Why can't he speak about the game as a manager. He asked for one more day for the players to recover... What is wrong with that?
Chelsea are playing on Tuesday though, so playing the game one day later is not fair on Chelsea.
Because TV wanted the game at that time on the Saturday. TV pays for that privilege. That privilege pays pep 10m a year. Pays all their ridiculous salaries. He has 25 players to use so use them. Buy better squad players so that you donât rely on haaland and foden etc. simple.
Utilize the squad. The whining is the problem
â@@nicholashill8724Poch isn't complaining
Pop is right you just don't like the man
They obviously didn't listen close enough to what Pep said in the interview. They should be made to listen to it again.
Explain please.
no thanks, got the picture, whine whine whine
He is so bitter đđđđđ
the only problem i have with pep is at the beggining of the season he says he prefers playing with smaller squad despite city owner being abled to build a greater squad to see through the season,as season progresses he changes tone
They're getting old...Simon just rambling on
100's of millions worth of players on the bench that he refuses to use but still complaining lol
Please list the ÂŁ100m players littering his bench.
You don't get to decide which action Guardiola takes! The problem is the unfairness. Anything unfair should ALWAYS be fought against. Chelsea and united and coventry were given special treatment and united weren't.
@@NigelLobehe said the bench is 100s of millions, thatâs the collective of players on the bench not just 1 100m player
@@NigelLobe not like city is united or chelsea đ€Ł
@@user-kg2tw3ws1d That's such a non-point, then, because all big clubs will have benches collectively worth those amounts.
Slam Pep all you want but he's 100% right on his observation....âïžâïžâïž
No he's really not
Always back self interest in any debate on fairness. Pep has a bench full of internationals and 5 subs, he should shut his whining gob and realise how fortunate he is to be playing on manicured pitches.
To be fair, he has a point. We need to start helping our teams in Europe, like most other leagues do.
I'm a city fan but can we also remember Villa played on Thursday in France for 120 minutes and then played 3 days later and won 3-1
yea and that was unfair on them too
Emery never moans about tiredness or injuries- he adapts and rotates his players because some have bigger engines than others.
Simons bitterness clouds his thinking and he canât help himself, Pep was not asking for less games he loves being in all comps and understands that means lots of games, Pep was asking why after playing Wednesday did they have less time off than Chelsea who didnât play in midweek.
Because Chelsea play Saturday 20/4, Tuesday 23/4, Saturday 27/4, Thursday 2/5 and Sunday 5/5, Wednesday 15/5 and Sunday 19/5 but if he likes that we can swich.
City have full squad bro .they all are 100 million dollar players .use them like liverpool do .use the squads .plus he's allowed to do 5 subs
The problem I have with people like Pep is that he CHOOSES not to trust his squad players. In this instance, I agree that there was no need for City to be playing on Saturday, but over the course of the season, he's had plenty of chances to rest his players.
Absolutely laughable. Quarter final champions league, semi final of the fa cup you play squad players?? You play with your strongest team. Dribble
What happened to the 5 subs miraculously saving player health? They all cried for that to get implemented and it's still not enough.
You have a squad, not just 11 players.
There's only one Pep
Well....congratulations!! You win the dummy award for today!
â@@thomasburke2497What about the game(s) before when there was ample opportunity to rest players? And do you honestly think the rest of us are going to have sympathy? "Oh sorry you're too successful let us rearrange the entire calendar because you're winning too many games." The fixtures are the fixtures. You have a squad. Use it.
La Liga rescheduled Real Madrid game to Friday so that they have enough rest to prepare for Bayern game.
Because La Liga is corrupt. That's really not a good example...lol...
La Liga does this for all Spanish teams involved in European competitions. They did the same for Villarreal 2yrs ago ahead of their semi final with Liverpool to give them an extra days rest. They do it to give their clubs the best possible chance in Europe which helps boost their coefficient rankings if they do well. It's actually a clever thing, not a nefarious one. It's something the PL should honestly consider themselves.
@@timmurray2945 But if they're "allowed" to change schedules, what else are they allowed to change? Does that mean they can just change scorelines? The results? I know that's ridiculous, but I do think there should be some regulations to it so that no league/team gets an unfair advantage. This comes off the back of Barca being investigated for the whole referee thing...which just gives the appearance that the culture of the league is to do whatever it can to give their teams an advantage, fair or not, legal or not. If it's within the rules though, maybe this is just the PL shooting itself in the foot.
@@therealking6202 I think these are two different discussions. I do agree that La Liga stinks of corruption when it comes to those types of things, but the rescheduling of fixtures for their teams involved in Europe has been in place for a long time. Whilst I agree there is no doubt dodgy things worth investigating regarding referees etc, I think that's a separate issue.
@@timmurray2945 I agree, that's why I said it just gives the appearance of it. And this could very well be the PL's fault for being too rigid.
Guarantee Simon wouldn't say it to his face.
I don't know mate, he does seem like the confrontational type. He's not one to hold back when debating face to face with someone whether you think he's right or wrong
He probably would to be fair, he loves arguing and isn't one to beat around this bush, despite how annoying his views can be sometimes.
If anything, I dont think Simon would be as subdued as he is here to his face.
Simon Jordan is one of a kindđ, he is the type of person that would argue about anything. If your name is Scott, he will argue with you and convince you that your name is not Scottđ
If he donât mind telling Chisora what he thinks to his face Iâm sure he could manage Pep
City have a massive squad, really. So why did Chelsea list thirteen additional players on the match day program for Saturdays game?
Man cityâs squad is the smallest in the league
â@@TristanSpowWTF? Really? Who's fault is that?
City hasnt a massive Squad.
â@@therealking6202big squad or not that's stupid fixturing it's not like the fixture was set before group stage of champions league where they didn't know which teams going through just switch the games simple
Guardiola is spot on and im a Leeds fan. Simon Jordan is just stupid at this point.
aww poor millionaires with their huge squads - how the hell is he stupid?
Arsenal played against Bayern in Munich. They also played on Saturday and will play again tomorrow.
City played Real in their own back yard.
Liverpool travelled twice to Bergamo and London.
The guy is full of himself.
Agree with this. He gets so personal when it comes to footballers. By all accounts he was a talented footballer and could have made it pro but didnât have the application required. Yet here he is not seeing how the fixture schedule is too demanding for any player, no matter how fit or how much money they earn.
City won't get much sympathy when their uk social media following is a measly 5%
What of the city bench players who never have a snif of playing
I remember Chelsea playing over 60 plus games one year not one player complained they won the title and Europa league
đ I simply typed into my search engine â2019 fixtures list Chelsea complaintsâ and guess what I found. Both Lamps and Sarri complained about the fixture list that season. Looks like your âmemoryâ ainât as good as what you think it is. Be honest mate, every manager complains
@@NJ-tg3gf I wonder if he can remember Chelsea being a mid-table pub team before the Russian Oil Sugar Daddy arrived at the club
@@powervibes đđ€Ł
@@NJ-tg3gf Chelsea and Sari won the title in 2019? I thought Chelsea last won the title in 2017 and Sari-ball was terrible.
Jordan to say there isnât a mental health problem is pretty low. Especially when we have a significant rate of deaths in the uk especially in males. That more and often than not listen to your show. You have a responsibility with the platform you have.
Agreed. I am often in agreement with Simon Jordan, but not here. Instances of mental health problems and depression amongst young people and young men in particular in this country are alarmingly high. This includes some horrible statistics of people tragically taking their own lives. That is not up for debate. The only things that are up for debate are the reasons behind the rise in debilitating mental health problems and serious depression levels amongst the young.
He never said that. He said that people jump on the bandwagon of mental health and use it as an excuse for themselves.
This is what pisses me off with him, can listen to him about other stuff but when he says that itâs just wrong
Not to mention 5 subs which he never uses
@gabrielniz1116
Where exactly does he never use them?đ€Š
@@mancuniangamecat8288 on the pitch where else?
â@@gabrielniz1116đđđ
What a lie!
do you know who guardiola is?
This is something that La Liga does better, whenever their clubs play in Europe. They end up playing on Sunday. Last week's fixtures say Atleti, Madrid & Barca play on Sunday. But the English teams are just slaves to TV schedules.
They are slaves to money
Why cannot football actually listen to the most important stakeholders which are the players. If the players say they play too often and the calender needs fixing then surely it's time to listen to them. Other sports have had the same issues. The NRL did but guess what they actually took the players concerns seriously as the players threatened to strike.
Because the economics of football would break without the broadcast schedules and they have huge squads. Maybe if Pep used players like Nunes or Phillips more his players wouldn't be tired
The players want all the cash and to only play a few games to get said cash, that is why.
@@hellothere4045the players are literally the ones who create the value. Thereâs no cash without them. If players start getting season long injuries and viewing figures go down because the quality drops, it only harms the PL.
@@frasierfreak92 Right and without the clubs the players have nowhere to play. If Pep and so on care so much about their players welfare then they should use their full squads. Players like Phillips, Nunes, etc barely get a look in.
In any other job you go in asking for the same pay but more breaks you would be laughed out the door.
@@frasierfreak92 The players will just be replaced by other players and the game will continue.
âNone of your players are in hospitalâ
So letâs wait around for it to happen or a serious life changing event happen on the pitch before we listen to Pep and changes get made??
đ and its not even only pep, klopp has been saying this for a while. And so have other managers.
The premier league is basically self sabotaging its teams
Use your squads. It's not that hard.
If that happens then its the managers fault for not utilising the squad properly
Not really sure what Simons point is 30 yrs ago players did it so what's the problem? I'd imagine 30 yrs ago players did lots of things like smoking and smashing up their Mrs does that mean they should be doing it now?
At some point every manager complains about too many fixtures and the people that aren't managers don't agree đđ
Footbalers still smash their Mrs today as well...
All hail Pep. Bow down to this man, he is the supreme leader of all football matters.
Basically pep go back to spain if prem lg isn't fair on you and your large squad of talented players.
A.Villa are playing in Europe and do ok sitting in 4rth place with much less talent pool to choose from. Heres an idea trust your supreme management skills and have more faith in already talented players. Be a Manager
SJ telling someone else to shut up? Lol ive heard it all nowâŠ
Amazing how he's managed to become a mental health expert now, too. If his brain was as big as his mouth, there would be no space left on Earth
Simon, you don't get Pep's point at all. Why is Manchester City playing after 70 hours while Manchester United and Coventry City have had 7 days of rest? Yes, the FA could have changed the fixtures because it knew City plays in the UCL quarterfinals and FA cup semi final many weeks ago. FA has changed fixtures in weeks advance and why couldn't it do it this time? How much players get paid is irrelevant but it's physically demanding to ask players to play three games a week. Just because in the past players have played 65 games in tight schedules it doesn't mean it is correct. FA could have adjusted the schedule for better performances.
Same bloke that won the treble last season with the same amount of matches plus a world cup competition in betweenâŠpack it in
Pep comes from a country that looks after the 2 tops teams. Pep was Manager of one of those 2 top teams. He is now in a country that treats EVERY team equally when it comes to scheduling. I did NOT hear him complain last season when Man City won the treble !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact they had to play on Saturday is outrageous!
It is, Iâm a gooner too, donât want City to win anything but the fact they played so soon after the CL is a joke.
Yet they have the most dept in any team đ knock it off
@@deancorrigan1548 it doesnât matter, its called player welfare. If youâd played a day in your life youâd knowâŠ
@@londonsfinest6070 đŻđŻ
â@@londonsfinest6070It's called utilizing your squad, calling up youth, and rotating starters. Keep in mind this happens long before you have two back-to-back games. If you'd ever played you would understand.
Simon running his mouth again and again. He failed club owner who loves to hear the sound of his voice .
I agree with Pep. Itâs a nightmare on Football Manager too. Iâm in the Championship with Saints and weâve just played three games in 6 days. Injuries all over the show.
Graeme fails to have the comparative perspective. The level of intensity in the game now is so far ahead of his time it makes his opinion diluted in ignorance. Their athletes now not footballers, the margins in recovery are very fine, don't shoot me for spitting facts based on human physiology.
These atlhetes wouldn't last 5 minutes on the pitch with old school tackles. And then, they would be on their way to the hospital for sure!
With the tackling, the horrible quality of the pitches and only one substitute.
Yes it was slower.
But it was way tougher.
Graeme also didn't have the accommodations that current players have. Your only argument is that two wrongs don't make a right.
Exactly. It's comparing apples and oranges
â@@Tarek_ElMaddahway tougher? Those players would eat and drink rubbish. Those players wouldn't last 5 mins in todays game living that lifestyle.
Totally agree with Graeme and Simon, we went to Bayern on Wednesday, played 100 minutes, had little to no rest, flew home on Thursday and also played Saturday. Arteta said "its a tough schedule but the players have to deal with it."
With modern football there are too many games and competitions, you have the Primiere League, the League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League, Super Cup, FIFA World Club competition, European Cup of Nations and World Cup Qualification. Also some players may return to their homeland in Africa and South America to play in their Nations League. So it's a lot of competition and some players do get injured. So Pep Guardiola is right and he always have a point to prove.
Simon Jordons has got some balls slagging Pep like he did .
I question why he's on this show . What he knows about football isn't worth knowing .
All I've got to say to SJ is " Crystall Palace " ? That says it all .
Simon Jordan will be the pinpoint person that will be one of the person's that iss directly responsible for the demise of the English premiere league. The players won't be able to keep up with the demand of these fixtures and schedule.
Pep is right, Spain and Germany do all they can to protect their teams especially in times of European competition. It is thought that before the Real Madrid and Man City game, Real didn't play any football for about 10 days. While City on the otherhand had game after game, every three days. Man City played against Real for 120 minutes, it was exhilarating and exciting, one of the best game ever. Real Madrid was running scared and defending with all 10 men in their penalty box. After this game Many City had another 2 days to prepare for an another competition, so no rest and recuperation for the Man City players, whilst Real didn't. So Pep Guardiola knows what he was talking about. He was right.
He used to hide behind klopp and enjoy nice schedules. Never uttered a word those days. Now suddenly a problem even with a big squad. Pep is a master in diverting attention. MC lost to Real Madrid and he quickly turned everyone's attention to timing of games. MC lost their run in Champions League. Period. They are bitter now.
For me, managers like Guardiola REALLY need to start utilising their squads. You have around 25 players to choose from. A second string city side could have beaten Chelsea on Saturday. Regular working class people donât get the rest and the holidays these players and we long for a six-eight week summer break. Use your squads better and stop the complaining.
City have 22 players
thats why its been so hard to win the treble previously. It comes with the ticket. has been the same for all successful clubs for years.
Bingo, we have a winner!!!
Pep knows his stuff
These muppets dont
U call Souness for a muppet ....playing for one of the greates teams in Europe, professional in Italy, manager for different clubs at a high level, one of the greater midfielders in the 70 and 80 ties....U dont seems to know the game from managers about crying for sympathy...U lack knowledge
Pep knows how to whine, yes.
The game couldâve very easily played the next day.
48 hours is ridiculous.
Especially after 120 min vs Real Madrid.
Its not just done with man city, the premier league is sabotaging its own teams with these schedulesđ
Ps he also mentioned in the actual interview âjust bcs we won, doesnât mean this situation is okâ
đđ theyâre paid ÂŁ300,000 a week to play football and theyâre complaining about playing too much football
Theyâre paid that because thatâs what theyâre worth. The PL is making far more out of them than the players do, and yet itâs the players who create all the value.
@@frasierfreak92 Iâm fully aware of that , didnât say they donât deserve it , just saying for ÂŁ300,000 a week I wouldnât be complaining to play 2 games of football in a week
Aston villa have been playing twice in 3 days for most of the season don't see them complaining
Every time Pep says something Simon Jordan just wants to say the opposite to tap from Pep's "star status" to raise his own stock. Shut up for a second. Clueless man
"This isn't like watching Platoon" đ
I had to laugh at that lol
Pep is right as always. There is no logical reason why they didnât just play on Sunday. No reason
That's just rediculius. Instead of discussing the validity of the point, Simon talks about the privileges MC get from being that good amd that they should stop complaining. It ia just common sense, but Simon had to disagree for absolutely no reason
He said the same thing when klopp complained 2 seasons ago. I agree with Simon especially when concerning city, deepest squad, highest salary and most expensive...no way can city complain.
â@@danielwarne6199They don't have the deepest squad, lol.
@danielwarne6199
When he said it against klopp he was wrong but when he says the same thing about Pep he's right, bit hypocritical that comment.
â@@danielwarne6199you're confusing the depth of versatility of City's players to numbers on depth in the squad.
This myth about City having the deepest squad, maybe 2 seasons ago but not anymore. Do these people still watch football? đ
25 players, 5 subs and 115 cheat codes ! Yet screams about fatigue ?! đđ
Mtf need to learn from la liga they already fix the fixture for madrid for the champions league
Only England have this fixture schedule. Every other country is more sensible
Not true. Any team outside England competing in Europe has 3 games a week.
I like Simon Jordan but Pep Guardiola is perfectly right. He is the best coach in the world. He is right, too many games and too many competitions. Players cannot go out drink and smoke as the old players did. They have no time for this.
Pep is just right.. Give player time to rest so they can be able to entertain all over us next game.
OR, how about he uses more than 12 players and rotates his squad during league games so when it comes time for big back-to-backs they're ready?
Because they played in an era ignorant of mental health and physical well being, everyone is to be as asinine as they were and continue to be. The sport has greatly improved, in part, due to better sporting care of the players. And 'if my aunt were my uncle' and City had won vs RM and Pep said had Pep said the same thing, I suspect Mr. Jodan would spew some rhetoric about using the UCL as an excuse. Dead archaic thinking.
Everyone is allowed their opinion. The main difference between Pep and Jordan is that Pep didn't swear and tell people to shut up when expressing his opinion.
Simon is letting emotions seep into this debate, mental health in the young is a completely different topic, do not go after the young when the game is rigged against him, young rich footballers are not comparable to young poor workers...remember Simon received a grant from family to get started as a young man as mentioned in his book, this is also speaking from a platform of privilege. Furthermore, Man City are lauded for being a winning machine and snowflakes and whiners the next...make your mind up
Being more open about mental health in todayâs society is a double edged sword, thereâs no doubt men being able to speak about their issues more openly is a good thing and probably does save lives in extreme cases, but at the same time its breeding a society of excuse makers who play the mental health card when in alot of cases what theyâre going through is just called life and the ups and downs that life brings. And whether we like it or not that modern societal attitude of entitlement and âpoor meâ has crept into sport.
Great comment Lewis, Agreed
The ball is in play more now, the keeper canât pick it up and waste time like in years gone by, the game in general seems quicker now. A lot of the long ball teams have pretty much disappeared now and the ball is in play from the keeper and now the new directive of added time playing an extra 5-10 mins all contribute to more demands on players fitness.
Meanwhile, Villa played Thu-Sun-Thu- Sun, and when asked about the scheduling, Emery didn't even give the question the time of day and talked about the performance.
I do feel for Pep all these games for such a small community club on a small budget its tough đ€
đđđ
đđđ
I mean is way smaller than uniteds and chelseas so i agree
i feel for you having city living in your head rent free
@@josephqadire5878 I don't think you understand that saying. The video is about City so why wouldn't people be thinking of them? If the video was about Liverpool and someone commented on City, that would be "rent-free".
People wanna just jump on pepâs back instead of understanding what heâs saying
The reason theyâre fighting on so many fronts is because of their own success. Of course youâre going to have a congested calendar compared to a team that isnât fighting on all fronts.
Not to mention the obscene money theyâre spent on players and the world class bench they have
City are currently under investigation for over 100 rule breaks, have an unfair financial advantage, and now Pep wants the EPL etc to give them even more of an advantage by scheduling games in a manner which is more favourable to City? Lol ok
Awful when their social media fanbase is 95% plastics that live over 2000 miles away from Manchester!
â@@mymemories925I seen a clip of a American City fan recently. He was saying he was accused of having a fake City top by his fellow City fans, it was an original badge Nasri top đ
To say Pep wouldnât say anything about the health of the players if city beat Madrid is nonsense. Pep has said this for a long time (even recommended the players go on strike) as have Klopp and even Ferguson said it back in the day. Jordan couldnât run mile. As a football fan I want to watch football all the time but not at the detriment to the quality. The Spanish league look after there teams why canât the English leagues. And to throw out the myth that city have a world class player in each position is ridiculous, go and take a look at the squad and come back and tell me who these world class players are.
I can see both sides of the debate. In fairness to Pep he won the semifinal and instead of talking about the final talked about schedules. He wasnât using his argument as a distraction because they just lost to Chelsea.
Schedule is one of the reason that is why no premier league team in the semifinals of Champions League,đ
These guys are absolutely SPINELESS
But you won the treble last season with no conplaints
i find it hypocritical for players/managers to complain about games n scheduling.when players negotiate for high salaries jus like any worker would ,employers have the right to demand them to show up.broadcast generates the revenue the players/managers want
Utilize your big squad.
If players are tired play the ones who are fresh.
Quit whining
Honestly, I'm addicted to this show. Love the three's reactions to one another.
Why did Simon stop yawning when he started speaking. God heâs nauseating to listen to. Levyâs best mate.
Sir Alex said the same back in the day, if all the best managers say it then take notice and help our clubs, i want all English clubs to be supported in Europe.
Why has everyone got such a problem? It was a pretty simple resolution to put the city game on Sunday and united on SaturdayâŠ
Souness spot on - in the 1980s, it was much tougher for Maradona & Hoddle & Rush & Sir Kenny D via
1- nasty studs raked down back legs causing bleeds stitches & career ending infections (now stud tackles from behind are banned)
2- 1 sub (vs 7 subs now)
3- 15 man squads (vs 30 internationals at ManC)
4- No air travel & overnight stay in luxury hotels ( Souness drove 6 hrs on a saturday morning to play West Ham or Ipswich or Norwich etc)
5- No on site Drs ( Brian Cloughs career was ended at age 27 cuz it took several days to get an NHS appt - he was on track to become Englands greatest goal scorer & was better than Harry Kane or Ian Rush etc)
6- They played on grassless ploughed fields with puddles & ice rinks in January. It took more skill to stay upright & walk than playing in todays carpets.
7- Weather was colder & windier & wetter, in 1979 there no matches played in January due to non stop snow.
8 Violent fans used to beat up players if they played badly by going to his house after getting drunk
9 They headed balls heavy as cannon balls which soaked in water & mud. It killed greats like England internationals Jeff Astle & Cyrille Regis in their 50's. Never got to play with thier grand kids. 99% of UK fans love Souness for surviving his heart attack mostly caused by injuries stress.
10. For Souness to dominate like he did was amazing ! He is a national treasure & should be in charge of a UK team to go to future world cups. Brazil has over 300 million citizens. How can Scotlands 5M compete with that. But we can compete with UK combined population of 70M.
Mate, you may not have noticed. Itâs not the 80s anymore. Itâs now 2024,⊠hope this helps.
@@catharine2262 so what all his points are true these whinging players most who get paid ungodly sums of money and these teams like city have big squads who can and should rotate more often being city your bound to pl,ay more games because your so good put up or shut up i say to them
@@richardandrews5972 City has one of the smallest squads in the premier league. That is a fact,..check it out if you donât believe me. As a paying supporter I want to see the best players on the pitch for my ticket money. I donât pay the fortunes for a ticket to watch the reserve players. Pep is right, the players need to be rested to be able to perform at thier best for the paying customers,.. you and I.
The number of matches and the amount of added extra time is ridiculously high now, and the amount of players injured and out of action should speak by itself -therÂŽs far too little time for recovery,
There was really no reason why the ManU vs. Coventry match couldn't be played on Saturday. Regarding the mentality of the players. Yes, had they won against Madrid everything would've been different. The emotional drain after losing such an important game, takes its toll. Have people forgotten that English is not Pep or Jurgen's native language?
Agree with both. Souness is right in saying that Real were sitting back and City were doing all the running round: it's true, City did put in a lot of effort... But why didn't Pep change his plan and not have them running around like headless chickens? He doesn't have a plan 'B', that's his problem.
Someone send Simon the matchday program from the weekend. Take a look at our squads.
Simon's energy for Klopp is embarrassing
Villa played Thursday 120 mins + penalties played Sunday 3pm, emeri subbed his players in the 80+ minutes donât hear the villa players or management moan and they have one the smallest depleted squads In the premiership, with injuries and still not moaning,
The media need to understand the point these managers trying to make i remember a few years ago pellegrini field a youth team in the FA cup against a Chelsea team that beat City 5-0 and the same media blast City for not respecting one of the oldest cup game in world and why City field that team because they had a champions league game in mid week against madrid
Simple solution, for the knockout stages of the CL and Europa League. There should be a tournament at the end of the league season, in a chosen country. No home/away games just a pure knockout tournament. It will be completed very quickly with no fixture congestion.
What would happen in a world cup or Euros years?
@@mancuniangamecat8288 You won't need more than two weeks. Because there are no midweek CL games, more midweek PL games can be scheduled in WC & Euro years and the Leagues will finish quicker.
And the TV revenue will collapse

Finally sb spoke sense. Thank you Simon
And it was not in Madrid. It was in City's home game when both asked to subs
hmm but how many clubs will have a "summer tour" instead of letting players rest.....my guess is ALL of them!
Simon if you do your research pep said this before the Madrid game was played
Jordanite Leader = Top LAD Proper Clobber đŻ Facts
Simon claims if city didn't lose to Madrid then pep wouldn't have complained about the fixtures, he's been complaining about it for multiple seasons even whilst city are winning?
Spot on Graham, weak minded, pampered, players getting paid a fortune, there standards are getting worse whilst facilities, ball balls and pitches get so much better and easier its a joke
Simon might be going off the rails.[âđ§ â]Jim just trying to defend his fellow vultures..đ
Standing still talking to the media. That is really tiring đ
If you add on so much stoppage time then make it 40 minutes each way. It's obviously causing more injuries. Too many games.
Pep was right. They should have moved that match when the other teams hadn't played midweek. How much money they have is irrelevant.
Exactly bloody right Simon! Itâs absolutely pathetic these prima dona footballers complaining theyâre tired! How about living in the real world where people do 8 hours back breaking graft a day all week
âCoventry donât play midweekâ? Shows how little he knows about lower league football
Pep is absolutely right. simon should stop waffling
Try managing a team in Non league football where teams have to play two times a week plus training plus work committments and thne when the weather is bad you end up with a scenario where you have to play 4, 5, 6 games in a week to catch up
What everyone has failed to mention is Debruyne didnt play from the 1st game of the season until maybe mid January .
But arsenal played champions league and EPL the same day I didnât hear arteta complainâŠ.
It you want to win all 4 competitions u r gonna to play lots of game itâs common sense .
When English clubs are playing in Europe everything should be done to help them, real Madrid had a weekend off before the game and that helps
United on all fronts in 99 or 2008 never complained⊠City, always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
... and who agreed to the broadcasters' demands in exchange for sackloads of money? đ If you don't like the terms, you can't complain after signing the contract...
It was no different for Aston Villa, you didn't hear Emmery making excuses.....
Why couldn't City have played on Sunday instead of Saturday (i.e. Man Utd v Coventry play on Saturday)?
Other leagues such as La Liga and Bundesliga are considerate and rescherdule games. These two dinasours sound unhinged.
