Building of the Pep supremacy is an era that will be defined by sham-ball
What Pep Guardiola knew at Manchester City relates to the true nature of the club and more basic things like spectacle and human nature

Andy Burnham's comments today expose the situation of selling national football teams to foreign states. He's taking a view, at least in one reading of his comments, that corrupting the national game is not as big an issue as potentially losing foreign investment in Manchester.

'The reason Jürgen Klopp builds a team that takes 110 from 114 and wins a European Cup and World Club Cup during that time span...is because they were trying to beat a team that had cheated to the tune of £900m...' ✍️ @knoxharrington.bsky.social column… 👉 Read here: mailchi.mp/theanfieldwr...

Pep "I want every single City fan across the world to know I am here; more than ever. I am, always have been, always will, be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran, the players, staff, Enzo and you, our unique supporters. Let me be clear: we will get through this together. I love you all."

Manchester City supporters (and the people of Manchester) should be furious. Because the first people who have had the piss taken out of them is them. Even now the City statement takes the piss. You are meant to back this pile of bullshit, it says. You are meant to back it unquestionably.

Man City received £949.94m in commercial income from Abu Dhabi sponsors between 2009-2018. Only £119.25m came from sponsors -- the remaining £830.69m were "Tagged Sums" paid by Abu Dhabi United Group (City's owners)

I've listened to a few podcasts in recent days. Primarily Liverpool based. Numerous contributors stating they don't think City should be stripped of titles. I can't get my head around that mindset.

It's painful route the PL has chosen. There could be lean yrs ahead, consequences as yet unimagined. But it is also the right path, because if a sport cannot govern itself, if its regulations can simply be ignored if you’re wealthy enough, it is no longer a sport. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Good game. Spain deserved it. England's issue remains they can't get over the line against elite teams. That's what Tuchel was brought in for. No closer to solving it.

Klopp built Liverpool up from the foundations. It took him 3-4 years before it all came to fruition. In terms of major honours. All done organically and with integrity. A nation state immersed in sportswashing and cheating robbed him of multiple league titles.

As someone on social media stated: They have the memories. They have Kompany, they have Villa. They have the nights out. We don’t have that. We have memories of an incredible, generation defining team who deserved so much more and have been cheated out of it, but can never get it back fully.
