Soccer Masochism

Wonder if Pep Guardiola has an out in his contract: no champee, no comee. Guardiola did not decide to come to Manchester City for Young Boys.

Today was Manuel Pellegrini's final home match with City. He accomplished what he came for: an EPL title, an FA Cup, a Capital One Cup and, most importantly, "this charming man" took City farther in Europe this season than they ever had gone before. Manuel leaves, as did his predecessor, Roberto Mancini, with the immense gratitude of all City supporters.

If Pep does have such an escape clause in his contract he could still come to Manchester of course. He could manage the Manchester club that qualifies for the Champions League, United. Beat me, whip me, thank you.
