Only a flat earth believers would deny that Pep is doping his players and has been doing so his whole career. Disgrace to football.

Had a few players who probably didn't want to go in for all that stuff, but he's rid of them now. Need unity in these things.

Blatant lies as per from the mods. Our boy Samir would do whatever it took to get that extra edge.
@A Lighter Shade of Blue is this a concern for City fans?

Shocking that Arteta allows doping in his team.

From watching the documentary he just sat there in silence while Pep was bashing Wenger from the sidelines. Guy's spineless, can't believe some wanted him as manager here ffs.

I read other day that Leicester in 2016 also use doping in their team.Chelsea in 2005,Bayern in 2013 and Inter in 2010.Every good team use it tbh.

The guy is paid as a PL manager for installing Angry Birds on Pep's Ipad.

You obviously cannot prevent impact injuries through doping. Also if something is completely ruptured you can't do much about it, a lesion e.g. can be treated differently, e.g. with illegal substances.
Even in the first season the players who were fit did over perform physically.
I know it's technically only because Pep is banned so Arteta had to do the press conference in his place, but do we think Arteta is being groomed for the City job itself?
I reckon Pep has only a couple more years there at most, he's too high intensity to stay for longer. But would a behemoth such as City really entrust their first team to Arteta? Organisations of that size and wealth rarely take such risks.
Tbh I still kinda hope he takes over here some day. I think Emery is here to do a rebuild and after maybe three seasons we could look for a change.

But this is Pep's Never Never Land. What he wants he gets. Endless money to buy the technically gifted players he needs for his football to work. A hierarchy putting up with his doping. Grade A salary. Possibility to try and build league domination with City. The challenge of bringing City and Abu Dhabi a CL trophy. Fits like a glove.
The only other things I can Pep see doing is the Spanish NT, some sort of operative/advisor job in one of the Emirates, especially edging closer to 2022 (he won't train them as they are bound to lose and he's too risk averse to e.g. try and steer e.g. Qatar through a WC group). If AC or Inter happen into serious money that could be an option, but to rebuild them he will want at least City money at his disposal.
Would the Spanish football federation accept him, barring in mind his outspoken support for Catalan independence?
That might actually leave the Emirates and the US as his only options once he quits at City. Haven't thought of it but they well might be adverse to hiring Guardiola.

Would Germany or Brazil ever consider a non native? Think the Brazilian federation might be keen if they continue to sh*t the bed every four years.

I don't think so, I hope he gets what he is after, and signs the new contract, he gets slated a lot here in England, for daring to better himself by leaving the media darlings at anfield, but he was one of the main reasons we did so well last season.
Having said that, if a new deal can't be agreed, then he'll go with my best wishes and most Blues I have spoken to, feel the same way. Unless he joins united, that is!
