Guardiola to be found out in the premier league

[PaulPowersTash]

I'm going to be openly ridiculed for this, but here goes......

FFP dead(ish) and a huge win for City / Abu Dhabi / Pep, wait and watch now while stories start to emerge about doping, Nandralone, Pep's Drs (Cugat and Segura), teams under Pep (inc Man City) going missing for scheduled drugs test & the links to Fentes etc....

Yep. You can see it happening. Keep on with the project to discredit City. Keep the club under
suspicion and under a cloud. Eventually Pep gets to the point where he's had enough and
jumps ship. However, they must be very naive if they think that the succession planning
for Pep's exit is not already underway. I don't have a clue who will be brought in to replace
him, but the top brass at City will - for sure. The whole thing is just witch hunt to try and curtail
or remove the most serious competitor they have. When you get clubs like Burnley signing letters
to UEFA and being part of the Hateful Eight it does start to make you wonder. Burnley - I ask you?!

Make no mistake about it - this is an orchestrated campaign against City.
The Plan - B now Plan - A has gone completely belly up is for the PL to instigate
their proceedings against the club. They fully understand that they have absolutely no
chance of winning, but that is not their aim. Their aim is to drag this on for another year
or two. All of the time the image of City and their achievements is tarnished & diminished.
It creates doubt and uneasiness with current and potential future sponsors. It keeps up
the narrative that City are guilty and they are the good guys trying to put a stop to it
and save football from the evil empire. So they will lose, but still win.
I also have to say that the PR department at City is either non existent or completely
and totally inept (I think the latter). For the club to lose the narrative within the media as
badly as we have done just 48 hours after what can only be described as a spectacular
victory is nothing short of diabolical and gross incompetence. There is no way any other
top club would have lost this so badly, so quickly. We have might have the best legal team
in the business but we definitely have the worst PR people in the business on our books also.

I disagree about the City PR department being non-existent. I think it's the PR of the others that dominate the media and have swamped City's output.

I still want to know how it all came out via Der Spiegel. I am sure that the story was known in our press but I suspect given that it was from hacked accounts by someone who is now under arrest for it, and so obviously dubious that even they wouldn't touch it. I presume that the big European clubs were more than happy with getting the news out and Der Spiegel was a convenient place to spread the muck from.

@number4 is probably quite right, that there'll be a smear campaign to try and drag City's reputation through the muck.

If City had any dirt on the rs PED regimen, then now would be a very good time to bring it out.

Arteta if he does well at Arsenal.

Burnley I reckon are happy with their position of being able to keep in the Premier League and maintain the cash flow in whilst being able to withstand any challenge from newly promoted teams. FFP helps them in that respect.

Got to laugh at Pep - he's ranting at everyone at the moment which is a sure sign of guilt, including Wenger (Who never had an oil state backing him) and Fergie (Who relied on a mighty worldwide commercial machine to power Utd), he's an absolute fraud. City are an oil state blocking progress of clubs like ours.

Which club are you representing here?

Oh hello.

Mostly posts in man City, or stadium threads.

You're right on Sheikh Mansoor in effect being like an oil state considering his massive wealth and power in the Middle East state, he's bought City and his wealth will and has transformed them. PSG are a Qatari oil state team too.

This though cannot be used as a justification of the particularly vindictive and nasty ganging up of the already 'established' massively elite cartel to protect themselves from any new aspiring club being able to join. They even totally disregarded their own rules on timeimits to try and get their kangaroo court's verdict out. Don't kid yourself any new club effectively transformed and competing can be done via some sort of evolutionary incremental gradual process, evolving over a number of years as the likes of Klopp and the established cartel want you to believe

It can't unless you're prepared to wait the 50 or 100 years it might take when your great great grandson might see it. FFP is about the rich established elite clubs trying to stop anyone else from competing with them, and always was.

Imagine the scenes if citeh go on to win the CL

Talk about rubbing salt in UEFA's wounds.

Read his comments today about English football’s awards system being based around Liverpool. I’m not Guardiola’s biggest fan but he’s spot on especially getting his words printed by the very papers that are a huge part of the problem.

It does also just show how Klopp and Liverpool have cultivated the ability to live in their rivals’ heads rent free.

You are joking aren’t you? This is not something Klopp has created. The entire media and the football establishment have always blown smoke up their arses and basically forced them on people 24/7.

He’s added to it more than anyone else could have (aside from probably Mourinho), just look at the Frank Lampard stuff, everyone is lauding Lampard as a hero when in reality Klopp has played him like an absolute puppet
