Is Pep leaving at the season end?

I'm getting more convinced (hope I'm wrong) that he may be leaving season end.

His attacks on the PGMOL after nine years of silence. (Very welcome by me).

Today his attack on journalists (albeit disguised as jokingly). After all their shit against City over the last ten years and more.

Pep said when asked by a journalist at today's Newcastle pre game press conference 'how much praise director of football Hugo Viana should be given for the transfer activity'.

Pep replied: "Really good. Txiki [Bergiristain] before and Hugo now."

"I am a little bit sad and upset because in net spend the last five years we are seventh in the Premier League. I want to be the first, I don't understand why the club don't spend more money. I am a little bit grumpy with them."

"But like we won in the past because we spent a lot, now six teams have to win the Premier Leagues, Champions Leagues and FA Cups because they spend more in the last five years."

"These are facts. It's not an opinion."

"You can say an opinion, like you say you play good or bad against Spurs - we can agree or disagree. But they are facts. Good luck to the six teams who are in front of us for net spend for the last five years."

"Let's go. I'm waiting. That's a nice quote, eh?"

I think that he will do next season at least and maybe more. Recently, he has seemed as engaged as ever, if not more so. He has built a young team and he wants to see it through. He looks excited at the potential. But clearly there is a lot of work to do on it.

He also seems to be enjoying his little games with the press these days.
