In an otherwise excellent article he lets himself down by referring to "the rise of state-owned rivals" in the first sentence.

He also incorrectly says that Liverpool have won 4 domestic cups on FSG's watch when it's 3.

Surely not counting their Charity Shield ? lol

Pep is currently doing a prezzer and some **** tried to ask about finances and the Dippers. Pep just said I’m not talking about that but the fucker persisted in going down that route with no success and a really pissed off Pep. Compare that to the convivial attitude of reporters towards Eddie Howe.

Decided to peak at the press conference Pep is doing at the moment and some **** kept asking him about money, backing, etc. Pep had told him it’s not his forte answering and the **** still kept going after Pep about money available.

I stay away from watching any presser as they are fucking useless. Can’t imagine how Pep feels.

On this state owned thing they won't drop, I think I am correct in saying that some clubs, maybe Everton, Fulham, Sheffield United would need to check exacrly are owned by relatives of Sheik Mansour. So following their logic quite a few clubs would be state owned rather than individuals buying different clubs .Why would a state want more than 1 club ?
On the can't compete theme they always omit to add the next sentence which is because the owners take money out preferring to go down the bottomless pit line.
And the world class players they can't compete with have almost all been labelled bad buys when city signed them.

Very desperate stuff

I just stopped watching after that. There was a reason I stopped watching them seasons ago. Shit like that must be infuriating to say the least.

It's not slimey looking for an angle on the presser is it?

Pep has absolutely broken the league. Comments and talks like this are actually complements in a way.

If you can't beat the best, fuck off to the Championship and win that instead.

My thoughts too.

I just don't why he does all of them. I know the club is contractually obliged but you could easily send out someone else to do them on a fairly regular occasion without to much grief. Or just give one syllable answers to silly questions and move on to the next question immediately. The club need to take some responsibility also, for allowing it and not protecting him. Clearly set out the rules of engagement to the journalists before the press conference and have a zero tolerance with repeat offenders and fuck them off for 3 or 4 games before they are allowed back in. They would soon get the message.
