Guardiola to be found out in the premier league

I can't think of many to be fair. They have won lots of other trophies though haven't they?

Aside from that, would it make what City have done any difference if they actually won a CL? Surely if your objection is to teams spending money, it doesn't make it any better or worse if they do or don't win trophies?

I understand the frustration towards City too. I felt it for a long time when I was younger, but then I realised there will always be a side who spends more than everyone else and it's just wasted anger. If it's not City it will be United. If it's not United it will be Chelsea. If it's not Chelsea it will be Liverpool. If it's not them it will be Arsenal or Spurs, or Villa or us. Maybe I've become cynical as I've got older, but I just can't get riled about it, or see it as a problem that only came about when Sheikh Mansour rocked up.

Agreed on the bottom part mate.

Guardiola had arguably the greatest club side of all time at Barcelona, he went to Bayern where it's harder for them not to win the league and has come to City with a bottomless pit of cash. He hasn't won the one thing City covet more than anything because they will never go down as a truly great team until the win it. I don't actually think he gets that much stick anyway but your suggestion of racism for people calling out their owners spending over a billion quid is absolutely ridiculous.

It was more racism for reproducing lie after lie about them, that have been proven to the contrary in a court of law.

It could just be stupidity though.

Well making up a conspiracies about people is racist.

So too are phrases like "petrol dollar state" which are clearly employed by those in the west to deligitimise one of the key elements of said states economy. This becomes doubly so when its inferred something is criminogenic about a country trading oil.

It's all just negative stereotyping and reflective of institutional racism.

I'm happy to here your views on it though.

Ok well if you think thats racist then thats your opinion. Absolutely none of the above is racist and throwing allegations like that around is wrong.

Ok. If you dont think its racist that's your view and you're entitled to it.

In my view, making up wild conspiracies about people, lying about them, minimising their achievements and stating that the sectors their economy rely upon are somehow inferior is likely to be racist. Especially when done on a prolonged basis.

It's either racist or its just really stupid. But either way its unhelpful.
