Yep, I reckon Pep could quit if they don't win the Champions League and don't miraculously win the PL. He isnt a fan of competition and was solely bought into win the CL. I just wish FIFA and UEFA had the balls as well as funds to really do them for financial irregularities. But even if they don, if/when Pep goes they will drop a level.
^ You're right about Pep, he never struck me as someone who is up for a dogfight. However he is a man of his word in fairness to him and he said he will "100% be City manager next season". So I say he is gonna chuck around 200 million quid at his squad (probably on centre backs) and see if he can regain the title from a Liverpool team that certainly look to be in their prime (and can hopefully do the same job next season
)
After next season though he's gone either way I reckon.
Well to be fair this is the first time he is under real pressure, this Liverpool team is young. Younger than that City team, a team that could no doubt compete up until Klopp leaves. If he stays he'll definitely spend 300m this summer if not more, they'll want to get back to being uncatchable. They will without a doubt spend far more than us. But I do agree, most likely next year is his final one.
Are we actually going to do any trade at the end of the transfer window Friday? We never seem to be mentioned and most of the time hive out players on loan. Any rumours of any happening?

Nope all quiet, which is a sign of a well run system regarding transfers in my view. Only rumours about Havertz from Salzburg joining in the summer and speculation over Wijnaldum's contract situation.
Don't think there are many young players going on loan, Brewster was the only one and he has already gone to Swansea.

Na our business is done. Minamino in Brewster out on loan. Unless someone comes in for Clyne late on I don’t see anything happening, certainly not int terms of ins or major outs.
i suspect if anyon does come in for Clyne, I guess they will wait till summer and when he's back fit and playing again I guess

The amount of times they were investigated for financial irregularities I think probably outweigh far more than any other club. I think, I know several transfers over the years were suspicious but I think to be honest, whatever money trails that were linked to those transfers probably will never be which as it that raised the most eyebrows that was investigated? I do think eventually any further irregularities swill eventually catch up with and agree the FIFA & UEFA should grow ballsand finally hit them with everything they've got.
I Agree Liverpool has been phenomenal this season just don't go unbeaten please, the invincibles tag is all we have left

Don’t think it’ll happen. Will be happy to go past Nottingham Forest’s record of 42 though..(fuck I really used to hate that club when they were our bogey side in the late 70s - Cloughie’s Red Bastards we called them)
