One thing I do like about peps teams are they play football the right way. FSG need to take note, City needed centrehalves and they went out and spent big on a couple at Harrods. Not a couple of cut price kids at Lidl like we did.
They now look light up front with Agrero going so I exspect either Halaand or Kane to sign for them in the summer.
Erm City are wrecking every domestic competition and were supposed to be banned from this seasons and next seasons champions League for fiddling FFP
They are a far bigger threat to English football becoming a one team league than the big six getting their fair share of the TV money The premier League need to put a stringent no loopholes FFP in place before they destroy the Premier League product

You can play anyway you like successfully if you throw 1.5bn at signing the very best players suited to how you want to play off the peg and pay them the highest wages, there's no real skill in that
Given Klopp's resources and another manager having his Guardiola wouldn't get anywhere near winning anything

Don’t think anyone would argue too much with that 19 - Ian simply saying that he likes their football and that we need to start shopping at Harrods instead of Lidl IF we want to compete.
We went to Harrods after selling Coutinho and look what happened next. City have since been on a couple of trips while we seem to be rummaging around in car boot sales.
But he's consistently doing it. Probably not the best season to compare things. But we made his team look ordinary last season he then went out and sorted it by adding top quality to an already brilliant squad. And keeping them all happy. He beat PSG last night without needing Sterling , Aguero and Jesus and I've probably missed a couple of others !!
No point worrying about the other top teams we need to add at least 3 top quality players to our squad and not getting rid of anyone. We need a huge squad if we want to compete season in season out.
That is it though Ian imo City will compete pretty much every season whilst we wont we might challenge 1/5 years that is the reality.
This is nothing new how do you think fans in France/Germany feel they are 99% of the time playing for 2nd place.
Pep is a good manager there is no question of that but its easier when your owner says "Here is £100m go get two CBs"
We like the vast majority of teams cannot do that.
We need to shop smart like we have done last 4 years but you take more risks that way.
Im going to laugh if they clean up the next 3 years as I then think the pundits will start moaning.
If they lose Pep they lose 8-10 points I reckon but why would he leave ?
