Would be fantastic for PSG especially with Messi over thereMoney no object there's not a better manager working in the game today. However Pep's brand of football is totally unique and requires the very best in order for it to work well.
I doubt he'd have been able to take Liverpool to the league title like Klopp did. I don't think he'd have managed to take Aberdeen past the old firm like Fergie did either. That being said I'd love him to be our manager as we do spend similar amounts to City, albeit through money we actually generate.
I've seen Pep say this a few times now - who've they sold to make £60m?Poor pep working on a limited budget.
Looks like it's 42 million but I am wondering if he is counting those that left the club for free since they are no longer responsible for their wages.I've seen Pep say this a few times now - who've they sold to make £60m?
Angelino, Harrison, Nmecha and Ilic. They make a lot of money by shifting deadwood, sadly ... plus they've made money off the Sancho deal too.I've seen Pep say this a few times now - who've they sold to make £60m?

Bet even pep wouldn't know all the player's name but they sold someone. Who cares! The point is they bought Grealish for £100m.I've seen Pep say this a few times now - who've they sold to make £60m?
They make a bit of money back on the millions invested in young players who never get to play for the club.Angelino, Harrison, Nmecha and Ilic. They make a lot of money by shifting deadwood, sadly ... plus they've made money off the Sancho deal too.

We can’t even sell Andreas, delot and Lingard for feck all half the time. How do they pull these deals off.They make a bit of money back on the millions invested in young players who never get to play for the club.
Brown envelopes? Kick backs?We can’t even sell Andreas, delot and Lingard for feck all half the time. How do they pull these deals off.
Because it's a part of their business model, not an afterthought like it is for us. It's a slightly different version of what Chelsea also do very well (albeit with the addition of long strings of loans for many of their own youngsters).We can’t even sell Andreas, delot and Lingard for feck all half the time.

Because he knows that the criticism of him, that he takes the easiest possible jobs and he's had more advantages as a manager than probably any other in history, is valid. The same way that the criticism of City, that they're state funded by human rights abusing despots and clearly fraudulent, is also valid.Tweet

Someone explain this dumb the difference. I don't understand why is so fussed about proving everyone how good his club is.
Don’t know if this days he is better than Tuchel or Klopp tbh…Would be fantastic for PSG especially with Messi over there
Yet he will wear his ribbon for other causes. Should wear a ribbon for his owners humans rights abuses.Because he knows that the criticism of him, that he takes the easiest possible jobs and he's had more advantages as a manager than probably any other in history, is valid.

It's like how the most cutting and hurtful insults you can receive are the ones with truth to them.

I had long suspected it was him spreading that myth online.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58216727
Full quotes on what he said are here. Invariably mentions United’s spending over the years. He needs to check his facts because we rarely were the biggest spenders in Fergie‘s era. There is literally no way he can defend City’s spending especially if they get Kane. The fact his last resort is ‘prove we are breaking FFP’ when we all know the rules aren’t working, and also relaxed because of COVID is a sign of a man in denial. More reporters need to push him on this as well as the disgusting human right actions of their owners. Too many people just happy to take the gravy train of money from these parasites .
United instead collecting dead wood and extend the contracts of unsellable players that will never playAngelino, Harrison, Nmecha and Ilic. They make a lot of money by shifting deadwood, sadly ... plus they've made money off the Sancho deal too.

At United Angelino, Harrison, Nmecha and Ilic would get a contract extension + a loan with the wage paid entirely by United (like tuanzebe)United instead collecting dead wood and extend the contracts of unsellable players that will never play
Probably some random academy player they’ve ‘sold’ to the crowned prince for £60m. They must be licking their chops at the new FFP luxury tax idea.I've seen Pep say this a few times now - who've they sold to make £60m?

They spend bucketloads acquiring young players from all around the globe without ever having the intention of playing them in the first team, farm them out on loan for a few years, and sell them on for “profit” with additional buyback and sell on clauses. It fluffs their numbers and makes them look a bit more self sufficient than they really are.I've seen Pep say this a few times now - who've they sold to make £60m?

You do realize that the reason we give such contracts is because we can't afford to lose good young players like they lost Sancho for example? And they can afford that only because they've unlimited money to spend?At United Angelino, Harrison, Nmecha and Ilic would get a contract extension + a loan with the wage paid entirely by United (like tuanzebe)
Exactly. They splurge money at all levels. Non oil clubs can't do that.They spend bucketloads acquiring young players from all around the globe without ever having the intention of playing them in the first team, farm them out on loan for a few years, and sell them on for “profit” with additional buyback abr well in clauses.

Transfer Market show their current summer sales as £35m. So both Pep and Ducker are talking nonsense.Probably some random academy player they’ve ‘sold’ to the crowned prince for £60m. They must be licking their chops at the new FFP luxury tax idea.
Yep Chelsea have been at it for yearsExactly. They splurge money at all levels. Non oil clubs can't do that.
They received 10 million from the Sancho transfer as well. Maybe they are including loan fees??Transfer Market show their current summer sales as £35m. So both Pep and Ducker are talking nonsense.
Seems odd they get any money for that. Didn’t he leave because his contract ended but Dortmund had to pay compensation because of the rules around training youth players? How have they managed to get a clause on sell on fees in that?They received 10 million from the Sancho transfer as well. Maybe they are including loan fees??
EDIT: Just checked and transfermarket does not include the transfer Ducker mentioned. So if that transfer goes through, that is 10 million more
Think it's a developmental fee that all clubs get when a player they developed moves. I think it's age capped.Seems odd they get any money for that. Didn’t he leave because his contract ended but Dortmund had to pay compensation because of the rules around training youth players? How have they managed to get a clause on sell on fees in that?
Dortmund paid a fee for him instead of having the compensation deemed by a court, it's just less trouble that way for the clubs ... and City had a sell-on fee in there.Seems odd they get any money for that. Didn’t he leave because his contract ended but Dortmund had to pay compensation because of the rules around training youth players? How have they managed to get a clause on sell on fees in that?

No, Sancho had a year left on his contract.Seems odd they get any money for that. Didn’t he leave because his contract ended but Dortmund had to pay compensation because of the rules around training youth players? How have they managed to get a clause on sell on fees in that?
Ilic and Sancho put it over 50M and I think City also received few millions from Frimpong's transfer to Leverkusen few months back. Herrera, Porro and Braaf will ideally generate another 30-35M.Transfer Market show their current summer sales as £35m. So both Pep and Ducker are talking nonsense.
