Reminds me of the time when Moyes defended his United team's woeful 2-2 home draw with Fulham by pointing out that they'd put in 81 crosses. Fulham had 6 foot 7 Dan Burn at centre back and only 18 of those 81 crosses reached a team mate. The 21 year old novice Burn cleared 22 of them himself.

Remembering David Moyes & Man Utd's ridiculous 81 crosses against Fulham

Right, so you know tactics? Looking at an opponent's strength and weaknesses to decide how to approach a game? When you see a centre-back who stands at 6'7 lini

Sounds like klipperty need to get Moyes on board.
 
Jordan banging on about a wage cap when in fact we had a way of strangling wages and control at clubs in premier it was premiership ffp rules.

Read this it shows the initial rules in 2013.

Here’s a snippet of it>>


“Regarding the salary control restrictions, only a £4m increase in the wage bill for PL clubs will be allowed. If a PL club spends more than an additional £4m on wages from the previous season, the additional wage cost can only be funded by increased commercial revenues that the club has made during that season.”

A Brief Analysis of the EPL's New Financial Reform

Financial reform in football has been a pet project of UEFA President Michel Platini for years, but the reforms were never going to mean much if the big leagues didn't buy in. Today, the English Premier League has joined the financial reform movement

The Manchester Evening News suggested a play off - they also mentioned that there were other methods such as head to head - and then even broke that down with further rules, which wouldn't apply as we had two 2-2 draws.

The thing is, while it looks possible, has there ever been a tie for ANY position in the Premier League? With all the variables it would still be really, really unlikely for it to line up on the final day, even when we're so close.

So they are suggesting a change of the competition rules during the actual competition to suit their desired outcome?

That would be unprecedented... Oh, wait, no it f*cking isn't because they've change the handball rules mid-competition more times than I care to remember... and don't get me started on that.
 
Lol!

Michael Gove has said there will be no emergency budget this summer – insisting that the issue was “no big deal” despite the mounting cost of living crisis.

No. I think they're saying the rules are different to the page on the PL site (which hasn't even been updated with our win last year). They quote the Premier League rule book.

Staggering that an enterprise valued at over $4 Billion can't keep their own website up to date.

Utterly pathetic.
 
It was only a matter of time before Pep hit back.

Whether the timing is right or not, we'll see.

I think he should have waited until the season was over and City are Champions, hopefully?

All Pep is doing now is galvonising Klopp and his team with his (true) PL Champions comment.

Manchester City are football's vampire squid - sucking up talent and leaving rivals running scared

Capturing Erling Haaland's signature is an astounding coup, but any temptation to perceive romance in the move should be resisted

If they aren't hating us we aren't winning.

It's bizarre - How much do they think Van Dijk cost over five years, with agent fees and transfer added in?

We are buying a couple of players a year and this is probably the first time we've been going for someone where there was any kind of competition - and even then, we probably beat that competition because they were buying someone most people think is better!

When Liverpool fans call out City's spending, I compliment them on knowing more than CAS and qualified accountants, then ask them to confirm that they've written to their club demanding they end their association with Standard Chartered and return the sponsorship money. Its funny watching them squirm, especially as most of them have no idea about the background on SC.

It really does look as if the club have taken the shackles off Pep, he's coming across as someone who's wanted to comment previously but had been asked to keep a lid on it until certain things had been resolved. I'm absolutely loving it, long may it continue.

Takes all the pressure off the team onto Pep. A good move for me.
