But if it’s been leaked now it’s ridiculous - it will fuck our summer transfer dealings up.
I genuinely think that Pep doesn’t know what he’s going to do yet. It’ll be the usual November time when he decides. I can see him doing another season after this one for ten years and then calling it.
The 2 reporters leaking the story of Pep leaving next summer are the only 2 City supporting ones from the media pack, Blackburn and Gaughan, normally very ITK and reliable you would think the club has decided to leak the news for some strange reason!?
I think it is a big mistake to leak the news, look at Ferguson and Klopp!
It will effect recruitment and player retention and the media will be obsessed about it throughout the season.
Maybe they think it will become common knowledge and better to be transparent with recruitment targets etc. A sad day.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s not a plot by Pep to make sure we go all in for his first choices this summer.

The first choice signings are less likely to come if Pep's only here for a year!

I think the days are long gone where a manager alone decides who to sign. Certainly for clubs who want to succeed
Yes, the manager will get a say or a veto but the main voice will be the DoF. Klopp for example is lauded for buying Salah when in reality he didn't want him
We will be no different at all

If true, I'll drive Nunes to the airport myself
blues2win wrote:The Club were wrongly swayed partly by Phillips being an English international. Nunes comes across as a bit of a panic buy having lost on Paqeta because of the gambling issue. Mistakes will be made but Akanji for 15 million and Alvarez for a similar sum were good buys. Alvarez really chipped in when Haaland was out. His seasons tally was not too shabby at all.

According to some, Alvarez is shite!!
His worth is around 75 million .
