Pep Guardiola agrees 1 year contract extension | Includes additional 1 year option
- Thread starter Berbaclass
- Start date
Wouldn't trust Jamie Jackson
I'm not really surprised that they'll most likely get away with it. Best case scenario now is points deduction and transfer ban.
Will be interesting to see if the team finds it's mojo again now knowing he's staying. Unbeaten run incoming.
I am with you and yes 2+2 doesn’t =5
It appears that his new contract isn’t any more than a guaranteed one year extension with an option so that guaranteed period ends at 25/26seasons end.
It is unlikely that we will know the outcome of the process(IC+ appeal and potentially arbitration) before the start of the 25/26 season or more to the point after the date when the teams in the PL for that season are agreed at the leagues AGM.
I would imagine that should at the end of the process there is proven guilt around the main charges there would be a significant points deduction in 25/26 and if that’s the case you can just imagine that Pep in that last season saying something along the lines that avoiding relegation with that massive point deduction was his greatest achievement.
In effect that extra year is a win win for him
exactly that I'd agree
Meh, you can speculate in either direction.
Not much of a surprise that there aren’t any specific clauses for relegation

Never came into my mind that he was leaving due to bad results. I just honestly thought Pep would walk for a new challenge (or a break) when his contract expired.
Hence I I thought Amorim was their Plan A
I thought he would call it a day at City too but I think City's first choice would have always been keep Pep for as long as possible. I don't think City were ever going to commit to a new manager unless Pep categorically said he want to leave at the end of the season.
Personally, I think it would have been naïve from Amorim to reject United in the hope that he gets the City job because no matter how highly City may have rated him, they were never going to choose him over Pep.
He's really going for that obscure record of the Vanarama North league title and Super Cup in the same season.
Yeah sickening to say the least and looks like City's bullying of Premier League has paid off
The Dog & Duck Sunday league won't know what's hit them next season when Peps City roll up
This was exactly my thought after seeing this news pop up online.
Guardiola wouldn't even manage a 'sleeping giant' club or any club without instant ability to compete for CL. Only reason he's staying is he knows nothing is happening. A slap on the wrist for this season maybe - and even then he said he'd leave if they were found guilty.
Nation state wins again
Wait I’m way behind on things, are there updates about punishment?Ah, so public perception means this much to himHe's staying so he doesn't look like he's leaving a sinking ship when they get punished
What about the whole juve thing- he said he would leave if found guilty?
No not at all. People are just jumping to the worst possible conclusion as usual.
Oh wow got it. Yeah they made it seem like news just broke that things are going down
I’d like to think his paymasters have got him over a barrel (excuse the pun) and said if you leave us in the shit, we dish the dirt.

he said he would leave if the club lied to him
That’s an option too. A snake like him should know what bed he got into.
He’ll spin it as everyone being against City and he himself being the savior to bring such a proud club back up “where they belong.”
Yeah an unbeaten Man City romping home to a 6th title in a row will be really interesting
Is it a case that this gets city money? Club comes in for pep when they're relegated and the get a decent pay out/compo for it? As opposed to leaving for free?
Oh wow. So if he doesn’t leave he’s implicating himself that he knew all about it
Hes just a complete hypocrite. Has been his whole career and it's how he ended up at city at all, a money and ego driven cheat
One thing City don’t have too worry about is money
Relegate them too the 8th tier, still the rich owned club in the world, money too burn
This is possible. The guy is a cheat and has had controversy at his previous clubs as well. It's likely he's been cheating in some form at City too.
Have they promised to offer Pep’s brother a second football club?
We nabbed their first choice so pep is just staying on in an interim capacity.
There's a lot of sour grapes in this thread.
To be fair, MCFC is so far above us that, as MUFC supporters, we shouldn't be worried about them.
Our focus right now should be to compete with the likes of Tottenham, Brighton, and Newcastle, i.e., the top six teams.
To remind everybody, we are in 13th place, in the bottom half of the table.
Footballing giants like Bournemouth and Brentford are above us.

Don’t you mean THFC, B&HAFC and NUFC?
Man Red is so below Man Blue
Our best coach this season was Von Mistelroom, quite telling

Yeah, it's like Saracens at Rugby.
Relegate them into lower tier all you like, but two seasons later and they're champions again.
The real reason to despise city is their state-ownership model. How it both decimates the opportunity for fair competition and provides good PR for a despotic regime.
However, when Qatar were sniffing about ours, many fans behaved like the deluded numpties found on Bluemoon.
Good. Hope they can stop Liverpool now.
Maybe it starts next week?
No Rodri, no party. Would be brilliant if he somehow gets sacked
i’m not sure he’ll win a game again.
So, would it cost more to sack him now? Not like money matters to these people, but still, it would be funny.
No Rodri no party for Pep. He really needs to figure out how to play with Rodri out, needs to be much more compact out of possession
