Hey, been kind of a long time reader and decided to finally join.

I noticed you were always somewhat of a Man City sceptic and I was always in the same boat despite the prevailing public narrative that they're the best team in history, have the best squad in history, have the best manager in history.

If Pep stays on next season, how do you think they'll go? I tend to believe that they'll remain very good but a shadow of their best form in the past 2 years. His 'defend via attack' approach to defence has been worked out, the back four is bang average, and the squad is mentally and physically spent from his intensity.

When pep leaves, the next manager will be the highest payed in world football. They’ll spend another billion on the team. Manchester City isn’t going anywhere whilst their owner is around. Aguero, Fernandinho, silva and Kompany (who’s already gone) will have to be replaced and the cycle will go again.
What Liverpool are doing now and did last season is amazing. Incredible.

here's my basic summary of Pep.

He's a luxury manager. He's a luxury manager because he has these really detailed and complex ideas and systems that are only compatible with players from the high end of town. Because of the execution the detail requires, it looks fantastic, and combined with its intensity its able to disorientate opponents and drown them with confusion.

The problem with the system is that it almost entirely chucks conventional defending out the window, and that its defensive success relies upon domination in the opposing half. Pep has never won a UCL without Messi because the top teams in Europe are aware enough, skilled enough and brave enough to get Pep's defenders on the back foot, whereby they crumble and lose games.

Pep has never stuck around long enough to address the aforementioned when it happens, and has never rebuilt a mentally and physically weary squad. That's why he's a luxury manager. He'll stop being a luxury manager if he hangs around at City and reinvigorates them next season.
