Pep's contract situation

[blueparrot]

I'll be disappointed if it's only for 1 year, when players have signed contracts to play for Pep

They sign for Manchester City, no player signs contracts expecting any manager to be in place for years.

It’d be a one year rolling contract which would serve both club and manager well.
People just want something to moan about on here.

Pep might just want to see how things are in the world in a years time. If crowds are back in full and we’ve got a good blend in the team again then he’ll probably want to stay even longer.

I think just one of the reasons he’ll want to stay is because he doesn’t want to go out in an empty stadium. He’ll want to live his experiences with a full crowd again. Obviously that’s just on top of being happy with those he works with etc.

Ultimately they sign for the club,but there can be no denying many players are also attracted by the manager.

IMO Messi signs pre contract in January....... Pep signs extension as does Aguero length of the contracts they sign depends on whether or not Messi joins!

I don't doubt they are attracted by the manager,when they sign,but doubt they sign a 5 year contractexpecting the manager to be still there for the entire 5 years

Of course not,they obviously hope......but i'm referring to the initial pull.

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?

Quite different. Pellegrini signes it the year before his last one, when the media were putting pressure claiming he would get the sack (with klopp of all people having been linked as the supposed replacement before he went to varpool).

Pep's if true would be being announced at the same time that theyncould also announce the next manager, or even that he wont renew, if it were the case, so i don't think they are comparable, i think it is a genuine extension. if true.

Have you ever read catch 22?

Hilts, I was a bit aggrovated by his flippant comment about F***king Pep off more than anything. Total disrespect for the greatest manager we've ever had and likely to have in my life time.
