Every single media outlet is scared stiff of them for some reason

They are extremely litigious. The Mirror had the hacking story a year before the Times, but in their own words: “We were legalled out of it”
Not worth the expense for the media to engage with them.

Hi Pep, you’ve been here six seasons, had the biggest squad in the whole wide world with an unlimited transfer budget. You chose not to play John Stones in the second leg nor Cole Palmer. If you don’t qualify for the CL next season, will you send Foden out on loan for more playing time, will you resign from your role and in the style of the greatest manager ever to have existed will you recommend to your state owned club that they appoint Gareth Taylor to be the next manager. If that is the case how would you feel when he wins the one trophy that you have never won by relying on a spine of Roebuck, Greenwood, Stanway and Shaw and reverting to playing with a traditional number nine.

If he's read the article in the echo, he will be asking why Pep let Milner go to Liverpool on a free when he was the only player with the backbone to have stopped the Madrid comeback. Talk about distorting the truth for their dysfunctional readership.

Because they are British but we are dirty Johnny foreigners in their eyes, the wankers.
Yes well done Rangers

Speaking as someone who doesn't live in the UK I'm genuinely shocked at the English hatred for my beloved club.
Media, Twitter. English football fans are delirious that we got knocked out.
In some ways I really miss the club I supported as a boy. A club that was respected with a wonderful team of Messrs Lee Bell Summerbee, Young etc.

Someone tell me why it's morally wrong to be Russian, rich and move you and your money out of Putins murderous cesspit to Dubai where your lifestyle won't be hamstrung or your wealth dramatically reduced because of western sanctions on the country when you haven't stolen the money from anyone or been put on the sanctions list for reasons of kleptocracy or nepotism.

Every single Russian who has managed to get a few roubles together is clearly an Oligarch. No lawyers, accountants, entrepreneurs just gangster oligarchs……it’s not racism of course.

It's even more galling living here amongst it pal

How low can the Telegraph stoop. To build a story essentially accusing Pep of being racist on the comments of a crooked agent (who was sacked by Ya Ya Toure after his previous comments) is disgusting. It is easy to fill newspapers with quotes from people who are crazy with no context or balance. This is not journalism. The Telegraph really is totally shite.

It's just racism I am afraid. The UK media is covertly racist (it used to be overt). But it's all behind closed doors. The hatred of City started as soon as we were taken over by Sheikh Mansour. There is no such hosility to other club owners, including those from the US. People who doubt this is happening are in denial.
My career has led me to spend some time in football boardrooms and I have been shocked by the level of racism I have privately witnessed from Club Directors (at some well known clubs), often on occasions when my hosts did not know my football allegiances. What some (not all) of these so-called football people say privately bears no relation to their public persona. There's plenty of anti-semitism as well. Football is a very dirty business behind the scenes.

90% are Liverpool, United and Arsenal fans, the ones who got their noses put out of joint the worst with our success, until Liverpool's resent resurgence. The hypocrisy is galling considering they bought all the best players and divvied up the prizes between themselves prior to that. The rest are brain dead trolls whipped up to hysteria by the media. They trot out all the untrue clichés, oil money, cheated the rules and we can spend what we like, all bollocks and has been since ffp was hastily implemented to stop us. Fuck them I wish we'd keep winning everything to sicken them even more.
