A Red comes in peace.
For me, Pep is one of the best managers the world has seen in modern times, totally committed to his work. Success, yes, at considerable cost had been enjoyed for many years. City, close to my heart, is the team I’d want to win the PL if we didn’t.
Yesterday, like I’m sure many other fans, I expected a totally different game. But there was little fight, a lack of determination on your side. Your first attempt by Lewis, a cracking player on the same track as Foden, one of the very best players in the PL, had your first attempt on gaol in the 39th minute.
Haaland hardly got a sniff. KDB, world class, no question, just wasn’t at the races.
But what did really surprise me was Peps reaction to the ‘sacked’ chants from the Reds fans. The most successful manager (‘in the world?) over the past two decades being sacked??? And taking it seriously??? It was clearly a 101% joke and he should have realised it; his post-match comments on the same was both surprising and disappointing. The fans were taking the rip out of him, our team were better than your team. Yesterday.
Re-build time for City? Undoubtedly. I wish you well in the future.

thats when you fiddling the books and could afford to go out and buy 50/60 million pound players

I thought it was the 100's of Millions we earned from winning trophies and being in the CL every season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You'd better be careful. One of these days your players might be asking for big win bonuses instead of two Twixes and a bag of Liquorice Allsorts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Win bonuses don't really apply to the majority of clubs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh?

United fans sound like bitter Everton fans
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As if you know any Everton fans. None of you on here are from Merseyside. I probably know more Scousers than the lot of you and I'm 30 miles away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Meet you in Croxteth to see how many of us scousers you're pretending to know.
You bring that up so much it comes across as projection. It wouldn't be a surprise if it turned out you're not from Manchester.

He’s not. Couldn’t name the hospital he was born in.

Haahhaahhha. I remember that episode!
Thanks for reminding me.

Oh, that's what you meant. Fair enough. Point was that bonuses eat a fair chunk out of any successful club's revenues.

It makes more financial sense than giving players huge basic contracts

Fair argument, defeated only by the fact that the elite clubs pay huge wages too.

Someone suggested, in that thread, that he was born in a bin outside the swamp.
