Remember this thread from about six years ago guys?
So I was talking to my same mate earlier today, he’s been promoted since and is now working a lot closer to Khaldoon in a different subsidiary now then he was at the time ...
And he still stands by the original story and said in a recent conversation with our big guy, he reaffirmed that’s the dream of the sheikh ... not just the CL but doing the lot one year ... and after Mancini, Pelegrini was asked the same which he once fumbled out to press as his target being 5 trophies in 5 years, which Khaldoon thought was 5 in one year (over the five year period, any year) ...
Anyway, the most important point of the latest conversation (and again don’t shoot the messenger, this is how I heard it directly from him) ...
Khaldoon said the same to Pep last year and Pep is the first manager to turn around and say yes, ok, we’ll do it. He said he didn’t say, we’ll try, or it might be hard or whatever else with it, Pep simply told him, we’d do it! AND I won’t leave till we do it, unless you tell me to go.
Six years ago, some believed me then, and some didn’t ... this time again, make of it what you will!
I personally think, as tough as it may be and as impossible it may sound, you can’t question the ambition of our owners ... and perhaps in Pep they’ve finally found someone as crazy as them to believe in doing what’s never been done before!
Whether we achieve it this season with a quadruple or do something special next year or the year after ... its coming! And the forces behind it all, in our manager and owners all believe it can be done ...
