I dont care if Henderson is painted as a saint, if he gets the players' support in stopping this then he can have all the accolades he wants. The players are the power

Plus he seems a decent guy off the pitch
Some fans can't leave their bitterness towards other clubs behind when something so monumental that is bigger than rivalries is going on.
 
Hes got balls mate, The club needs Pep more than he needs us.

That's always been the case.

I'm City til I die, we all are, and we all know that City will endure long after Pep, I and everyone in here has gone. But there can be no denying that right now we're Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. Pep has won more in his career than the club has won in its entire history, but while Pep and the players will forever be associated with this golden period, the history of Manchester City, what it is to be City, belongs to the fans and to those that went before us passed on to those that come.

Our present owners are just temporary custodians, Soriano has no childhood memory of having to paddle through the piss at the godawful urinals at Maine Road, he's just a journeyman, they all are.

Me, you, our dads and granddads and the kids to come, they're City, everyone else is just passing through.

Not surprising something like this has happened. Pep was dead correct - everyone looks after themselves. Just look at this season; PL didn’t give a sh1t when they started this season late and insisted on a FULL season no matter what, including both national cups, the International matches and they couldn’t give a stuff when players had to play up to 3 matches on an International fortnight even when some of those were friendlies. City players have been playing 2 or 3 times, on occasions, a week and nobody UEFA, FA, PL and so on give a stuff if players are tired/injured etc.

Lump into that the atrocious way we have been treated by UEFA and the appalling way VAR has been implemented and not to mention the officiating.
 
Fair play to him for getting this out there first but I suspect there's been plenty of discussions between players and captains over the last couple of days but he's the only one who's got his agent/publicist to get this to the press.
Having said that if it helps stop this shit show then I couldn't care less if the Sir Hendo and Sir Marcus of Rashford PR teams get them gold statues outside of Buckingham Palace as part of it.

Oh of course, texts etc internally and to friends at other clubs but he's taking a co-ordinated approach with all captains to get their views.

As I say, I dont care if he's painted as a saint or the one that stopped the SL when this is all done. If his meeting helps then good on him. Any action taken by fans, players, managers, other clubs, ex players etc to help stop this has to be commended.
 
How is this a bad thing? Fair play to him.

Everyone here would be cheering Fernandinho on if he’d done the same thing

Agreed. Dont care who it is, someone needs to come out from the players side and shoot this shit down. If its Henderson, so be it, might carry even more weight seeing as its his and rag shithouses that are the driving force behind this shambles.
 
A little. We already knew that a few clubs were behind what happened with Der Spiegel, FFP & CAS. There were 6 particularly, I'm told, with the US-owned PL clubs prominent.

We've paid very careful attention to what's gone on between those clubs and UEFA and, like Michael Corleone in The Godfather, we seem to have been waiting for our chance to strike.

That doesn't mean that I'm saying that I'm quietly confident that we've pulled a masterstroke here. It could just as easily have been a genuine and monumental error of judgement. So it'll be interesting to see how it develops.

What's the strike in this context? Is it joining them and being needed to help them achieve what they want? Or is it a different game, to lead them down a garden path and make them look bad?
 
That's always been the case.

I'm City through and through, and City will endure long after Pep has gone, but right now we're Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

They might of been godawful urinals to you, but they smelt lovely on a cold winters day :)
