If Pep was leaving he would have said so by now, he did at Barce & Bayern. He says he loves it here and to stay he's got to deserve it, that's enough for me.
City will sit down with him in the summer and hopefully Pep will see to our new new transition phase and sign another few years.
At least this is what I hope.

This is one of those things people say that I just don't understand. I don't think the players are as invested in the gossip side of football as the supporters are. They're professionals.
But they are humans too?! Curiosity about their as well as coach's future is normal? With social media headlines are in your face even if you want to stay away from them.

Curiosity? Sure but I don't think they'll be distracted by any speculation. Certainly not to the point where it would be affecting their performances.
I just think it's one of those things where we'll lose a game or two and someone like Paul Merson will say something like "I just fink de playas are finkin bout Pep's next moove" and then it will get repeated everywhere because it's easy for lazy journalists to make an article out of.
Or maybe you're right, I don't know but I'd have serious questions about the mental fortitude of a player who can't perform simply because his manager might be leaving in the summer.

Pep is a Barcelona legend, a God, with an incredible legacy.
He was a great coach but he also had incredible world class players at his disposal including the outstanding Iniesta and Xavi as well as the greatest player of all time Messi.
Those 3 at their peak, all in the same side.
Barcelona now are a hugely different proposition.
Messi is about to enter the dying embers of his career, the other 2 are gone, and Barca are a fucking shadow of who they were.
They are clearly skint as well, so there'll be very little chance of them buying their way back to their former levels.
I think Pep is too smart and too self aware to go back there and risk damaging that legacy.
