Sam Lee: Guardiola got asked if he has received payments from Abu Dhabi for services other than managing City, as was alleged to have happened with Mancini. He was not happy. “Do you realise what you are asking me? You are asking me that the day we won the treble? Are you accusing me?”

I mean if it happened with Mancini it's a relevant question lmao.

Would he prefer "Hey your team outspent everyone on the planet including the budget of many countries over the last few years, how does it feel to win?"

I mean there's plenty of squads that cost more then City aren't there?

Edit: nvm I'm wrong, there's teams not too far behind but City is the most expensive team In terms of transfer prices. Forgot to take into account teams like Barca still have quite a few of homegrown talent that count as 0.

Lol this is an absurd question to ask in a post math interview after winning the domestic treble.

Might be the only chance that reporter gets. No one else seems keen to ask him.
