Bloody hell! Winter defending City against Shaun Custis on Talksport this morning, trying to accuse us of circumnavigating rules about signing underage kids. This is in regard to the young American Cavan Sullivan and our arrangement with Philadelphia Union.

Is Winter on our payroll now?

The Scousers, especially the Scousers, and the Rags are very, very bitter today on X/Twitter.

That aside.

Another football writer who doesn't actually like football. No really. His favourite sport is darts.

Why does Liew even cover football? Had a quick scan through his history and he just seems to hatewatch the PL.

Another one of his hard hitting pieces ignores the fact that driven men/managers don't even think about the work/life balance like women do. Choices are choices.

But he writes for a comic like the guardian.

Two female WSL managers are leaving for reasons of work-life balance. When it comes to sacrifice, it’s not the same for men

That is 100% Guardian material. I'm guessing they site 'Wellbeing' in the article somewhere as well. The yogurt knitters will love it.

Jonathon Liew is frankly hurting very bad.

Must admit to knowing nothing about this new American lad. Is he some kind of big shot and we've ruined football again?

I'm surprised they didn't mention that she could have worked from home, no football manager should have to commute 5 miles and leave their children with a spouse or childminder.

It's 2024 FFS :)

Winter kept saying....."have they broke any rules?".

Custis says "No, but they circumnavigated it, a rule brought in to protect young vulnerable African players from being exploited"

Winter: "So you are suggesting this young white14 year old, guided by wealthy American parents is being exploited?"

Custis: "No, no no but the rules are the rules"!

Winter again: "Did they break any?"

Conversation is then swiftly shifted to the 115!

And what was said about the charges.
