Pep's Press Conference | Reaction to CAS Verdict | Video (Pg 11) | Embargo (pg 57), Video (pg 58)

That’s spectacular stuff from Pep but I can’t help but think it shouldn’t be coming from him. Tit-for-tat name-calling and mud-slinging in press conferences is not how this should be done. We should be using yesterday’s ruling to make strong legal statements through the appropriate channels to these individuals and clubs.

There is no way he would be this ballistic without backing and support of the hierarchy, this is planned, it will reach further than a strong worded statement from the club. His naming of clubs and individuals will make them take note and care. Not sure any of them expected this from Pep...don't poke the sleeping tiger !

Today’s press conference was always going to be dominated by this topic, and he very clearly had stuff he wanted to get off his chest. I expect City to release a longer statement in response to the full award whenever CAS releases it... Pep will probably be asked a few questions about it and will likely just say he’s not a lawyer and doesn’t know, and then it’ll die down and things will be addressed behind the scenes if the club chooses to do so

What are they actually looking into ? Thought it was related to this mockery charge by uefa

They have their own version of FFP but it is less stringent. That is why the cartel went via UEFA.

They may well decide to do something, but after yesterday it’s going to take some mighty bollocks to do it.

What will happen will be on the pitch. Champions league and league/fa cup.

Just wait. Its coming. This place will light up in the next fortnight discussing bent decisions.

I actually said

I wonder how much of everyone's annoyance that we got off is because Monica did it,women involved in football and all that

There is sexism in football,there is sexism on here,it is quite possible in the legal circles where there are men who hates being beaten by a women

Make of that what you will

I’ve heard that in legal circles there’s quite a lot of men who like being beaten by a woman.

It's also reminiscent of how Pep quit Barcelona after feeling like he was having to spend half his time defending the club, himself and the board in the press every week.

This kind of stuff is what lead to his burnout and sabbatical in NY, it absolutely has to be a one off thing.

Well, maybe he’s learned from it.

His connection with the fan base at this club has risen a million steps today.

I do genuinely get the impression he will stay. It’s the same people that fought this shit in Barcelona.

I’ve now had time to reflect on all that’s been said by Pep, Flopp and Maureen.
Firstly Maureen, what he actually said was correct and it’s the press making out he slagged is off. He’s correct, the fact we received a fine is disgraceful as we did nothing wrong.
Secondly Pep. We always loved Mancini as he “got” us. However, I’ve never been more proud to be a blue as when Pep spoke. He “gets” us. The man is a legend.
Finally Flopp. A wolf in sheep’s clothing. What a bitter cûnt he really is. Clearly has no clue about FFP. Says how well it works in Germany! Bayern have won the league 8 times in a row you thick twat. Might as well be Celtic!!!!

Will people stop using the name Monica when I’m binge watching friends on Netflix, it ain’t helping me.
