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

I know he's a fucking moron, but has he heard there's a world cup on?

We can only be 1 point ahead maximum by Christmas.

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe is no longer the world's most valuable football player, losing his top spot to Man City star Erling Haaland.

YOUR COMPLAINT:

Racism 

In your article 'Whats going on at Anfield' there is some rather lazy casual racism:

"It has become increasingly difficult for clubs to compete financially with sides that have backers from wealthy states, such as Paris St-Germain (Qatar), Manchester City (Abu Dhabi) and Newcastle (Saudi Arabia)."

Liverpool for one as well as Manchester Utd also have backers from a wealthy state (USA). The three clubs stated above appear to be distinct in that they have brown, Muslim owners from the Middle East. This sort of casual racism is unacceptable, unnecessary, and demeans the BBC while also fueling racism within wider society by encouraging it's acceptance.

Good luck but I would be very surprised if you get anything more than the bog standard cut n paste reply

You never know. The beeb will be that shit scared of even a fruitcake like me accusing them of racism they might quietly change it - it's already been toned down once. If we just accuse them of rag/dipper bias I'm sure they'd love it (cunts)

Loans, even from owners, are not subject to ffp as they are debts.
City received multiple loans from Mansour, subsequently converted into new shares. False allegations of clandestine funding would have been raised by Liverpool as a separate matter since they were desperate to get Champs league place.
Liverpool could do the same as City now, issuing new shares rather than FSG selling existing shares. Those proceeds would be available to spend.

Trying to follow all this is like reading a John Le Carre novel with 8 pints of Joey Holts in the blood stream :-)

Business Booms At 'Boring’ Manchester City

No longer was Manchester City seeking to emulate the status of other clubs, it was the ones the competitors were seeking to acquire expertise from.

The problem with this logic is that in almost any club that would have given him regular time, their development system would never have gotten him to this point in the first place.

Players don't just wake up talented, they need coaching, and we have the best infrastructure in the country.
