Based on what? Did he tell you that?

Typical response from you, wouldn't expect anything more 👍, and based on pep has been there what 6/7 seasons and has a contract till 2025, so if he was to leave he's sorted money wise for the next 2 years, and he likes to take a break from football after leaving a club, oh and the fact he's never managed 2 different teams from the same league.

All top managers are sorted money wise.  Who else would be manage in Spain or Germany? Madrid would be off the cards and it's not like he'd manage schalke or some other shit bundesliga club. Tbh if he wanted to stay in club football , we'd be his best bet other than psg

He doesn't strike me as manager that does 7 years at one club, then Jump to another in the same league, it just won't happen!

Agreed, I think realistically it would be PSG or an Italian club if he wants to stay in club football. He seems quite a loyal person and I just don't see a situation where he manages another club in the same leagues of those that he already has.

But he also doesn't strike me as someone who will be managing at club level at an older age - after City, he may slow things down and look at an international job.

Who knows really, he hasn't had many jobs. He said if they lie to him he'll be gone asap, so if he feels betrayed then why not. They only have about 15 fans anyway

What if they will no longer be in the same league😉

There is also some kind of dignity in play - hence Guardiola is openly cuting off his ties with owner's shady moves. If he bails out now (he said he is leaving "the next day" if he is being lied to) I could theoretically see him taking us over in the summer, but also think it would rather be Real or PSG.

 

BTW

Fun times. We have trouble to point potential replacement for Potter now and in the summer, it could be us, Pool, City, PSG and Real looking for a manager at once, huh

If Pep left Man City for moral issues, he would be breaking his contract and Man City would not have to pay him. If Man City wanted to continue his contract to keep him from joining another PL team is possible.

I highly doubt he would ever manage Real, due to his Barca ties

PSG I could deffo see (especially with Messi and Mbappe there)

or the Spanish National Team

cannot see him ever at Manure or Pool due to Citeh ties (unless he is so angry at Citeh he goes for pure revenge, and even then, those clubs need to be sold as the current owners are too cheap for Pep, especially Pool)

Chels? well unless the Kuwaitis buy Arse or Spuds (omg, nightmare of nightmares, especially if they bought Spuds), we are just about the only other team with deep enough pockets for him atm

The big 3 in Italy (AC, Inter, Juve) are priced out his spending habits

I doubt he would go back to Bayern, but who knows, maybe

so, in order

I would guess

1. PSG (I think they someday have both Pepe and ZZ, at different times of course,, down the road)

2. Spanish National Team

3. Bayern redux

If potter had the leadership and charisma of Caesar, that would be something
