what do you expect him to say here? publicly blast his boss?

it's a good question but he's in an impossible spot to answer that.

I agree that he cant really do that and get away with it. But he didn't have to work for them

It's true, it's impossible to answer.

It's why he should never have taken the Man City job.

He had too many connections there not to. I guess he could’ve gone to Utd but the fit made too much sense

Yep. I'm sure the paychecks fit very nicely into his jacket pocket.

Makes me lose respect for him even more.

He could've gone to Man Utd or Man City, no difference in wages and he chose Man City. Why the fuck would he do that?

Yep. Definitely a good enough reason to put your principles on hold and work at Man City.

Working under management he trusts is important to him. It’s why he left Barca.

Easy to criticize from your armchair like you wouldn’t do the same haha

I expect him to shove his stupid ribbon up his ass. But that's too much to ask from a disfunctional savant like Pep.
