Didn't peller just ink an extension to 2017?

Main talk at the time was that it was to quiet some of the speculation and have a bit of stability. Plus if Pep wanted a year off we would have Pellegrini locked up for another year. It makes sense too.

I'm not a huge fan of swapping managers but really thinking about it, it isn't that bad. Mancini lost the squad and there was a good bit of reported turmoil in the locker room and between Mancini and the board. There was a basis for it.

If this was going down with pretty much any manager besides Pellegrini it wouldn't bother me near as much. Yeah, we're getting Pep...but damn I love Pellegrini. He's about as classy as they get but if you have a chance for Pep, you take him.
