At a time when City are in the dock for ruling breaking and football have us pegged as privileged big spenders, he needs to keep shtum.
Disagree. Seems that there has been a long overdue change of mind-set from the club. Recent interviews calling out decisions. We all know that the red cartel and their media lackeys will continue to push their agendas against us so, for me, it's irrelevant what we say or do. The media already spin everything against us so fuck them, we cannot be hated even more, it's simply not possible as far as I see it. I'm behind Pep on this.
He is correct, it doesn't make sense. You change the rules to allow players to play for two clubs in the competition. However you schedule the semi final first leg during a transfer window and then say the player you bought in the window is ineligible. Makes zero sense! I understand if he was not registered in time to play, that's a different argument, but this is nonsensical.
The final is a different round of the competition. But they won't change the rules, they will double down and make sure Guehi cannot play, then they will relax the rule next season.
