Pep leaves

[Whassat]

So the smoke plumes wheren't wrong; There was a fire behind it all. Pep and the management should have kept the announcement until after the last game of this year. The players where quite disillusioned on the field just yesterday. It might actually have cost us the premier league title.

With that written: Pep - You're the greatest couch to grace us with your presence. Not only that, I think you are your generations best coach, and the best the world has seen so far. You raised the bar considerably with your excellent 10 years at the City helm. Winning six Premier Leagues and 17 major trophies - That is just utterly amazing. You are the definition of a legend.

Looking at this made me emotional...

No, couch of course

Well it will be emotional tomorrow, not only pep but john and bern going, maybe a couple of more might move on, I wonder if city and villa players will hold a guard of honer for him. I don't think it should be at the end of the match as half of the crowd would of gone, LOL

“I have a regret that, I have hid deep inside me and that is that I did not give a chance to Joe Hart, to prove himself how good of a goalkeeper he was, and I should have done.”

Would agree, especially with how catastrophic Bravo was. But this should definitely be nice for Joe to hear

Bravo was a disaster, however I remember people saying he was instrumental in creating & playing out from the back. Everton 4 City 0 put that to bed.

Well he was, but unfortunately was a terrible keeper

Joe will be pleased. He's always surprised me as he always bigs up City and has no bad word to say. Class

If I'd been treated like him I'd be telling Pep to stick it up his arse. Mind you, he didn't seem so good anymore, all that shouting and screaming and not saving to his left. But there's ways and means, and Bravo ffs.

Blame that on Emily bishop's cunt son or whichever ever twat told him.

[PeterParker]

Bravo was terrible, but on a penalty shootout, he was one of the very best.
Same as Big Willy.

[branny]

Ederson supposedly attending for his farewell. My mate has just sent me a picture of him and his son with Gundo in Vero restaurant in Salford so I expect he'll be there as well.

No, couch of course

Sofa as we know. One thing for certain he will always be a settee fan.

I am cautiously optimistic about this ottoman we have coming in though.

Will this Ottoman be flying in on his Magic Persian Carpet from his empire ? Or easyjet ,?

[Blue Jam]

This is the end of an era.

I think we might win next season in the same way Slott won PL with Klopps slops.

Then it will likely be a barren spell - like Rags post Ferg wilderness years. They've been through some decent managers, all who couldn't win a PL title.

Either we let Pep go at the right time, or he will be an impossible act to follow.

We have an.excellent board and owners, so time will tell.

Not easyJet, Ottoman better for luggage

5 of Peps backroom staff to leave.
City have announced on Tuesday that two more of Guardiola's assistants - Pep Ljinders and Kolo Toure - are leaving the Etihad, along with Lorenzo Buenaventura, Manel Estiarte and Xabi Mancisidor.

[blues-clues]

Does the fact that all Pep's assistants are leaving mean he has another job or does the club really consider these hangers on to have no value in a future management team? Thought Ljinders was meant to be an asset? Surely some continuity would be a good thing?

Assume Maresca has his own backroom staff he knows and trusts.

Pep 2.0 only signed a one year deal with optical extra year so was probably aligned with Peps decision on his future.
