Pep's contract situation

BillyShears said:
1 year extension will be announced before Jan 1st. Club keen to have it announced before transfer window opens. Pay rise for Pep. Just to be clear it's not been signed yet but it does sound like he's given the go ahead for the renewal.

Could it be one of those extensions that Pellegrini signed just before Pep came in? Designed to get the media off his back but essentially meaningless?

Pellegrini was only ever keeping the seat warm,so i guess it depends if we have repeated the process and targeted another manager and agreed a pre contract.

Pep cares about not breaking contracts. This will be his 8th contract as a manager and he's not broken any of the first 7.

I think he cares about winning the CL too.

Will he ever get a better opportunity than with us?

Maybe. The Champions League is about luck. You make a side that's good enough to be in the last 8, and then it's a roll of the dice. Who you get, what shape they're in, how your players are doing at the time, the referee, the bounce of the ball, if your players deliver on what you've taught them.

Pep will always have a team that's good enough to win, because he's that good a manager and he's not going to go anywhere he doesn't have the resources to do it.

He's had some unlucky breaks in the past 3 years at City and definitely at Bayern. He could go to Milan or Juventus next and win 2 in a row with the right luck. I think he got pretty lucky at Barca in 09, but in 2012 he got very unlucky.

Anyway there's a reason no one has won more than 3, despite many of the best managers in history presiding over some of the best sides in the world for 10-20 years at a time.
 
I'll be disappointed if it's only for 1 year, when players have signed contracts to play for Pep
