United make their own money, it doesn't matter how much they spend.




That is the mentality that exists in the press and the public.

Not only do they make their own money, but they’ve built it up from the equivalent of a corner shop with decades of hard graft and were formed as a football club 500 years before City…

Must be embargo bit, broke at 10.30. Pep coming out swinging.

Manager Pep Guardiola challenges Manchester City's critics to come up with the evidence if they believe the club are breaking spending rules.

Wasn't this in response to a snide comment by klopp who has obviously decided to get his excuses in early this season in case they don't make top 4?
Pretty sure this will have been scripted by the club as pep doesn't tend to shoot his mouth off.

Not sure why were not spending our “earned” money now all those sad farts who say that the money spent in the 90’s was “earned” (what about the millions wasted in the 80s)

I’ve just read that. Great stuff Pep. You sock it to ‘em lad. Our manager, our pride, what a guy.

The nonsense obviously annoys Pep. Wish it would annoy the club to action.

There was a link to an article in yesterday's Echo about Pep's reply but when I clicked on the link it said article not found. Seems it was taken down.

Klopp really is a whiny ****, hopefully Pep will tell him to fuck off when we next play instead of the handshake

 

[Goater=Legend]

He notices the hard work the club puts in from top to bottom everyday and yet daily he has to read shite about the clubs spending which they just try and dismiss what we've achieved since he's been here.

Don't blame him for coming out fighting, I'd be pissed too

All the glowing reports on the bbc yesterday for the red teams, today is our turn.

That tw@ Stone had to mention that our owners are AD based. Did he mention that dippers and raggies owners were US based?

Nothing to stop City fans from acting

The Guardian hosts football discussions. Its message boards are full of discussion trolling Manchester City. It is counter-productive to argue as that just generates revenue for them but if you report those comments that break their community guidelines then they are forced to address or review them and doing so will carry an administrative cost.

See this example. Rather than respond and generate more income and discussion, report the comment anonymously.
