Has Pep taken City as far as he can and is now out of energy and ideas or is there more fuel in the tank?

So, a man that wins us 18 trophies and your thread "Pep out" comes after 7 games with no wins. He has earned the right to fix this issue no matter how long it takes. It will take time, we have to take the good with the bad times. If you're asking the question "Pep out" then go stand in the "kop" with the rest of the gleefull fuckers. What will it be next Stephen,  Mark Goalbridge to replace PEP?
Shame on you for suggesting this thread.

He's asking the question and the answer is no. Pep will make us better than ever.

Still a bit of a trolly title even though I suspect Stephen's own opinion is not that he should go.

Stephen Paul

Just simply wondering whats up at City

Of course I want Pep to turn things round , as Im sure he will , but does he have the energy to keep it going , thats my concern

Stephen, he has to have the drive/ambition to turn it around. He has more to lose if he doesn't as his reputation goes before him. If he does not, then his reputation becomes questionable moreso by all those wanting him to fail. He improved City once, he can do it again. We should give him the time he needs. We all know this blip would come. There are a lot of factors going in to this blip. This is when we need to support him 💯 and not doubt his capabilities with less "Pep out" threads. Think positive. I was surprised by your thread, especially since you are a long time City fan, longer than  myself. "Pep out"threads I expect from the glory hunters we now have, and not from those long term City fans who still went and did not give up on City when we went to division 2. So what's changed with you to become unsure?
Stop being a 'doubting Thomas'  :)

He looks as committed and full of energy as he ever has to me. He will see it through.

Stephen Paul

hopefully he will, but the pressure from 10 years at the very top and dealing with the media witch hunt is challenging for the mental health 

In Pep we trust

Im certainly not in the Pep out brigade , just genuinely concerned about him

Give me Maine Road any day  ;D

Pep looks disjointed and his private life is a bit of a mess

will he go end of season, I think so

Hesperus

It does seem like his mind is not on it this season. I would imagine the breakdown of his marriage is hanging heavy. I feel for him.

He deserves more time given the amazing success he's brought to the club but I also wonder if what's going on will be just too much for someone as perfection obsessed as he is.

The decision not to strengthen significantly in the summer, which apparently was driven by Pep will set us back by at least a couple of seasons. That was a major mistake.

Swiss

You can see the players are failing him. Not doing the simple things right.
But he needs to lift them.

Lack of hunger, fight and no generals.

Other than Bernardo and Haaland, we don't have players that get under other's skins. We're a bit too nice.

Anyone wanting rid of Pep needs to give their heads a very big wobble

It is an off season. Things have not gone for us in terms of injuries and form. Sure, bad decisions have also been made in recruitment. But years of great decisions were made before them. There is nobody better than Pep to rectify the situation.

Things are going badly for Pep at the moment. On and off the field. But he is a great man and he won't be down for long. You can't really blame his Mrs for getting a bit sick of his obsession with football. The bloke could be relaxing on a beach in Spain with her and instead he chooses to spend winter in Manchester.

No one wants Pep to go , he's the best coach on the planet, but sometimes you know when you have taken a time as far as you can , but only he will know that
