Hey walken. I dunno about any dodgy corruption he is involved in but as a coach he is no fraud despite only managing at the top level. Weve been through this before but leaving aside whatever came after in his career he still stepped up to the top level for the first time and for the first two seasons....at least...produced arguably the best football/team the sport has seen. The before and after at the club was strikingly different. Its a nonsense to dismiss this. I watched as the confidence on and off the pitch of the whole club changed.

Now the board are most definitely are corrupt and arrogant and I would love to see them banned from football.

What possible ban do you mean? Repercussions from this super league talk?

I see UEFA didn’t realise how much money City were flowing into the Etihad through dodgy advertising and how much their ownership was “deceiving them”.

Detestable club and a lot of what is wrong with football.
 

Pep is clearly a tremendous manager but I think people go way overboard. In the last month I've heard that he launched Toni Kroos career (Kroos was a fantastic player and key to a CL winning side the year before Pep arrived) and that his Bayern team's tactics were the key to Germany getting over the hump to win the World Cup (a huge reach even before factoring in he only went to Bayern 10 months before the tournament and he couldn't have revolutionized an entire country's style that quick.) It's just strange how people think they have to give credit to Pep for everything. He's done plenty and there is more than enough to praise him for without going crazy.

Also not sure he's doing the youngsters at City any favors right now. Zinchenko was a promising central midfielder who was turned into a wingback out of necessity, Foden isn't improving by coming on when they're 4-0 up and playing an occasional midweek game and that also goes for a bunch of their other young players. Not that it really matters to City if any of them actually work out. But from a player's standpoint I can't decide if going to City at a young age and getting into the world class facilities is worth it if you almost certainly won't get the game time once you get to a stage that you need it.

Going to city at a young age is a terrible idea. Something like 1 in 400 make it at city apparently. They snap up kids so other teams can’t sign them.

Complete nonsense tbh. They snap up young kids, give them a great education both on and off the field and if they don't make it to the first team they sell them. The academy isn't just about bringing in players to the first team, it's another revenue stream. City make a tidy profit every year from selling young players. Any kid not good enough to make it in football will at least have had the benefit of a public school education.
