Why hasn't Pep got a knighthood?

[MadchesterCity]

He’s going straight to the top

King Pep Josep Guardiola the First

 

[maccieblue]

Because he's not nearly shit himself on an motorway hard shoulder. Talk about a silly question.

Don't you mean tell porkies to the police to get you off a driving charge ?

 

[Corky]

He isn't eligible.

Give it to boring Beckham as he’s so fucking desperate

Actually, the reason i posted this was that I had to endure some of the beckham documentary tonight with my family.

Whilst I took a sinister pleasure in moaning and insulting anyone related to the rags in it, what I did notice were two things;

1. The accolade bacon face got for winning the treble, resulting in a knighthood.

2. The absolute polar opposite media reaction to both the possibility and ultimate reality of them completing the treble by winning the CL compared to ours.

On the latter point, there were scenes in the programme where they showed bbc coverage on the day of the final.

The sentiment was very much that of 'this team is representing our country and are hopefully going to win the trophy for the country'. It was absolute 6 o'clock news headlining content, not sports section coverage. It was almost like war time coverage of the troops going to battle.

Fast forward 24 years or so, to our even more impressive achievement, and coverage couldn't have been any more different, amidst a backdrop of 'financial cheating claims' the sentiment and coverage was, at best tolerant, at worse, down right vindictive and hateful.

Really reminded me just how bitter and twisted football in this nation is and always will be.

But the rags and most neutrals will just point to our 'paranoia' for pointing this out

Sir Pep Josep Guardiola.

Sounds perfect

He's that to us anyway.

Doesn't need an official title.

 

[urban genie]

Rather he wasn't offered one.

the honours system is a bag of shite

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Alas although he can be knighted as a foreigner, he wouldn’t be able to use the title sir. Sort of shits on that one a bit :-(

He wouldn’t be able to use it, but anyone else could. Free speech. I’ll call you what I like.

If the Sheik wants him to get it, then he will!

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

Sir Pep of Guardiola, take a bow you absolute genious! I would take a bullet for you!




















Motherfucker better stay for another 10yrs though

 

[burning blue soul]

He won't be noticed in the awards arena until these charges have been expunged.
It's that simple.
Also, he's only been with us 7 years, it's just too short time period.
Anyway. The bullshit awards thingy is to promote the ruling class not the recipient, their achievements just get used to prop up the dicks in power. I prefer him not to have one.

 

[Bluekiwi]

The last manager to win the treble received one straight after. Non-UK citizens are eligible. So what's the difference? Hmm

Team's colour a possibility?

 

[KS55]

If the Sheik wants him to get it, then he will!

The sheik is a knight of this realm. Got it for services to piss boiling.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Knighthoods mean fuck all these days.

 

[malg]

Why should he get one? Where's Bob Paisley's, where's Brian Clough's? Where's mine....?

 

[Bluesince1979]

It needs a desperate party leader to chuck one in his direction in the hope of securing the votes of the Club that he manages in return.

City are toxic. Cheats. Oil money whores. It wouldnt be a vote grabber

 

[Gray]

Knighthoods mean fuck all these days.

When you see some of the twats who have received them it completely devalues the award.

 

[1961_vintage]

Knighthoods mean fuck all these days.

This is why he won't get one or want one
