Pep Tells Manchester City Owner ‘Just One More Billion Should Do It, I Promise’

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has told the club’s owner Mansour bin Zayed Al Sultan bin Zayed Al Khalifa Al Nahyan that he needs another billion pounds to win the Champions League. Yesterday’s defeat to Chelsea leaves City still searching for the trophy that has always eluded them and Guardiola cannot escape scrutiny after taking a tactical gamble that backfired.

“I picked the wrong starting eleven.” he admitted after the game. “I made a mistake but I know how to fix it. We can come back and win the Champions League next year. I promise. All I need is another billion quid.”

Sheikh Mansour said the result was very disappointing but told reporters that rumours circulating on social media about Guardiola’s fate are untrue and offensive.

“I’ve seen those nasty posts all over the internet saying that I will have Guardiola beheaded because of this defeat. That’s not true and not funny. We are not like that in Abu Dhabi and frankly I find that type of silly nonsense offensive. He will be given one hundred lashes and nothing more.”
