The comment I was making, which I probably didn't express too clearly, was the fact that this criticism of Pep had spilled over to become severe criticism of City and City's 'poor' League form, when that particular aspect should have been of no concern to the Spanish media.
I know it's a bit different but when Moyes and Neville were both managing in Spain, the media in this country weren't on their backs because of the poor League form of their respective Clubs over there; a factor which didn't affect us one iota.
I don't know if Bayern Munich were slagged off at all by the Spanish press when Pep was managing that particular Club, but it just seemed another instance of City, as usual, 'catching it in the neck' most unfairly. I mean, it's bad enough what we have to put up with from the media in this country, without foreign news agencies queuing up to put the boot in as well, be they politically motivated or not.
