Hopefully it is simply rumours and not anything substantial but we are likely to be starting a period of transition and rebuild with a number of players nearing the end of their contracts.
Be an interesting summer either way
I would rather buy a few now and play under Pep, than a shitload next summer.
100% agreed. There's no way I can see the club allowing the club to be exposed to the risk of a major rebuild AND change of manager at the same time.
That's not the way these guys roll, there will be succession planning in place for the every player and the manager, and even if we can't get our preferred Gundo/KDB/Bernardo long term replacements this summer, we will move on to 2nd on the list and keep going until we get one.
What we do now sets us up for the next 3-5 years, and I just don't see a scenario where the club would leave these things to run another year - I think we're going to see a lot of movement in late July, some perhaps surprising exits and big incomings.
These are my thoughts too. No way we do not have a sucession plan in place. IF Pep is going at rhe end of next season and I seriously doubt he is, we will be going after our transfer targets this summer
