Peps last season?

[nottsblue]

A lot of talk in the media about the next season possibly being his last with us. Possibly stemming from his interview after winning the PL where he was saying the season was hard with motivation.

At some point he will obviously call it a day, but as we've seen with other clubs, it isn't usually a good thing for the players to know a lot of time in advance. Indeed, we ourselves saw this in the last month's of Pellegrini's tenure.

Would it simply not be better to announce he has signed a new contract with the provisio that if he wants to go next summer he can? Then the media won't be printing article after article about it and all the pressers won't lead with the "are you staying" questions.

Then at the end of the season announce the departure if that's the case. Or simply carry on if not

Nothing should have been said IMO - he and the club should have kept quiet as I don’t think most players will have the same motivation imo - look what happened to the bin dippers !

Anyway - I’m all for a transitional period bedding in new players and allowing the Rico Lewis’s and Bobby’s of the set up play more and if that’s at the cost of winning the prem then so be it .

Whatever players he does buy then they will obviously be players the incoming manager would probably want as well.

No issues at all here.
We can replace him with keyboard critics whopost on this site who know more about football management and tactics than he ever has.

How is Stuart Pearce these days?

I’ll be gutted when Pep leaves, but also really excited for what awaits us going forward.

Would be over the moon if he signs an extension, but equally I’m eager to see what the club has planned for us next.

Well said. I don’t know about you I still get frustrated when days like Saturday happen. It was Spursey from minute 1 and we fell for it…. Again. Ruined my summer pep.

Would you give him 1-2 sabatical years, let Lillo or another one in charge and then have him again for another 7 years?

I think I would.

No.

When he leaves, he leaves. We move on

I agree Notts. I want to watch a different style of football

Agree with you both. We need to move on once he’s done.

Hopefully a contract extension

Hopefully a contract extension

Would fans rather we spent £100m on Bruno from Newcastle or give Pep £100m for 5 more years?

When you think that Pep is just as important as any player, it’s a weird question.

If it meant Pep stayed and had the same motivation he does now, then it’s a Hell yes from me

[john@staustell]

I'm amazed he stayed so long. When I spent a large part of my life thinking there was no hope of us winning the league, or anything else for that matter, ever again, I'm just grateful for what we've had.

Dragging my eldest up and down the country twice a week, watching the dross served up by Alan Ball and Frank Clark we certainly served our time and eventually got rewarded.

Everything moves on. Hopefully Masters gets his come uppance before Pep leaves. Much like Platini did, everyone seems to forget. The original City hater
