part company amicably.

Its a question that will drag on all season - issue is I think Pep is judging his decision as the games go by, results and player reaction to his methods and if they are still responding in a positive way etc.

I think he looks a little burnt out but lets remember he has lost his mother in the pandemic, he has stated that it puts everything into perspective.

After the 2 huge seasons we hit a peak unseen before, that might be as good as it gets. But i dont think Pep will give an answer yet, by half way through the season i reckon he will know what he is doing...and if the players dont improve and we stutter through the season i will be leaning towards him deciding to leave. With him believing that a change is right

So to start discussing that is not a dis on Pep, he will go down as our greatest manager and what he brought.

If he leaves, who do we go for ?

Nagelsmann could be worth a punt
