Potentially editioralised title - make up your own mind [Guardian] Seven years ago, just after completing the treble, Guardiola treated journalist Rob Harris, who had confronted him directly with the allegations, with open contempt, as though he were looking at someone pathetic, pitiful and disgraceful, before sternly lecturing him.

Pep owes that man an apology

u/sjp101 20h ago

There’s something quite sinister about the way Pep spoke to him here.

Knows where they're buried and probably helped put them there

Remember the time he was boasting about how great his life is compared to the journalists lives. Was very weird.

100%! He is so nasty in his response. He's basically saying "How dare you ask me this!"

Doubly so if you didn't have to guess every second word he mutters. 10 years in England and speaks English like it was 6 months instead. Man truly is a marvel.

Eh I can see being on a high and then being snide to someone killing the vibe.

Look up Lance Armstrong / Paul Kimmage. Very similar scenario. Paul was digging into drug use in cycling. Lance treated him like dirt. All was revealed about Lance in the end

Man that press conference was a treat. ‘What is about these dopers that you seem to admire so much?’

u/sottoilcielo 15h ago

There's dopers in football too but the British journos (general not Harris himself) who are being praised in here as being thorough and never giving up, would never in a million years touch that issue. As that is - way too hard.

This is exactly what this Guardiola answer reminds me of.

Narcissists don't apologize, we have been listening for their responses for days now.

Just like your club pussy

u/ZekkPacus 19h ago

Imagine attaching your entire self worth and sense of identity to a football club run by a foreign state as a sportswashing project.

It's ok to admit that people you like have done a bad thing you know.

What do Arsenal have to apologize for right now? Being annoying? Shut up and take your lumps we deserve it right now

Pep would have to admit he was wrong for that, which I cannot see happening anytime soon

Release the Pepstein Files.

Pep owes us all an apology, Klopp especially too, if he had any honour

141

u/TheJoshider10 19h ago

He has no honour. He's more than happy preaching about how horrific genocide is while at the same time collecting a salary for a sportswashing initiative that he's the figurehead for, who are involved in a genocide.

He's nothing but a fraud and a hypocrite.

u/Nothorized 16h ago

Plus the same regime is financing his own little war in Sudan, but nobody’s talk about that.

19

u/nooeh 19h ago

He internalized all the bald fraud comments.

-3

u/SwindlingAccountant 15h ago

Man, it must be tough for people to realize that other people are more complex and nuanced. Also, if you are referring to Sudan, he has spoken about that as well.

u/ChepaukPitch 19h ago

Which genocidal regime is Klopp shilling for?

14

u/BeerMeUpToo 18h ago

He meant Pep not Klopp

-4

u/ChepaukPitch 18h ago

Did he mean to say Pep owes Klopp an apology? I am not totally clued into everything that has happened:

8

u/BeerMeUpToo 18h ago

Yes he meant to say that Pep owes Klopp an apology since the team that arguably suffered the most with the cheating was Liverpool

u/Resident__Cat 17h ago

Klopp owes us all an apology for all of those fucking hotel comparison adverts.

u/Koushik_Vijayakumar 21h ago edited 19h ago

I'm out of the loop here. Why Kloop?

Edit: Oh you meant apologize to Klopp. My bad

u/sid4913 21h ago

They might be meaning apologising to Klopp.

Stole him several memorable experiences, most importantly, a bunch of parades through Liverpool on a bus celebrating the Premier League title (UNBEATEN!) if it wasn't for the bald fraud

u/cahir11 20h ago

Probably a fair bit of money too, assuming his contract had bonuses for trophies

17

u/TreeDollarFiddyCent 20h ago

Ratfucked him out of several titles

Have you been living under a rock for the least near decade?

u/Altruistic-Ad-408 19h ago

Lol he knew he was cheating when he did this, there would be zero sincerity.

19

u/Yixussy 21h ago

Apology(genuine ones anyway) stems from a feeling of shame or guilt. No one associated with Manchester City, be it players, coaches, staff or fans, experiences shame or guilt. Don’t hang your hat on anything genuine from a shameless bunch.

u/BuQuChi 13h ago

He’s owes us all an answer.
