It seems ironic that a manager’s future is in doubt when less than two months have passed since he renewed his relationship with the club he works for, but then why should I ask him? Pep Guardiola himself in May last year was forceful about what at the time was a rumour, according to testimony gathered by El País newspaper, that City were not telling the truth about their finances:I want to represent a club that does things right. It’s not just about winning the Champions League or the Premier League. We want to do things right, for our people and for our fans“.
Furthermore, after the 1-1 draw against Everton for the 18th matchday of the Premier League on Saturday, December 31st, the Sandpendor-born man dropped a statement at the press conference that caught the eye:The moment I feel something is wrong, I will resign or not renew my contract. I won’t stay like that (Alex) ferguson (at Manchester United) either (Arsen) Wenger (at Arsenal)”, to which he added:A contract is just a piece of paper. I extended my commitment to the club because I believe the team can still do well under my leadership. In the end, it’s all about the result. If we tire each other out, I won’t stay until the end because of the contract.“.
