Ornstein claiming they'll spend so tough to see any DM not arrive, even if not many options around

In winter under Pep, of players they signed to arrive immediately (rather than after season or loaned straight out) they'd only spent on top10 striker (Jan 2017, won title, crashed out to Pool in CL) and Laporte (2018, won title on points record, crashed out to Spurs)

In deeper shit now than ever under him really with core injured or ageing and forwards offering too little

Curious to see the nerd felt no need to invest earlier. He used to be more proactive
Guess that CL made him soft

His system is dysfunctional currently, because Pep's style demands a world class pivot like Rodri, who can spot runs anywhere at front. Kovacic isn't that, he's Man City's Frenkie De Jong, the safe passer. The other day I had some PTSD watching City vs. Everton - City reverted to playing tiki-taka unable to break through the lines. Parked busses all over.

I wouldn't rush to judgement like "Pep is done, he's finished.". Up to him, if he retires after this season. What I know is Pep's philosophy still works when you have the proper executioner.

Mourinho's biggest strength is he's one of the greatest motivators and loyalists of club values. At his prime he had strong characters at Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid. At Man Utd and Tottenham he had to deal with losers, a mentality he failed to transform. 5-6 years later it's still the same at both clubs.

She moved back to Barcelona a couple of ago as she wanted to be closer to home. I remember it started the rumors about Pep leaving Man City.

Guess it explains why he's gotten crazier lately. 30 years and three kids together. Must suck.

What??? His wife left Pep and the 3 kids?

Poor Pep, no hair and no wife

I read the youngest is with her. Pep has 3 kids, oldest two are in their 20's, the youngest is around 17 (she was born before he was hired, as he said Laporta told him he will be Barca coach when he was in the hospital congratulating him for the child).

The older ones probably live on their own anyway.

Kinda suck, he was with her since he was 18, that is 35 years right there.
