@alanshearer Huge fan of yours, Alan, both as the greatest ever PL scorer & as a media pundit. So was bitterly disappointed to hear you referencing an asterisk against Pep’s achievements if City are found guilty of the largely historic charges. Just feels petty & v disrespectful.
Pep - what can I say? Where do I start? ✍️🩵
It’s difficult to truly describe the impact Pep has had - not only on Manchester City as a football club, but on everything around it as well. The trophies and achievements speak for themselves. But what made him special was always much bigger than winning.
For me personally, he was never just a manager. He was a mentor, a leader and also a friend.
From the very first day we worked together, he challenged me to see football differently. Every detail mattered. Every meter on the pitch had a purpose. There were moments when his intensity pushed all of us to our limits mentally and physically - but looking back, that obsession with perfection is exactly what made his teams so extraordinary.
What many people don’t see from the outside is the human side of Pep. Beyond football, he is incredibly humble, thoughtful and someone who genuinely cares about the people around him.
Over the years, I was lucky enough to experience that side of him very closely. He made me a better player, but also a better person.
When I look back on my career one day, my time working with Pep will always be one of the defining chapters of my journey.
ManCity without Pep will never be the same again. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, my family, the football club, the community and Manchester as a whole. 🩵
Looking forward to seeing you at the game on Sunday! @PepTeam 🙏
The end of an era. The greatest to ever do it.
A manager who changed the entire landscape of English football and brought times to Manchester City we could never even dream about, and achievements that will never be replicated.
Thank you for everything, Pep.
@footballontnt Watching your goalkeeper deliberately handball it outside the box to deny a clear goal scoring opportunity still gives me a similar reaction… 🙄
@bailey_wynne2 Don’t you think this is a dress rehearsal and they will bring out this season’s trophies to add to them on the night for added showbiz drama?!
PS 18 trophies - what the actual fuck?! 😂
@9320pod Must have cut it back to the penalty spot from the by-line 8 times and no-one was there once - someone didn’t get the memo about where to stand!
Hello @WeAreWST - thoroughly enjoyed my visit to The Crucible for the second session of the final on Sunday evening, but an awful look to have 12 of the first 3 rows of 'premium' 39 seats being empty for it. How do you purchase these and how can you police them being better used?
@henrywinter Well said, Henry. Still some uneducated observers who only seem to remember those first five minutes against Chelsea…. He’s not the finished article but has been broadly outstanding since those five minutes
@viagogo I haven’t got an order number as I’m trying to browse the App! I am on the latest iOS and the latest iPhone 17 Pro…
Seriously, has no one ever reported this to you?! It’s been happening to me for months…
@viagogo This has been happening for months on your App… does no one report it or are you choosing not to fix it? This pop up appears and will not scroll down to accept so it disappears. 🤷🏻♂️
