Has Pep been found out. Always had finances to buy the best players. FFP has caused city to cut their cloth. Their best players are the wrong side of 30. Personally I hope FFP results in their demise. They’ve had it good and their fans have been smug but it hasn’t been a level playing field.
I wonder if things aren't going well at the hearing and things are not well at the club.

I don't know what is more surprising - losing at home to Spurs 0-4 across 90 mins, or letting a 3 goal lead over Feyenoord slip in 14 minutes.

And all in the space of 3 days!

I think chickens are coming home to roost here. 10 reasons off the top of my head:

1. Rodri's absence
2. The loss of Alvarez, Cancelo and some useful youngsters - Liam Delap, Harwood-Bellis
3. The loss of form of key players.
4. Manager fatigue.
5. Liverpool relentless.
6. The threat of a points deduction.
7. De Bruyne's injury woes.
8. The fact everyone knows they've cheated and they are a hated club.
9. Recruitment. It started going tits up with Kalvin Phillips. Kovacic not all that, Grealish a pale shadow of his Villa self, Gundogan not as influential as he was in his first stint.
10. The fans. There is a palpable sense of "WTF is going on?" - they don't seem to be able to deal with this.
