They can poach Klopp

I'd prefer they spatchcocked him.

City have responded to the rumours.

Pep is so narcisistic i could see him leaving when key men like Kompany, Aguero, Silva and Fernandinho are aging. He had Barca and Bayern during their peak years to.

Finishing at PSG before retiring at 54 as the only manager to win it in 5 leagues. Not risking his "greatest of all times" title by managing anything else.

I can’t see him leaving but you never know. Allegri suddenly leaving with a year left on his contract was a bit strange. The Ronaldo transfer suddenly came out of nowhere this time last year, which was a surprise.

I firmly thought Guardiola would stay before taking a national team job before the next World Cup. But he doesn’t stick around in jobs for long.

Let’s wait and see.

Can't see him taking a national team job. Wouldn't suit him at all. He's by all accounts relentlessly intense in terms of tactics and obsessing over them. He practically micro-manages the exact position of every player on the pitch at any given time. National team managers simply don't have enough time with their squads for him to train a team to his methods like that. It's difficult enough for most club managers to adjust but with someone like him it would be even more difficult. He'd have to fundamentally change basically everything about how he coaches teams.

I'd prefer him barbeque'd.

June 1st he gets fried !

Also forgets they are cheating bastards. Saying something else is wrong doesn't make what you are doing right.

United spent 430M in the last 2 years on players. City 360M and Pool 330M. Got no problem with City keeping United away from the Title. I don't feel Citys success is as bought some would have you believe. And they did something Chelsea have never achieved when they were spending big, they played with style.

My link was only by transfer fee and not playing position...that would be interesting reading if I could find it or anyone has that info. Just what does the most expensive team in the world look like ?

You have to look at net spend.

Apart from that though, the whole fuck up is the inequality and lack of competition. Not this country but the whole of europe. How many doubles and trebles were won? The whole sport has gone to shit. Champions league the main culprit.

Super league is not the answer it will just exacerbate the whole thing.

I’ve seen some other reports saying that the la liga boss was making a racial statement with his words. Pathetic from the Man City owner, he doesn’t say anything of the sort, he’s just playing the race card. How is using the phrase “petrol money” racist?

Tebas, a Real Madrid fan, has often been a leading sceptic and recently accused Abu Dhabi-owned City and Qatar-owned PSG of causing massive damage to European football with their ‘petrol money’.

‘I think there’s something deeply wrong in bringing ethnicity into the conversation,’ Mubarak hit back. ‘This is just ugly. I think the way he is combining teams because of ethnicity. I find that very disturbing to be honest.’

In some of their leaked emails from a few years ago, their PR director was very clear what their strategy was- deny, deny, deny and then attack to discredit. This is straight from their playbook, and similar to the PR tactics of Trump and others.

Because he's referring to them both as one and the same, he's targeted the two clubs who have 'Petrol Money' as though they are part of the same ownership or sphere, but they have nothing to do with each other, ones Salafi the other is Maliki. They have nothing k common other than they are non white and Muslim. Did they ever attack RA and Chelsea the same way?

Aren’t they the same though in the way they have sought to get round FFP by using sponsorship etc from companies in their countries to generate ‘inflated’ turnover/funds ?

That’s exactly what the la liga president means, there’s no thinly veiled racial undertones to it.
