“God, we’ve broken every record that’s worth breaking. mean, 100 points, Centurions, most wins in a season. There’s not a record that’s not been broken that wasn’t worth breaking that you didn’t. You are the man.”
“Hi, Pep. I just want to thank you for showing me how football should be played. I’ve been watching football since I was 13 and I can honestly say… your football has set me so much joy and thank you, thank you very much.”
“Thank you for everything you’ve done. You made it so we’ll see things that we’ll never see and that is one of the biggest things that we could ever ask for. Our team played with heart, with passion and we’ll miss you so much.”
“You’ve been here for my whole life and you’ve made my life so great, thank you.”

“I’ve been watching City for over 60 years and it’s been an absolute privilege to have you as our chair and our leader and our manager.”
“I never thought we’d win anything, and you have created utter magic. We couldn’t have done it without you. You are simply the greatest of all time. You are a legend, not only to Manchester City, but to the game itself.”
“Gracias, Señor Pep. It’s been the best 10 years of my life ever. Never dreamed I’d ever see anything like this in my lifetime. You’ve made my dreams come true. Thank you so much, Señor Pep. Gracias.”
“Hello, Pep. I want you to know that my dad, who was born in 1928, my late father, used to go to Maine Road and he used to say, I didn’t have a seat to myself, I had a road to myself. And he kept going because we are dyed in the wool blues and he would have adored you and what you’ve done for us, he knows and he sees us. God bless you Pep.”
“Pep, you’ve been the best manager of the world. You’ve won us the treble, won the Champions League, won everything, four in a row. And thanks for everything you’ve done over the years.”
“You brought me the 10 of the happiest years of my life. For me to be sat next to my daughters watching the Gundogan goal, watching the Real Madrid 4-0 performance, watching the treble, the quadruple and four in a row means the world to me, and my daughters, and for that I’ll be eternally grateful.”
“My son, he was 10 years old when you joined and it’s just been an incredible journey. Thank you so much, you’ve just done so much for our lives. Thank you.”
“Hi Pep, just to let you know you’re the greatest manager in the world. Thank you Pep.”
“Hi Pep, you don’t know me I’m just one of the hundreds of thousands and probably millions of City fans all around the world who just want to say thank you very much for your tenure, in your 10 years the fourmidables, 100 points, Champions League, you name it, we’ve done it all together.”
“To Pep, or Sir Pep, shall I say, where do I start? We need another 10 years to thank you for the memories you’ve brought to us. It’s just been a hell of a journey, rollercoaster, but just thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
“Just want to say a big thank you for everything you’ve done for us at Man City. We’ll always love you in our hearts. And come on City, City till I die.”
“Pep. They say the best years of your lives are in your 20s. Well, I got to spend my entire 20s following your City team all over the world. You mean the world to us and I can’t thank you enough. Obviously, you you’ve got your name here now etched in the stands and you’ll always be welcome and we’re going to miss you so much, man. Thank you for everything.”
“You went further than my dreams ever could do. You created history like I never thought you could. And I thank you for that. It’s been amazing. I’ve travelled all over England with my mates to Europe, to Jeddah. I’ve seen everything and it’s been amazing. It’s been the greatest time of my life.”
“We’ve been supporting the club since we were little. We’re both in our 60s and we’ve never seen us win so much. Thank you so much.”
“You will forever be a Blue. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. God bless.”
“Pep, right, from all Manchester City supporters all over the world. What a great pleasure it been for you to come to this club and grace yourself perfectly as an ambassador, as a great manager, as a leader and took Man City to the heights it’s been.”
“I’m getting a little bit emotional now so I’m going to just finish with saying thank you so, so much for everything you did for us. Really appreciate it. Thanks.”
Pep: “I have to say thank you all of them. So that’s for sure that all together we are creating emotions. Otherwise the people cannot feel that.
“It’s not when you say the title, the title, but with touch is when you talk about, you know, when talk fathers with the daughters together and the daughter remember father that is not here with us anymore. That is all about, you know.
“That is of course have been good, but all the memories that we can all together deliver to them and them to us, that is what makes sense.
“Yeah, I always say thank you. I don’t know why. So sometimes you connect and sometimes you don’t connect. And I feel like I connect since I arrived.
Asked, do you feel Mancunian now, Pep replied: “Absolutely, of course I’m part of that. Always I will be.”
