Pep's contract situation

[wolviedinho]

Watched the pep presser and he seems fine. Glad he is not throwing the players under the bus however these same players need to respond after that horrid performance. All of them individually and collectively were rubbish. Week in Iceland might do the trick:)

At least this has shown our defficiences at least we can try to rectify asap.

If Pep goes, Poch, Rogers or Nagelsmann.

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.

A fair assumption -what's the betting its not occurred to the spanish chuckle brothers.

Imagine it wil be one or other

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

Everything you have stated here right down to who his replacement might be I agree with.
If Pep manages to turn this around and then appears to be reinvigorated, then a new contract, if not, then Nagelsmann.

Poch, is meh. Rogers can do one.

The crazy in me wants Graham Potter.

You are 100 per cent correct. The problem is that Pep looks totally shattered to me so we have a difficult situation. If Arteta had stayed we could have given Pep some recovery time..even a CFG role for 12 months. We have been spoiled in the last decade and now it's time for some of our fans to step up to the plate.

I think you’ve nailed it.

imo pep is creative and always thinking about the game, how to improve it, change it, evolve the gameplay.

he needs a complete break every few years because it’s exhausting.
he is due one now but is putting if off because he likes city and doesn’t want to let anyone down....plus he’s desperate to win the CL in PL.

I thought after the Lyon game that he had run his race with us and I'm increasingly feeling that he could be gone in a couple of months if today is any guide.

He looks like he doesn't want to be here and I don't think that the situation can sustain all season.

The team looks over-coached and timid going forward, yet disorganised when defending. We've been trying to knock square pegs into round holes for the past year, and when we have a chance to change things in the transfer window, we dither and delay.

The UEFA case and then Covid have hung over the club but there appears to be a strange lack of leadership at the moment.
