Pep seemed very confident with his bullish CL qualification rhetoric after each game but he was quite stand-offish in yesterday’s presser, some would say somewhat angry with his statement of giving his full opinion after the official date. Then, tonight, I’ve not heard any mention from him of the CL?
He’s either very good at hiding what he knows or, as we know, it is hard for him to hide it as he wears his heart on his sleeve.
There may be some form of leak but it won’t be exact as UEFA have basically been chastised by CAS after our initial appeal and we won’t want to leak because we were the ones to complain about it. And, if UEFAs decision is upheld, why would they want to look bad when they’ve got the outcome they want.
Pep has kept mentioning about being told by the guys above him that everything is okay. He’s mentioned it an unusual amount of times. I think if the ban is upheld, or even dropped to a year ban he’ll most likely be off and may use the fact he was told we’d be good as an excuse.
