That may be the case but do you agree or disagree with what he said he is not the only one saying it.
The match stats must make depressing viewing for united fans.
I watched most of it, city are so far ahead of united it's unreal. How long before the likes of Barca and Madrid are coming for Foden he's in a league of his own fantastic to watch, as a Liverpool fan if i was a gambler my money would be on city but you can't write Kloppo off he is a tactical genius what he has done at Liverpool will go down in history his knack of signing players for peanuts is legendary Lewendowski Gundaon Robertson Salah and a host of others, for me he is a proper manager he doesn't need Mr money bags to bank roll him, anyway it will be a good run in
What would he gain by going to Barca or Madrid?
Them still being top and it being Klopps last season will give them a boost its theirs to lose at the moment.
1. Manchester City
The year 2023 saw Manchester City dominate and writing their own history. The Citizens won 5 major trophies in a year and were named the best club in the whole world after winning the Club World Cup. The Quintuple winning team performed admirably in all domestic leagues and advanced significantly in contests throughout Europe.Pep Guardiola’s innovative strategies, which prioritise a fluid fusion of possession-based football and precision finishing, helped City win multiple titles. With a winning attitude and a deep squad strength, City displayed their potential to dominate both domestically and internationally, solidifying their place among the top teams in football, especially for 2023.
More money than he could ever earn here
Fair play but it's backed by people who throw money like it's confetti, i would like to see Pep at a proper club who have a budget, look at who he has managed barca, Bayern, City, all bank rolled by money people. then look at Klopp, Mainze, Dortmund who were on their knees when he took over, Liverpool not won a title for 30 years like i said he is a proper manager
You say below a foreign club can pay more than he can earn here then say we throw money at players like confetti I don't think he will leave for more money I assume we will be able to match any money aside why would he want to leave City at the moment it would be a backward step.
Wow you really are a bitter, he is at a proper club he achieved his goal last season and is still here if he wants to move on when his contract ends we will wish him well and thank him for what he has done.
Erm i did not say any were they throw money at players like confetti
Paul Tierney, who made a mistake in Liverpool's win at Nottingham Forest, will not referee a game in the next round of Premier League matches.
However, he will be the video assistant referee (VAR) for Arsenal's home game with Brentford on Saturday.
Tierney stopped play for a head injury to Reds defender Ibrahima Konate when Forest had possession in added time.
He restarted play by giving Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher the ball and Darwin Nunez scored moments later.
The goal gave the visitors a 1-0 victory and came in the 99th minute - one minute and 50 seconds after the restart incident.
International Football Association Board rules state the game should have restarted with Forest possession from where they had the ball outside the box.
The decision did not lead directly to the goal, however, with Forest regaining possession before Nunez eventually scored the winner.
Forest players and staff surrounded Tierney after full-time and coach Steven Reid was shown a red card.
The City Ground club's owner Evangelos Marinakis also pursued the officials all the way to the referee's office.
Forest referee analyst Mark Clattenburg, who officiated in the Premier League for 13 years between 2004 and 2017, criticised Tierney's decision.
"When [the ball was] given to the keeper, with Liverpool scoring afterwards, you can see why [Forest] are aggrieved," said Clattenburg.
"I haven't spoken to the referee - I'll leave that to the club. I went to go into the referee's dressing room [after the game] but he wouldn't allow it."

Swings and roundabouts comes to mind and, could var not have intervened, Liverpool had one dissoloud the other week by var when the player was clearly onside
I wish they had never introduced VAR its made the game worse for me not better, shirt pulling in the penalty area and diving are still rife it's way too inconsistent.
A huge game today for both teams, with only one win at Anfield i would happily take a draw before kick-off.
Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez will be assessed after both came off hurt against Sparta Prague on Thursday.
Manchester City will check on the fitness of Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes, the latter suffering a dislocated finger in their midweek win.
Phil Foden should recover from a dead leg sustained against Manchester United but Jack Grealish remains out.
