and this must be the best post ever on rawk, just read this shyte!!!!
I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories, but City have raised the bar so high for cheating that nothing would surprise me any more.
A club spending far more than anyone else, with sponsors that are mostly from Abu Dhabi, managed by a former drug cheat, with players that rarely get injured (and never seem to drop in energy), playing games where they repeatedly get favourable decisions from match officials - many in critical games that decide titles. Plus a manager and players that regularly scream and shout at match officials, or manhandle them without punishment.
The whole club reeks of corruption, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if there was far more to this scandal than has already been made public - including payments to UEFA, payments to the 2 CAS judges they nominated, payments to match officials and journalists, and drug taking throughout the squad.
If you do even the slightest bit of digging into Guardiola's past, he's linked to multiple instances of drug taking - either personally, or with the players he's managed, or with the club doctors he's employed. One of the 3 doctors implicated in the Lance Armstrong/US Postal Team scandal was also a club doctor at Barca whilst Guardiola was playing, and there were doctors with questionable links to doping scandals at Barca throughout Guardiola's time as manager - during which they had multiple surprise visits from UEFA to test up to 10 players at a time.
Guardiola's claims of innocence, and saying he wants the case resolved quickly and will 'walk if he's been lied to' are utter horseshit. He's as complicit in this whole charade as much as anyone, which makes the nauseating love-in about his coaching ability as hard to accept as City's financial accounts and sponsorship deals. He's an egotistical, insecure, covert narcissist that has never challenged himself at the highest level, and would not have achieved anything in the game had he not been gifted the best crop of Academy players in history, or managed Bayern in a one team league, or joined the biggest cheats in the history of world sport.
This is also a club owned by a despicable nation state without an ethical or moral code, or any regard for rules or human rights. Compared to what they do in their own country, this financial fraud and all the other possible cheating is a mere drop of oil in their ocean of tyranny, greed, and bullying.
Fuck the lot of them, and burn the club to the ground as soon as possible - including that fraud of a manager.
