Dear @PepTeam, There is a very good chance you will not see this post and for good reason. Mine is but one among the outpouring of love, gratitude, and tribute to you, our greatest manager ever, the greatest manager of all time. When I began my journey as a City fan in '02, we were nowhere near what we are today. And the choice to follow this club, made in spite of my United-supporting dad, was not made with success or guarantees of trophies in mind. I still remember becoming enamoured with Sun Ji Hai, seeing him soldier on with blood streaming from his head against Southampton. The FA cup replay comeback against Tottenham in '03, perhaps my favorite City game ever. My love-hate relationship with Joey Barton began that day. Despite our struggles in the following years, I didn't care. Friends would tease me, wearing their red shirts, and I didn't care. Maybe I didn't know any better but City was my team and that's all that mattered. These were the early memories of City that still bring my happiness. I did wonder though when and if our time would ever come. I remember telling my dad over and over again that one day, it'll be different. And as dad's do, he'd laugh, roll his eyes, and say "sure." Even when word of Sheikh Mansour's takeover broke, I didn't really care because I didn't know what to think of it. And I had no idea how much everything was about to change. An FA Cup followed. And seeing Aguero score against QPR to win us our first title in 44 years was a feeling I thought I'd never replicate. A dream come true. But to not only match but exceed that feeling? Not a chance.. at least I thought. And yet, I was happy. I still dreamed of winning the UCL. Trebles? B2b titles? Centurions? Truthfully, they weren't even dreams because I couldn't even dream that big. Things that weren't even in the realm of my wildest imagination. But then, you came. And how am I to thank you for making the unfathomable a reality? What so many younger fans call "the standard" now? In many ways, I'll look back at this period of life as one of my happiest in memory. Beyond the trophies, the success, the records broken, the best days of my life to date took place while you were here. I started my company the year you arrived, married the love of my life the year of the treble, was blessed with news of my son shortly after the 4peat, started a second company, and through it all, the ups and downs of adulthood, you and City were a constant. A getaway, a reprieve from everything. After 20 years of following this club, still MY team. And I think that's part of what made you and your tenure so special. What makes it personally harder, more emotional to see you go. This wasn't just a job for you in the same way City isn't just a club for me. Call it love, family, whatever you want. The success made it sweeter but the way you embraced us, the City, the organization.. you leave me, us, everything in a better place to the best of your ability. While it felt like you and City were meant to be forever, it seems surreal that we've run out of time together. Despite all the bravado and contrarian posts to dispute the noise, I had a gut feeling that this was coming sooner than later. And even though I've said a lot already, I feel it isn't sufficient. There will never be enough words to truly thank you. I am endlessly grateful for you and your impact at my club, in my life. And I cannot wait to proudly be able to tell my son stories of just how legendary the Pep years were. Sincerely, A grateful fan.

Josko Gvardiol is set to sign a new #ManCity contract until 2031, further confirmed by @Jack_Gaughan. 🇭🇷✍️

I genuinely don't understand how/why City fans are complaining about this. - We need him and he wants us. - He's arguably and statistically the best midfielder in the Premier League, hasn't even hit his prime years yet. - Other teams have paid similar (and higher) prices for similar transfers in recent years. - It's not our money and clearly, we are willing to pay it because we can afford it. - Contributes to HG quota. - English national It's about as perfect and necessary of a transfer as a transfer could be. It's like they'd rather we walk away over a couple million and end up in the exact mess we've been in because of inadequate and underwhelming second or third choice signings again. Then they'll massacre those guys for not being good enough, rinse and repeat. You want to win actual trophies or net spend ones on twitter.com?

Yesterday, one of my former clients passed away in a helicopter accident at the age of 32. Voice gone, eyes burning, calves sore from jumping and celebrating the Knicks championship win all night long.. I was still hungover on Sunday when I received the news. After feeling such immeasurable, long-awaited joy, everything came crashing down to earth with one conversation. How is life so sweet one moment, only to be so cruel mere seconds later?

They’re already trying but don’t ever let them twist the narrative.
