He's not going to be here next season. I was happy for him to stay at the start of the season but it's clear now he's outstayed his welcome. We're lucky to have the points we have. It's going to be like Pellers last season with players not giving a shit come November and we're not challenging for the League.

We'll be lucky to finish top 4 this year.

How are we lucky to have the points exactly?
We had a shit 2nd half against Leicester so if we we deserve nothing from that game fair enough.
We weren't lucky with our point against Leeds, we would have won but for Eddy's mistake.
We weren't lucky with our point against West Ham, we should have won and we weren't lucky against Arsenal and Wolves.


Wolves and Arsenal games could have easily been draws.

Sky sports breaking news is Barca presidential candidate Victor Font wants Pep as manager if he wins the election.

Surely this is blatant tapping up. Wonder of there are FIFA or UEFA rules on this sort of thing...

They’ll be speaking to Pep behind the scenes anyway mate. If he wants to go back he’ll go back, no matter how much tapping up they do.

Perhaps this is the reason Pep hasn’t committed to signing a new deal with us.

Oh, it's a given they will talk behind the scenes. It's more that this is blatantly in the open which theoretically is not permitted. I shan't hold my breath for any repercussions

I do think he’ll be mad to go back as it’s going to take years to rebuild with them. And if he thinks he’s stressed now in Manchester, wait until he gets over there. Mental breakdown incoming!!

Cant see pep going back to them. If he doesn't extend, (and I think he will) he is more likely to take a break from management.

When Guardiola leaves, Utd, scousers, sky sports, carragher, bt sport,.... will all be patting themselves on the back, as mission complete.

He is not perfect but to think the names bandied around as a replacement will be somehow better in my opinion is madness and spin of the highest order.

Somehow his achievements have been downplayed and the only thing to beat him with is chumps league as though that makes him a failure.

Unfortunately mate he can’t stay forever so we need to discuss who’s next. He’s not signed a new and the likelihood is he’ll be off - so it’s natural for people to mention who they’d have as our next manager (not a replacement, because I don’t think we’ll ever replace him).

He wasn't brought in to win the premier league or FA cup or league cup...we had already won 2 Premier leagues, an FA cup and a League cup before he got here......I think he was brought in to win the CL and hes been no where near it..not even reached a SF.

He hasn't been a failure domestically speaking ..hes been a roaring success in that respect, but for someone that has spent hundreds and hundreds of millions I think its not outrageous to say hes been an abject failure in the CL and has shown he will not deviate from his ways to play in that comp so I cannot see anythign different this time around.

No extension in sight and so we are quite justified in naming possible successors.

Premier league is always the objective.

Chumps league is more hit and miss and its not all down to the manager. Against Lyon we did not play well but laporte was tripped, Ederson fucked up and sterling missed a sitter. Its not all down to the manager.

Of course we should plan ahead for the next manager. But to think managers who have won fuck all will somehow be and upgrade is at best very optimistic.

The press and the old school minions to belittle him with shit like he can only win the chumps league with Messi blah blah blah

Personally I think our defence at last may be sorted and bodes well, maybe even for our supposed holy grail of European glory. I'd rather we regained the prem.

Whilst I agree with you 100% and you should post more often. CFTG is eluding to the point Pep was bought in to deliver the chumps league,which is a fact and he ( CFTG) only deals/argues in facts.

Despite his own dislike (and ours) of UEFA and chumps league, he will not be happy until Pep delivers it in accordance with Mansour and Kahldoons mandate/desire.

Me, like you and no doubt plenty of others would rather fuck UEFA)/chumps league off and concentrate on domestic honours, problem is the players/management/owner's want more.

Me, (until very recently) have been thrilled by the wonderful football we've been privileged to watch and long may it continue, even if that means having to endure all the bullshit that UEFA/chumps league throws at us.
