Agreed whether you are in the camp of keep Pep or it's time to shake hands and call it a day, we can all be aligned that as manager of our club, he should focus on his role and be mindful of opening his mouth on subjects that he should avoid i.e., anything non-football related. His presser tomorrow will be open season ahead of us playing the greatest victims ever to be so proclaimed.

I was just thinking the same but focused more on the similarities with Lineker.........they should hook up and compare notes.

Is that how you live your life. Do you research organisations and the key people who work there and what their beliefs are before you do business with them? Buy groceries, donate funds, buy clothes, apply for a job, invest?

Has any other religious community in manchester also contacted the BBC so far about Peps comments ? It seems a most unfortunate issue that pep has raised, i would expect him to have come into critisism from many communities.

I would have thought senior management at the club would be speaking to Pep about his activism, at the minimum he is bringing the club’s name into disrepute, from an HR standpoint he should be given a final written warning & told to do the job he is being handsomely rewarded. If he is not happy with that he should leave immediately.

I live by a moral code of ethics honed by my education, my upbringing and life experience. I expect a certain degree of decorum and behaviour from either my work colleagues , superiors or employees ( when i was working ) and from people/businesses i associate with in my personal life.
Of course i do research and educate myself ( or try to) on what is happening around me. It's stood me in good stead over the years . I 've had a good career, i'm happily retired and fairly comfortable. My dad used to tell me that a fool and his money are soon parted . Sounds like you are one of the fools he was talking about .
My life is good but i do find i use the word TOSSER alot more frequently these days .

Have just seen a Palestine Flag with the City crest in the middle over on X.

Fucking livid because of Pep our Club has now become linked to all this Palestine stuff.

You did what he did in corporate you would be escorted off the property minus your belongings.

now we have the Palestine/HAMAS Circus following us.

Guaranteed all we will hear in the Liverpool pre-match conference with MSM is all this Palestine stuff to try and get him to dig a hole for himself and the Club.

He fucking loves attention.

Will be on a Boat sailing to Gaza with Greta Thurnberg next.

Surely Pep is a contractor eh ? Not really an employee with a job for life , he has to keep renewing his contracts. So i guess no hr gets involved when he may get sacked, rather a case of contract payoff. Not the same as employees , no ?

My wife used to be a director of HR, i asked her the question you posed, she said - It is totally irrelevant whether you are employed directly or contractually if it’s agreed your behaviour leads to the companies image being held in disrepute. That can include bad publicity and/or other organisations within the community objecting to such behaviour.
Clearly Pep is guilty of bringing the organisation/club into disrepute via negative publicity & the local Jewish community leaders objecting to such behaviour publicly.
I hope that clarifies

Interesting how you came about that summation on purely a few posts on an internet football forum. Maybe says more about you and your moral code than anything else.

Also, after a certain amount of time working for the same company, you are entitled to things that permanent people also have like sick pay and holidays. It's why they like to enforce a break in service. Not that Peps going anywhere.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


I think Pep should take some leave of absence, possibly due to burn out/mental health issues, you only have to see his behaviour at pressers constantly scratching his head & face, disjointed explanations to questions asked, his whole demeanour does not demonstrate a professional in command of a media conference.

The absolute melt down from one or two fans on this forum when pep leaves will be epic.
