He isn't emotionally attached to this club like most of us are. Which, to be quite honest, is perfectly understandable considering.
His opinions usually come across as that of a neutral.
I wasn't referring to our club, was just a genuine question about his attitude towards employment that he explained earlier. I was just interested as I feel very differently about what I do and feel a responsibility to the people I work with. I feel bad now as somebody has called him a **** due to my question.
On topic, I liked what Pep said and, along with complimenting Sterling for using less social media, helps to make it clear what is expected from our players. Love his press conferences at the moment. The wtf comment being the best.

This is exactly what the club has needed for a long time. A Machiavellian football man wielding power.
Come on man, I've been insulted to death on here. My opinions are not always popular, so insults come with the territory. I'm okay with that. Love CIty as much as the next guy, but i try not to let my emotions get the better of my reasoning. Sometimes I'm wrong and emotions actually do aid better reasoning. But those times are fewer than when emotions erodes reasoning. So i like to stay on the stoic part of the fence. Anyway, I'm cool with being called whatever. Not coz i have a great sense of humor by the way, but rather coz I don't think anyone owes me any courtesy... That's how I roll :)Not sure Dax is going to like being called a **** mate. They don't have the same sense of humour over there.

The thing is the City hierarchy back Pep 100%..they have been planning for this moment for years..he could ask the squad to wear pink tutus and the Sheikh would make it happen
You could never say that about any previous Manager..looks like Pep has total control

Joshua, 2008 changed a lot of things for a lot of people and for me personally it was an eye opener. Sure I liked my job, and I do (or did) for my coworkers as much as any other person. But that wasn't what I was getting at... The point was about feeling owed. I don't feel I am owed for what I've done. Either I was paid, or would have done it anyway coz I loved it... But I don't feel others owe me in future or if I'm let go coz the economy tanked, that I was owed for how much effort I put in prior. (Well, I did feel that way before 2008) It is that feeling of being owed something. I see it everywhere. And I wonder why it is so prevalent when in fact you are not owed. And It took the 2008 fallout for me to see it clearly.I wasn't referring to our club, was just a genuine question about his attitude towards employment that he explained earlier.

It's not about the money (well it is .. Pay me!) :) But yes, you are probably right, my moving out of the corporate world experience was one of can't wait till I got out type of deal. 2012. I quit as I was doing something I liked and controlled my life more. Even though I was making less money in the beginning. So yeah, I guess my response to you was actually factual. I like what I do so much more now. And being my own boss makes it so much more enjoyable.

I guess the fact that I don't work in the corporate sector makes my experience very different. Thank you for your detailed response.

That's normal clobber for Winsford, aren't you use to it yet.I`d love to see Yaya in a fucking pink tutu with those legs.
Just read that the his agent has said if Pep wants a war he will get one. What a shitbag. How do these Shiites get so lucky,

I was mates with one until we fell out about seven years ago . He used to look after his retired clients brilliantly. He never forgot how much they contributed to his rise up the profession.who gives a flying fuck what an agent says??, show me one agent who genuinely cared/cares about his player??, all about the agents profile and bank balance, nothing more, nothing less
Life is rarely black and white, mate.

Guardiola has made Seluk look like a fucking idiot!
And when he went on Sky Sports Jim White has made him look like a fucking idiot!
My respect for Jim White went up, the way he spoke to Seluk was class, made him look like a right ****!

No worries. Pep will sort him out.This is exactly what the club has needed for a long time. A Machiavellian football man wielding power.

I bet Pep's loving it. He's been given more freedom to do as wants at the club than he's had at any other club he has managed. It really is a club he can mould in his own image, and he will.This is exactly what the club has needed for a long time. A Machiavellian football man wielding power.

Dimitri Seluk has picked a fight here that he can't win, the board will back Guardiola, and Guardiola is right anyway. Pep's clearly had enough of agents and players thinking they should have the upper hand over the club and the manager, and I agree with his stance. It cannot go on.
Toure is in the latter twilight of his career, he might have a few lung busting runs left in him, but not many. I kind of feel for him as (a) he was good for us, and (b) he's clearly easily led and not too bright (witness the birthday cake incident, another Seluk-led moment). But I've now had my fill of him and his acrid agent, they're obviously inseparable, clearly poisonous, and can both disappear. Quickly. I'll look back on Yaya's best moments fondly, but he was never really a City man. He was here because it was the best pay deal.
