It isn't. He committed to us earlier in the summer, as I recall.

Thanks for the reassurance

Khaldoon said in his side interview

Pep coming across well on his interview now on SS1

"I have to know my players. Hug them. Kick them up the arse!"

Sounds like he knows what he's doing.

Just watched the live broadcast on facebook, I liked what I heard.

Where the feck did they get that presenter from? I pretty much cringed all the way until Pep came out. Got to say after listening to Pep, I'm even more excited about the new season than I was before.

Cannot wait to see him 'kick the arses' of players that underperformed last year, if anyone can get them performing, then surely it has to be Pep?

I'm not sure any of us have truly taken it in. Pep Guardiola our manager. Amazing.

we're still waiting for him to do something the lazy cunt. A speech is good and all, but football is a results game, where are the results?

So the straw that all the bitter rags out there have decided to clutch at is the fact that pep said he always dreamt of playing here. Here being England of course.

This clip has now been turned on its head and the rags arwell trying to make out that he said he always dreamt of playing for city.

So very very bitter. The full reversal is almost complete.

Any video online to see that?

The best Manager in the world is now ours.

The plan continues to develop.

We will be the biggest club in world football.

Our owner decrees and it will happen.

Couldn't give two flying shits as to what any rag or similar like minded haters think or says.
Can't wait for the proper season to start.

It was an okay intro. He seemed more nervous than you would think but he seemed to not be able to hear or understand some fans' questions.

Mostly fluff and misanswered a question or two. He could have talked about talking to Gallagher about wanting to find the best bars/pubs but when you are
Interviewing so long I get the issue of not wanting to repeat yourself and perhaps being worn out.

I am far from worried though. He is class as you can still see. I expect him to go down as as our best manager ever.

Any rag with a brain is very worried.
They know they are behind us in almost every important aspect: manager, squad, academy, potential, etc...

My biggest concern looking ahead at next season is - will it be a level playing field with the ref's decisions?
The establishment may go all out to get their cash cows of the Rags and Dippers back in the mix?

I hope this fear is irrational and just paranoid on my behalf.

He made me believe in 2 words "Team Spirit" I don't think I heard those 2 words at all in the last season and a half.

Think that's the main thing he needs to change and for the team to have belief and desire. He looks excited about the prospect of what might come though the academy too!

You are certainly not alone in your fear of referees and their decisions regarding the rags and dippers.

You could but you'd be wrong, after our first few games of Pellegrini's tenure we went through a three month period playing the best football I've ever seen a City team play. ( wasn't around in the 60s )
