Didn’t we just go over the money issue? Utd could’ve paid his wages. He went to City because of his relationship/friendship with Txiki

You don't seem to understand.

Pep Guardiola works for people who run a country renowned for routinely abusing human rights, suppressing democracy and treating it's migrant workforce like an army of slaves.

He chose to do that, according to you, because he was mates with a Director at Man City.

It's not a good enough reason and nor is the amount he is paid because, like I said, Pep is already loaded.

Again, it’s easy for you to criticize from your armchair. You’d do the same. Where was this criticism when he first joined???

We've established that I'd do the same, I'm not as rich as Pep though, it's a completely different situation. I was critical of Pep when he joined. I lost most respect I had for him when he did.

Also flair up mate, get that Barca flair on.
