If he's fined by the FA he will pay it but, thanks to our loss to Wigan, the problem goes away now for a while as the FA Cup is the only competition we play under FA rules. That's why he was warned twice (after the Burnley & Cardiff games) and charged after the Wigan game. The problem has now gone away for 10 months.
In the meantime the owners will have a quiet word with him and he'll not publicly display it if it's still an issue when we next play in the FA Cup.

Precisely. City won't be best pleased behind the scenes - particularly because of the rash of comment about the UAE it's caused.
What do you think Peps response would be if the club told him to stop wearing the ribbon?

I doubt very much the club would be so blunt about it as that.
But I have to say, Pep is behaving like a pillock. Here in the UK, the FA make the rules, he knows the rules and he's flaunting the rules. He should stop being an arse and wear the ribbon out of view during match times, or do some other protest.
If it was any other manager at any other club, I think we'd have little sympathy.
FFS, no he is not behaving like a pillock. Just because he is managing your club does not mean you can dictate his priciples and beliefs. Yes he could simply not wear it for 2 hours but to Pep that is not the point. The more he wears it and the more trouble he gets it the greater the cause is highlighted. Yes it is going to lead to a touchline ban and yes it is going to effect (affect ?) our club but you cannot switch your emotions on and off. Look at when Christian women are asked to remove the cross from around their neck, to Pep it is the same, he feels as strongly about these issues as Christians do.
Where this is going to end I haven't got a scooby but i do not see Pep abiding by the rule.
To be honest, I've though the same.
Behaving like you think you are above the rules is just not cool. Pep's stock is at a huge high right now, and this silly spat is a shame because it will only damage his image. The FA are in hole since they cannot be seen to have one set of rules for Pep and another one for everyone else. He's going to have to back down, so the sooner he gets on with it, the better imo.
Pep is not arsed about looking cool. He wants to highlight what he believes to be a disgraceful situation so he wants the publicity.
Also in answer to you and Oakie who keep saying about Peg and or one rule for one and one for everyone else. The GPC ignored the BBC for 7 years, everyone else had to do interviews whether they wanted to or not so the FA have always had double standards. Occassionally they very quietly fined him but he never backed down.
Which is worse, sticking to your principles that the BBC should never have done a documentary on your bent (allegedly) son or sticking to your principles that men are unjustly and wrongly imprisoned ?

Maybe the coaching staff will wear yellow kit to avoid the situation in 2018-19?If he's fined by the FA he will pay it but, thanks to our loss to Wigan, the problem goes away now for a while as the FA Cup is the only competition we play under FA rules. That's why he was warned twice (after the Burnley & Cardiff games) and charged after the Wigan game. The problem has now gone away for 10 months.

Prestwich_Blue can you, or anybody, reassure me that this is true, as the whole thing is an unnecessary distraction.
I'd advise the club not to get involved with this, otherwise I think I know what his response would be...What do you think Peps response would be if the club told him to stop wearing the ribbon?

well, why would he post it otherwise?
