Yaya Toure apologises

[TFC]

After batting my eyelashes at Pep and us going out on a few very successful dates, I was just starting to get those butterflies in my stomach whenever I thought of him. After this press conference, its love. Full on, I will boil your fucking rabbit, love.

DSIAC.

Not before time. Consequences at long last. He's been walking all over us since 2014 or more. Buggered up what would have been legendary status into the bargain. He and his agent think they're bigger than the club. Well done Pep.

Fuck off back to your infant school XI, Yaya.

Genius this by Pep, The fat twat Seluk will never apologise and Yaya either bins him or its the end of any career he has left. Its like chess but a lot better.

Such a shame this tbh. I agree with Pep but surely this could have been sorted in house and not developed into a public slanging match giving Sky and the media licence to do their silly polls and stupid interviews. I also blame the previous management to allow a culture of players calling the shots and thus making them seemingly untouchable

You are correct this has been festering for ages and the club (maybe rightly) backing the players against Mancini and then appointing a weak coach like Pellers really fuelled player (and agent) power but Pep is having none of it - Hart and Nasri are out, Toure is as good as out and reading between the lines Kompany will next if he isn't a team player. Pep is right to tackle this head on - he's made some tough calls but in a few weeks he's made himself untouchable at the club and he his regime will be a calm one -everyone knows the rules and the consequences of stepping out of line - there's only one man in charge at Manchester City and player egos are a thing of the past.

Pep's a badass!

I miss how he ran the show at Barcelona. I look forward to the prodigal son's eventual return

I reckon Pep has said that because he is smart enough to not make it about him. You make it about the club, then it's bigger. You make it about yourself, then yuou run the risk of looking petty and thin skinned. I'm not surprised he requested an apology to the club. I'd have done the same. That gets the club, the fans, and the media on your side. As for Sleuk's ramblings, in fairness he said 'big personality.' This doesn't mean great players. Some great players don't have big personalities. Silva for example doesn't. Superb player but he doesn't have that edge. Kompany does. Balotelli with his max potential and minimum perfromance, did. Joe did. Lescott didn't. It has little to do with talent, talent helps it come out more, but some players have that and others don't have it at such levels sometimes.

But I doubt players are busy taking offense to an agent saying Pep doesn't like working with big personalities. And then inferring from that that the agent is suggesting they don't have big personalities.

Sorry, Silva doesn't have a big personality?
I think you mean he's not an ego maniac.

Seluk is suggesting Pep only works with yes men & kids.
This is an insult to our players.

We have a squad full of big personalities. Pep is managing them just fine.

The apology is for the club, the players, the fans and Guardiola.

This conduct, Seluk's conduct, YaYa's conduct has not endeared him to the manager, so why you think the players would feel differently, I've no idea. Especially with zero evidence.

If Seluk & YaYa have pissed off the boss they all seem to adore, I'm sure any relationship players had with YaYa are souring quickly.

Thank you Yaya for what you did for us up until cakegate.
Now you and your agent get to fuck out of our club.
The pair. Of you are stealing a living now.

Sky Soccer Special pundits and presenter just raised the Seluk response, Alan McInally just dissed the agent with a whole tyraid of perfect sarcasm. I hope other media pick up on it, it was classic.

 

[Chippy_boy]

To be honest we are playing such sublime dynamic football I can only imagine Toure would make us worse if he came lumbering on.

In that context, Yaya effectively being sacked is a bit of a non-story.

I mean, who would you have Yaya displace in our team right now?

Cheers nev,but why should he apologise to pellegrini,unless the slimeball of an agent is referring to being confirmed taking over while he was still in the job...

And Pellers should apologise to Bobby and Bobby should apologise to the Clueless One and the Clueless one should apologise to Stuart Peirce and on and on. What a pair of tin-eared clowns Yaya and his agent are. Comedy duo.
