How would Pep Guardiola’s legacy be impacted if Man City are found guilty of the 115 charges? (alien.top)

Surely it would place a massive asterisk on all the trophies won during his time at Man City? In future discussions on the greatest manager would this be a talking point which stains our perception on him? Or will he still be lauded as the greatest by some despite the wider context?

It would make all his achievements at city null and void. If you can't win within the rules, you are effectively a cheat.

Come on now, how’s Pep got anything to do with the financials. He’s got no clue if they’ve been breaking FFP rules.

He’s got no clue

hahaha, mate, literally fans have been pointing out irregularities for years now. If Pep couldn't see them he's fucking blind.

Pep had the bank account in Andorra to hide income as alleged by the Spanish tax authorities. The SkySports article re the Man City FFP violations says:

“Allegedly, they did not fully disclose the financial remunerations that were made to one of their managers over a four-year period. The suggestion is that there was a secret contract so one of the managers was getting paid much more than officially stated.”

Who do you suppose that one manager was? One of the assistants probably wouldn’t be getting paid enough to matter. https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11679/12804623/man-city-premier-league-charges-explained-what-are-they-what-could-punishment-be-whats-the-timescale

Like Liverpool hacking Man City’s scouting data illegally and then going on to win success.

Glad we can call everyone out for cheating, cheating is cheating and if you can’t play by the rules then your success means nothing.

Yep, nothing :)

Did that actually happen?

[–] depressingmirror2@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Well the Liverpool league win already means nothing because of Covid. I often forget it even happened.

You just mentioned it you dinny.

[–] Chrisnolliedelves@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The league win that we had wrapped up by Christmas doesn't count because a literal deadly force of nature tried (and failed) to stop us?

Can I get the number for your copium dealer? Cause it looks like good shit.

[–] depressingmirror2@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I dunno mate. The amount of downvotes kind of suggests that you lot know what I mean.

[–] PopsicleMonster@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

And yet you are the only one talking about it in this thread.

[–] Pablo21694@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You mean the season we had amassed enough points, pre-Covid, to win the league? Literally 25 point ahead in February but ours gets called the Covid title. City in 20-21 played in empty stadiums for about 30 games and it barely gets questioned 😂

I’ve clearly struck a nerve.
