I hesitate to point out that Herr Klopp (is that a xenophobic turn of phrase?) thought our acquittal by CAS was "a sad day for football". because he "believed in financial fair play"! I thought then that this was anti-City mendacity rather than that he was terminally stupid. Well, not terminally stupid. I don't think he's xenophobic now. Just bitter and, I'm afraid, typically scouse (certainly not English).

Neville backed up his claim during the commentary yesterday too - city should be calling out that wanker as well

He should be called out anyway just for being a horrible **** but he was careful in the commentary - I think the phrase he used was “a wealthy backer”

He doesn't think we are, either, he knows that we spend within our income, or within a tolerated margin of it. Like every other club that is subject to FFP without contravening it.

So why would he make an allegation against us that he knows to be untrue? And why would he single out just three clubs, all run in different ways, all owned by individuals or groups that hail from the middle east?

We don't know Klopp's personal feelings about people of Arabic origin but is well known there is a lot of bad blood between JW Henry and the people he refers privately to as "The Sheikhs." It is also known that Henry is close to Rick Parry (formerly of the UEFA investigations chamber during its witchunt against City). Parry is a man who is certainly "clear and organised" in the way he works and is not flavour of the month with the City hierarchy.
So perhaps Klopp was trying to curry favour with his boss by singling out the three clubs with Middle Eastern owners to be the subject of his childish rant. Whatever his motives it is not a good look for any senior club Leader to be seen to be so bitter and angry. I wonder what he says in private about our owner.

Have sky mentioned coins being thrown at Pep?

Now I dont agree with any chants about the dead victims of tragedies at all.

However, for these scum to perpetrate the actions that caused the death of 39 innocent people and then get "victim triggered" themselves when anyone mentions it is fcking unbelievable.

Just as bad is the medias willingness to go along with them on all this, have not one of them got the balls or integrity to publicly call it all for what it actually is.

I just cannot see myself ever buying a newspaper ever again, and I dont go on their internet sites either. If they cant show a degree of integrity in their work they dont deserve to be paid.

Xenophobia has a meaning, you can't just invent a new one to make Klopp's quotes xenophobic.

Klopp did not mention the race or background of anyone.

He is clearly prejudiced against multibillionaire owners who invest heavily in their clubs, we know that because he detailed at large what his "issue" is - the amount of money. Pretending there's a racial element to any criticism he made on Friday is completely dishonest.

These are the 10 richest owners in world football. If it wasn’t a xenophobic comment, it was incredibly misguided seeing as he only mentioned the 3 Middle Eastern owners. Why not mention Juve? Red Bull? Arsenal?

1) Nasser Al Khelafi isn't a billionaire.

2) Nasser Al Khelaifi doesn't own PSG

3) PSG are owned by the Qatar Investment authority, worth $445 Billion.

So Klopp has in fact jut named the 3 richest owners in football, regardless of their nationality.

Klopp (and FSG) knows City have complied with FFP over the last decade.

Klopp knows City can only spend what the club makes, just like Liverpool, United, etc.

Therefore Klopp is a liar.

He is continuing his and FSG's narrative that City spend more than any other club becuase they have unlimted money from an wealthy Arab country, which a Liverpool fans lap up. What Klopp says is the truth.(no it's not)

When was the last time Klopp criticised Henry, FSG, or another (red shirt) club owned by a Billionaire Yank for spending money?

And he is a racist liar, no matter what the contrarian edge lords on here say
He singled out three clubs with Arab owners and made dog whistle slanders he knew were patently untrue, solely to deflect from his own failings and to incite the usual xenophobia and Islamophobia from his fellow cultists

We should have sued the **** that day

Goofy is a **** who needs his mr bling teeth knocking down his fucking throat the scruffy unshaven psychopath

 

[eastmanc]

He’s being xenophobic against our owners because Klopp doesn’t know enough about our finances.

Enough, he knows nowt.
