So it is obviously mental to suggest sacking Pep. The guy has done in it all and could easily go on some silly winning run that shoots them up the league.
BUT...
Is there a point at which you think City could actually sack him? If they were relegated you'd have to say yes but that clearly won't happen. But drop out of the CL and miss top 4 enough? Finish 8th? Finish bottom half?
What is the point at which he might actually go or does he get a free pass due to his success to date?

Sack Pep?

I don't see it.
For me City are in a similar position to Liverpool under Klopp two seasons ago. A number of factors led to them starting the season badly, and they needed a rebuild.
Klopp eventually adopted a system capable of getting results before the rebuild happened in the summer. Pep's not an idiot, but he hasn't had to deal with these factors for a while, and at the moment he's floundering.
The reality is that this City side are currently worse than last season, but better than their current position. I expect Pep to find a solution to get them through this season before a summer rebuild.

Not sure the comparison to us 2 seasons ago are quite right. We had basically no defence for quite some time. Not sure city can point to that level of injury , not rely on the excuse in the same way given the money they have spent and could have spent.

City without Rodri is akin to Wolves without Steve Bull in the 90’s.
Obviously Wolves didn’t spend circa £3billion on the rest of the squad though.
Let that sink in Boris.

We absolutely can, to be fair. All of our defenders have been out at some point and those that haven’t have been way overplayed as a consequence, that and in Walkers case in particular, time has caught up with them so they can’t cope with it.

No chance they'll sack him!
They'll just go out in January and spend 00's of millions on a couple of players.

Subject to the outcome of the ffp case.....City will be fine next season. Rodri back and £250m spent on the squad and they will be a threat again.
Only a relegation, huge pts deduction or transfer ban will stop them coming back next season.
Enjoy their current plight whilst you can as I highly suspect it won't last much longer than a season as I don't think the PL panel have the balls to relegate them even if they are found guilty.
