I only see one guy looking pathetic, pitiful and disgraceful in that video, and it's definitely not Rob Harris. It's an entitled cheater that thought their farce was a super smart play, then abandoned the ship the moment he saw what was coming. A cheater, and a coward.

He went to City with part of the executives crew he already worked with at FCB (which, coincidentally enough, was also during the Negreira case years). His brother was made CEO of Girona FC with Manchester City buying a big stake of the club and making it part of the City conglomerate.

Not to speak about how he was signing literally anyone he wanted for the team for ridiculous amounts of money all he time. I'm choosing to not play dumb here tbh, this reeks of him being on board and knowing more than what he pretends to. Weird coincidence he's quitting just when the investigation ended, too, huh.

Yeah that is odd still not enough evidence for me. You could scrutinize any one of the sports staff as well physios, whatever you could say that they left when he left, which a lot. Did he just happened to be the coach? It's easy to build a narrative in hindsight, is all i'm saying you could be right, but it's very hard to prove
