00:00Do you think this could be the last year that Pepper's sitting?

00:03Yeah, I do. I do. I thought that maybe last year as well. The intensity that he works at

00:11is quite incredible. You know, I think Jurgen Klopp stepped away from it because of the intensity he

00:16was working at. I think the same could apply with Pepper as well. I mean, how he drives and you've

00:22only got to look at his body language game by game by game. The way he turns it out is quite

00:28incredible. But it wouldn't surprise me if this was his last season and I think City have got to

00:35be guarded and ready for that because there could be a big drop-off when he walks out. You've only

00:40got to look across the city of Manchester and see the Alex Ferguson scenario when he left on

00:46the drop-off from there. But listen, Man City fans have got to look and say we've had a brilliant

00:52decade or so. They've been unbelievable but they've got to replace him and it'll be really

00:57important that they get the right replacement when the time's right. I personally hope that he

01:02stays in English football for another decade because watching his teams and the brand of

01:08football that he's played at Man City is football like I've never seen before in my lifetime.
