Yay or nay

I don't trust him and I don't distrust him.

He's never been in this position in his managerial career where he's had to get rid of dead wood and not rely on them. He really needs to not be playing Gundo, Bern etc instead of players that need the experience and are better NOW. He's super loyal to some of these and he needs to stop it - hate the guy but Fergie knew when to cut ties.

Trust him to do what exactly?

Keeping us up?

Not keep playing his mates rather than these players we've paid millions for, is the way I took it.

Also known as doing what's best for the club.

Said yes, would havve sside unsure

Based on his CWC management - it’s a no from me.
Too much evidence he prefers playing his mates over better talent.

He’s got the first 5 games to impress.

What happens after 5 games? Could you change your mind?

Sure I could , but do you think Pep’s counting down the days to bench Gundo and the rest of his untouchables for actual in-form players? You think he’ll tear up last season’s tactical masterpiece of sideways passes and 80% possession with no end product?

Really hope he does but I just do not think he will.

I’ll answer my own question: yes, I want him to go.

It feels like the end of a relationship. The love is still there, but I’m tired. Tired of the cycles, the overthinking, the constant need to prove a point or reinvent the wheel. I think it’s all run its course, and I find myself wanting something new.
It’s not about being ungrateful, far from it. He gave us so much. But I also believe his own agenda may have cost us even more. And now, I’m ready to move on, even if it means we won’t dominate the league the way we once did.

No I don't think he will but we have seen glimpses at the CWC. Just enough to give me hope.

I'll stick my neck on the block and say we're going to dominate this season.

Think we'll go close to winning the lot again.

Feel free to take the piss out of me completely come next May when we finish 12th
