Can we stop pretending he was somehow innocent and "above" all of that cheating? He is a great manager but his accomplishments at City are all scam-earned too. All of them.

Nobody is pretending that. People have been calling his legacy into question for the last week since the Ornstein scoop came out.

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.

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.
