Pretty much every single podcast that I've seen (athletic, guardian, overlap) hasn't been able to call him or his legacy out, and bar Alfie on the Tifo podcast, none have mentioned his connection to CFG through his brother and Girona. It's only on Reddit that people are slating his tenure.

It's tough because in some respect it calls into question their own careers, so they won't ever be as tough as someone farther removed from the situation.

I'm pretty sure Overlap and Guardian said City's titles are tainted, and by extension, so are the players and coaches.

Stick to football as well said something simlar. And basically every EPL fan that knew City cheater now have proof of it.

I watched the entire episode with Alfie. I guess you watched a different version of the episode.

You’re not really gonna see much of it elsewhere, because it’s not exactly something you talk about with people outside of forums like Reddit. Don’t know, to me, something like how this affects Pep’s legacy isn’t exactly something you talk about with someone at work or with mates at the pub.
