In fairness to Pep, he ācompetesā anyway he wants. Obviously he played for the famously drug using Barcelona, and then failed a couple of drug tests himself. Then he managed barcelona when their entire team didnāt turn up for their doping tests and uefa brushed it under the carpetā¦ That was during the operation puerto years of course. But then he moved to Bayern and had a massive fight with them cos he wanted to bring his own doctor. The same fella who was his personal doctor when he was done for drugs. But sure who wouldnāt? Obviously thatās from his time at barca When barca outran every team in europe and nobody ever got injured. Also at a time they were paying all the refs for consultancy. So itās unfair to claim its just the financial doping heās into. And anyway, didnt he say heād quit if the man city financial doping was proven? If you cant take the word of the Qatari ambassador for football on these matters then who can you trust?
Won the league in his first year at Chelsea before things went a bit pear shaped in his 2nd season. His Champions League record was surprisingly poor during this spell.
Came back to Everton during 2019/20 and was challenging for a Champions League spot in February of his first full season. They nose dived in the final months to finish about 10th and he jumped ship for Real Madrid.
You couldnāt hate City the way you would hate Chelsea or United. They have no shit players cos they need 90 points to win a league. City couldnāt get away with carrying over rated locals like GNeville, Scholes, Lampard and John Terry. Having said all that City will be turfed out of the league before the start of next season and when that happens their standing as a āgreatā team will have a few asterisks after it.
