Knighthood for Pep

[Tbilisi]

Knighthoods are for the establishment, hence Liverpool and utd managers getting them.

City are not part of this set up and that’s what makes us different (and so disliked).

Pep is the greatest modern manager. He doesn’t need a knighthood to confirm this.

Liverpool are not English though. ;)

No not because he’s doesn’t deserve a major honour in recognition of his achievements but because the honour system is antiquated and corrupt. I would never call anyone Sir Wouldn't want Pep associated with the despicable characters like Saville who have been honoured and the leader of the socialists is knighted which says it all

It is customary for the DPP to be knighted on exit from office.

As a socialist (alleged) he could have refused
Proves my point about the (dis)honours system, why is customary to give awards for certain jobs on leaving regardless of how well they did? It like all those medals the royals wear absolute farce

In any case, I believe Pep is in line for PM of the independent republic of Catalonia when that day dawns.

He's not getting any knighthood. The same with any City player winning a Balon Dor. Not happening when you play for us. Earling proved that last season.

Yes but the difference is that we're taking the piss rather than really mean it

I don't think all are seeing it so ;-)

 

[Brightwell’s left peg]

If it means he has the right to drive a flock of sheep to the swamp and shit all over the place, I’m all for it.

Disrespectful. Pep is the King not a measly knight

 

[Alfie Budd]

He lobbied his mate, war criminal, Alistair Campbell for it

He didn’t have to do any lobbying. The first Blair government handed out gongs to sports and the arts like it was going out of fashion. Ferguson was a big supporter of New Labour and very close to Campbell who was at the height of his influence within Downing Street in 1999. It was Campbell’s idea to give him the knighthood.

Did Baconface get knighted for his services to football or services to the whisky drinking community? Probably the latter knowing the old piss can.
