I think if City had waited they'd still be challenging and Pep would still be on his way
Based on?
Doesn't matter who u are or what u do once you know your leader has gone things naturally change. I'm not just talking football- any walk of life.
It happened with Fergie. Even he couldn't keep his players motivated once they knew he was going which is why he sprung retirement on his players second time round.
As soon as City announced Pello was going whether the players did it consciously or not they start to switch off. I truly believe they'd be challenging if it hadn't been announced in Jan
Didn't Bayern Munich win the treble a few years ago despite knowing their manager was moving on that summer?
You're obv entitled to your opinion (they're like arseholes, everyones got one), but if you want City fans to come on here crying ''why did we announce Pep, it fucked up our season'', that isn't gonna happen. Most of us are level headed enough to look at the bigger picture.
It's not what you wanna hear I know but thems the breaks.
If we somehow win the CL and finish top 4, to go along with the League Cup already in the bag this season, does this then constitute that announcing Pep in February had given the players extra motivation to send MP out with a bang?
