🚨 Jamie Carragher on Pep Guardiola, Bernardo Silva and Rodri all choosing to leave Manchester City in the same summer:
🗣️ Carragher: “There’s one thing about this whole Manchester City situation that I keep going back to, because I don’t think we appreciated how strange it was at the time.
“Pep left first. Ten years at one club, everything he’d won, everything he’d built…. you could understand a man saying that’s enough.
“Then Bernardo Silva left.
“Then Rodri left.
“And that’s when I started thinking, hang on a minute.
“These weren’t players City were moving on. They weren’t getting so old and being replaced. They weren’t sitting on the bench wondering where their careers had gone.
“These were two of the people who defined that team.
“I’ve watched Bernardo break Liverpool’s heart enough times. I’ve watched Rodri control games where you spent 90 mins waiting for City to finally look vulnerable and he simply wouldn’t allow it.
“City wanted them to stay. They could still win the Premier League. They could still win the Champions League. Money certainly wasn’t the problem.
“But Bernardo chose Real Madrid. Rodri chose Barcelona. Pep chose to leave.
“Three people at the heart of the greatest period in Manchester City’s history, and all three decided that summer was the right moment to walk away.
“Maybe that’s all it was. Maybe three completely separate decisions happened at exactly the same time.
“I don’t know what they knew. I’m not going to sit here and claim that I do.
“But football teaches you to remember timing.
“It’s like being at a party you’ve spent years trying to get invited to. The music is still playing, the drinks are still being served, everybody is telling you it’s the best party in town.
“Then you notice the man who organised it has gone home.
“A few minutes later, two of the people who helped make the party what it was quietly pick up their coats and leave as well.
“You don’t think anything of it at first.
“Then suddenly the music stops.
“And now everybody who stayed behind is looking towards the door wondering the same thing:
“Why were the people who knew that place better than anybody already outside? Well, your guess is probably as good as mine.”

🚨💣 BREAKING: Sir Alex Ferguson speaks on Manchester City guilty of 114 of their 115 Premier League FFP charges:
🗣️Sir Alex:
“I called them the noisy neighbours, didn’t I? There was always something about the way it was all being built that didn’t sit right with me. Now we’re hearing 114 guilty findings out of 115 charges. If those findings stand, that’s an embarrassment for English football and for the Premier League.”
“When the Abu Dhabi takeover happened in 2008, my concern was what that amount of money, without proper scrutiny, could do to the competition. Investment is one thing. Allowing a club to believe it’s above the rules is another. The authorities have a responsibility to make sure ambition never becomes an excuse for corruption.”
“If City cheated their way to the top, they must face the consequences. Proper consequences. You cannot let a club benefit from breaking the rules and then treat the punishment as another expense it can comfortably afford. That makes a mockery of every club trying to compete honestly.”
“I’ve spent my life in football. I’ve seen what this game means to people. Supporters work all week and spend their money believing they’re watching a fair contest. They deserve that honesty. We cannot allow corruption to ruin the beautiful game. No amount of money, no collection of trophies, puts Manchester City or anybody else above it….”

🚨 Steven Gerrard on Manchester City’s 115 charges and what the verdict could mean for Liverpool:
🎙️ “If the reported findings stand after the appeal, then football has to ask some uncomfortable questions. Liverpool spent years chasing Manchester City, pushing them to extraordinary points totals, and competing against a club now reported to have been found guilty of 114 of 115 charges. You can’t simply look at the trophy cabinet and pretend the wider story doesn’t matter.”
“I’m not saying you can erase history overnight. But if financial rules were broken and those breaches gave a club an advantage, then you have to examine what that advantage meant. Liverpool players worked, sacrificed and pushed themselves to the limit. If the rules were not being respected on the other side, those players deserve the truth about what they were competing against.”
“And Liverpool shouldn’t be begging for trophies. They should demand clarity. Publish the findings, follow the rules, decide the sanctions properly and then deal with the consequences. If Liverpool’s Klopp-era teams were denied opportunities because another club gained an unlawful advantage, that deserves to be examined seriously. You can’t change football history with a conversation but you can’t protect it from the truth either”

Slot should be sacked just for how he's treating Rio Ngumoha.
The kid's been MOTM in 4 of his 5 games and still can't get regular starts.
Still starting Gakpo ahead of him is a crime against football🫢

THE SON OF TONY BLAIR IS THE CEO OF MULTIVERSE, THE COMPANY THAT WILL CREATE THE GOVERNMENTS NEW DIGITAL ID SYSTEM.
(Evidence in thread)
Tony Blair is the man pushing this agenda behind the scenes, are you surprised that his own son is the CEO of the company that has been selected to implement this ?
Digital ID Is being touted as the solution to illegal migration even though It logically will not change anything, illegal workers are not hired officially through HR teams as there is already an established system which requires ID and visa checks in operation, illegal workers are paid cash in hand in the black market.
For the government to pretend that digital ID will stop illegal workers is ridiculous but also very telling, they clearly believe we are morons that will believe anything.
This information shows you just how corrupt our politicians are, I can guarantee that every government official, every MSM figure, every social media influencer are being paid to promote this agenda, the entire concept is ridiculous all of the arguments for this system are laughable.
IF THEY ATTEMPT TO IMPOSE A DIGITAL DICTATORSHIP, WE WILL BOYCOTT COUNCIL TAX, WE WILL BRING THE COUNTRY TO A STANDSTILL IN A NATIONAL STRIKE, WE WILL NOT COMPLY !

Digital ID for every adult is not progress. It is the end of a free society dressed up as convenience.
I am a cyber security specialist. This is my take.
They are selling it as a fix for illegal migration. That is bollocks.
We spend hundreds of billions a year on cyber security and yet the volume of breaches is breaking records. The threat is growing faster than the spend.
Digital ID will not stop boats. It will not stop trafficking gangs. It will not fix a broken border.
Criminals will work around it.
Honest citizens will pay the price.
It builds giant data banks that track where you go, what you buy, what you read and who you speak to.
It links your identity to every checkpoint in daily life.
One breach and your life is exposed.
Look at Jaguar Land Rover and the airports in recent weeks. Now imagine that at national scale on an ID system tied to everything you need to live your daily life.
Here is the risk that ministers will not admit.
Ransomware seeded through a supplier or an insider:
It lies quiet for months.
It rolls through the backups.
On trigger day the register and the recovery sets are both encrypted.
Payments fail. Health and benefits stall. Borders slow. Citizens are frozen out until a ransom is paid or the state rebuilds from scratch.
Centralise identity and you centralise failure.
Do not fall for the pitch.
Function creep is certain.
It starts as login.
It becomes access to money, travel, speech and public services.
It turns rights into permissions controlled by the state and its contractors.
It creates a single point of failure for criminals, insiders and hostile states to target.
It will punish the elderly, the poor and anyone who is not always online.
It will centralise risk and outsource blame.
It will not stop fraud.
It will not stop illegal migration.
It will build the machinery for a social credit system by stealth.
If ministers cared about the border, they would enforce current laws, resource patrols and processing, close loopholes and remove those with no right to stay.
You do not need a national ID to do any of that.
We scrapped ID cards in 2010 for a reason.
Britain does not need a central register to prove age or status.
Yes to privacy first proofs. No to a database state.

57 G/As last season in the hardest league in the world as he fired us to a Premier League title.
Whatever happens today, Liverpool fans know that no one else deserves this Ballon D'Or more than Mo Salah.

Apparently the “Isak 9” #LFC shirt sales generated enough profit in the first 48 minutes of the official club store opening this morning to pay for Isak AND his wages. WOW.
We’ve essentially signed him for free, meaning that we still have the entire Coutinho fee for January 👍

Probably get the net spend amount for Elliott soon, so basically we've not spent anything👀
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The fees paid for signings are correct, but do not include add-ons subject to certain goals being met. Conversely, some of the fees recouped for sales, such as for Moreton and Núñez already have add-ons included.
The commenter is making the same error, from the other side.
