Another big challenge for Pep after he made huge underdogs Manchester City one of the biggest teams in the world. Juventus are lucky that they're got someone with a track record of improving mid table fodder to league winners.

would be funny if he only ever won european cups with either messi or Ronaldo and none without either

Blue Moon is truly in meltdown. First the UEFA investigation, then the FA/PL investigation and now Pep maybe joining Juve. What a sight

The good thing about Pip is that he only manages small teams with no money and builds sides gradually with a combination of clever scouting and smart signings, Juve truly are the underdogs of Italian football and its about time they had some success so hopefully he goes there

Maybe he just doesn't like the corruption Man City are involved in. A fresh start at Juventus is what he needs.

Guardiola is slowly morphing into Mourinho. He's becoming unbearable. An absolute c*nt who should not be in the conversation when it comes to the best managers in the game. He's achieved nothing. Managed arguably the best squad football has ever seen at Barcelona, won domestically at Bayern with little to no competition, and has a bottomless pit of cash at Man City.

Still stick by this. Absolute filth of an excuse for a human being.

I think they'll get the following punishment:-

For the league cups in 2013–14, 2015–16, 2017–18, 2018–19, they will be removed as winners and the cup will go to the eventual runners up.

For the Premier Leagues in 2013–14, 2017–18, they will be removed as winners and the cup will go to the eventual runners up.

For the FA Cup in 2010–11 and the Premier League in 2011–12, they should remain as the winners with the same runners up, as it was before the alleged financial irregularities.

Plus a five year ban from European competition.

They won't get punished harshly if at all, all the evidence of their corruption is long gone. And if there is any lingering stench, nothing a few hefty brown envelopes can't solve.

I said earlier in the season that next season will definitely be Pep’s last there. He doesn’t stick around too long.

I also reckon City will definitely get a transfer ban after Chelsea did. The problem is that they will appeal it, which will buy them enough time to have another transfer window where they will stockpile players.

The UEFA investigation however will yield fuck all.

Luigi Guelpa, Il Giornale journalist:

"It is the news of the year: Pep Guardiola has already given his word to Juventus for the next 4 years. Allegri will leave, the Spaniard will be the new coach." [Radio CRC]

That will make them happy over at Blue Moon..

From when?

This summer? Surely not?

Take with a pinch of salt for now.

Dave D · « **Reply #24737 on:** March 8, 2019, 08:58:08 pm »

Guardiola is off to Italy? I'd say he must really miss those multivitamins that he used to chomp down on back in the day. Returning to the healthy, clean living lifestyle in Italy for him, and what a club to do it in.

After Juve, it's got to be PSG next surely.

Anyone with any fucking sense has known for years that the level of commercial revenue and attendances has been fabricated. Disgrace it's taken this long but I won't hold my breath on any meaningful sanctions being imposed.

Wondering if a poll was taken would you take winning the PL due to City been deducted points

What percentage would be yes v No

Personally No

TepidT2O · « **Reply #24741 on:** March 8, 2019, 09:24:53 pm »

This story is probably nonsense....

But...

It is a local journalist with a record, and this is exactly the same thing that happened when he left Bayern.... so it wouldn’t be entirely surprising...

However, I can’t see city remaking him for his contract.

They’re not going to get deducted points

But yes, I think I’d like to finish 9 points behind them and then win it by a point after they had ten deducted. Just for the fewm.

I'd genuinely take them waltzing the CL with a 6-0 win in the final over Barcelona if it meant Pep fucked off to Juventus.

I would hate to win the league from a points deduction like this or to lose it to cheats

This seems to be a great chance though to make an example of people doing it wrong and not just sweep it under the carpet with a half arsed fine they can easily afford

doping absolutely kills sport, and these twats have ruined the competitiveness of our league.

Any future action is meaningless, city won’t be bothered- it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.

I think with what seems like most of the other Premier League Clubs turning gangster towards them, they are going to have problems. You've got the top clubs like Liverpool, United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs who are struggling to keep pace despite huge investments themselves and you've got the lesser clubs who have worked hard to gain and keep Premier league status yet have to put up with being constantly embarrassed by this lot with ridiculous abnormal scorelines, must be completely demoralising. Its all through cheating, and the arrogance they've shown is also ridiculous - they've been taking the piss out of too many people.

I'd take it. They are cheats who fiddle everything, while the rest of us (bar Chelsea) do it on money we earn and in a few years everyone forgets anyway how it was awarded anyway. Most people forget or are even unaware about Inter being awarded the 07 Serie A title due to the point stripping of Juve and AC (I had to google it to get the year and clubs)

So Pep is swapping from a team who should be docked league titles to one that was docked two league titles not so long ago. #ethics

reddebs · « **Reply #24756 on:** March 8, 2019, 10:43:14 pm »

I think it's how cocky they came across in those leaked emails that got everyones backs up.

They might be corrupt but one thing organisations like FIFA and UEFA dont like it's being made fools of and city have done that whilst laughing at them.

No idea what, if any, punishment they'll get but it's funny seeing their arrogant fans getting in a tizzy about it at blue moon headquarters.

The cherry on top being the Pep to Juve rumours that have emerged tonight.

I couldn't give a fuck how we win it as long as we do, the only thing that will hit City will be a points deduction and a competition ban. They have so much money that even £1bn fine would be pocket change to their owner.

Deducted them 60 points and see if the c*nts can avoid rekegation. Fuck em
