Yes, Man City have a persecution complex but Jurgen Klopp was wrong to call FFP verdict 'not good for football'

"But disagreeing with the rules is no justification for obstructing investigators examining if a club has broken them.

City’s gleeful response to a reduced punishment of £9 million based on technical deficiencies in the disciplinary process exposed the depth of their persecution complex.

Upon hearing the verdict, they reacted with the joy you expect when a club wins a trophy, Pep Guardiola posting a selfie before setting his sights on Uefa for trying to implement rules and the clubs pressuring the governing body to do so.

The most laughable image is of City being a lilywhite organisation subject to attack from a hostile cabal of eight elite clubs. For the record, one of the eight clubs is Burnley. I am not sure how City, or those pleading on City’s behalf, can make the argument they are revolutionaries fighting the system and keep a straight face. Oil-rich sovereign nations are not and never will be ‘plucky underdogs’.

Add to that the content of an email from a City lawyer joking about the death of one of Uefa’s overseers and, whatever the rights and wrongs of how those documents were obtained and leaked, you find yourself in danger of losing balance on that moral high ground.

In summary, the outrage towards City and City’s outrage is pure tribalism. It demeans everyone when the juvenile spats of social or even mainstream media are encouraged and fed by the clubs."

Pep Guardiola did not post a selfie.

You’d have thought having evidence that is in no way valid would be a bit of a sticking point when bringing a case. But no, you’d be wrong.

Also note how he uses the exact same words as Klopp, ex-Dortmund. Shows how they are all colluding, whispering, to bring this smear campaign upon us.

Another perverse comment this time by the CEO of BVB to add to Klopps.

Interesting that an appeal to CAS that shows the UEFA as judge, jury and executioners who passed City guilty with evidence that was not sufficient, not credible or was inadmissable yet he feels City should still be considered guilty even though cleared of wrong doing. We were found guilty of not co-operating with what appears to be trumped up charges heard in a kangaroo court. We will know more when CAS publishes its findings.

Hans-Joachim Watzke (BVB CEO) may believe "it wasnt a good day for football" but it was a good day for fairness and justice.

They should do it with someone like Lineker, not in-house media.

The reality is they could exert total control over the whole interview, allowed questions in writing beforehand, final say over the edited interview before release etc. but they'd get a lot more credibility from non-City fans who see in-house media as basically just a propaganda platform (this was genuinely widespread as a reaction after Soriano's interview) and a platform that's orders of magnitude bigger.

Lineker is so desperate for relevance he'd be softer than marshmallow to get the interview.

I beleive Khaldoon did one under similar circumstances in November 2019 with Sky - his first interview with national media.

It all comes down to who you are speaking to. If you want to speak to City fans, put it on the City website. If you're trying to put your side of the story out to the public, do it in public.

That's a good point. I agree, if we do want to go down this route an external interview would be a better way to do it.

They don't even realise how contradictory their comments are. They want City to follow UEFA rules but don't expect UEFA to do the same.

Summary: if City would just accept the bullying there would be no bullying.

Similar to: if the oppressed would just accept their place there wouldn’t be any oppression.

One of the oldest bad faith arguments put forth when the wronged fight back.

Rather rich coming from a scouser, as well, isn’t it?

There is absolutely no way that bitter little spitter wrote that all on his own. Too many big words. I wonder who helped put those twisted words together for him?

Have I got that right that a Scouse Liverpool fan has just said that City have a “persecution complex”?

I think 2020 just jumped the shark.

I wish these scousers would get off our dick!

Celebration should be forbidden?! What a smacked arse.

No big irony from Dortmund, making Jude Bellingham the highest-paid teenager in world football on £60k a week and £30m to Birmingham.

Watzke can always remind us of the time Dortmund went almost bankrupt buying players to win the Champions League and then were financially bailed out by Bayern.

Being forced to suck their cock ever since.

Crooked ****s have already agreed to a shady backdoor deal with Raiola that allowed them to sign Haaland.
