Pep's contract situation

[TShed]

Can’t just bring someone in surely we must be preparing for the transition of Peps methods philosophy etc etc now in our DNA so we can speculate but let’s hope his successor is already being prepared
Even Pep had to sacrifice his first season to groom the whole club in his ways which meant clearing out those as good as they may have appeared didn’t have the hart for it
If we don’t continue his blueprint we could end up like the rags with each new manager wanting his “type” of player
My thinking is the answer is still sat inside or has been around Barcelona all their careers

sounds like Xavi to me

We're done now as the Rags have beaten us to our number 1 target......they've done us again as they did with piano man and fake Ronaldo. They still have the hex on us...

European trophy record holder, and manager of the year Ancelotti? Probably, aye.

Not that I would want him here to be clear, but he is an excellent manager.

And has the best single eyebrow raise of any top manager .

They do. :-)
Funny how they THINK they’re getting someone - be it player, manager or back room staff - that we want!! Fall for it every time

Pep's tactics have evolved over his career since he left Barca, he's tweaked the basic tikka takka to meet the different demands of first the Bundesliga and now the PL so someone who's been solely at Barca may not be totally suitable.

Obviously I want PEP to stay forever
But what ever happens I am sure our clubs got things planned. We're the best run club in world football. I trust our owners and managers won't be panic buying when Sir PEP eventually leaves.

I’ve said it before, Unai Emery is the man. Won European trophies with smaller clubs, got Villa into the CL, imagine what he could do with our resources and board backing him.

Maybe am going for Nagelsmann and if Pep has said to the sheik he is leaving end of the season he is the only one we could announce early to stop speculation if pep doesn't commit by end of November
