Spot on, Pep has cranked up an argument that was effectively dead. No one takes the ramblings of Seluk (and by proxy Yaya) seriously but maybe Pep does. There's history between the two and Pep strikes me as a proud man with an unforgiving nature, but even if Pep is being calculated in all this, even if he knows it's a win win where Yaya collects his dosh to do bugger all and Pep can happily ignore him, something changed today.
City, a club that has been the butt of jokes for decades. City, ridiculed and then despised as a no class, no history club that won the lottery. City, a club that now sits at the top table but under sufferance while the other "top" clubs hold their nose. City, forever in Utd's shadow. City, with its Emptyhad. City, a club that at best gets grudging praise when it plays well but is roundly ridiculed when it stumbles.
Well, this is Pep's City now, that old City no longer exists.
