Amazing gesture from Pep

Pep Guardiola has shown his appreciation to Manchester City’s staff by gifting them his six-figure bonus for winning the Premier League.

In a generous gesture that has touched staff at the club, the City manager has opted to share the money around a substantial number of employees behind the scenes.

Sources have not disclosed the exact size of the sum but several of City’s top players are on bonuses of up to £750,000 for winning the Premier League title and Guardiola is expected to be on a similar bonus, if not more.

Members of City’s catering team, receptionists and security staff are among those who are thought to have benefited in news first reported by TNT Sports in Brazil.

Wasn’t he in trouble recently for some drug smuggling misdemeanor? :thinking:

edit…

Promes, 31, is accused of being involved with smuggling 1,362kg of cocaine to the Netherlands or Belgium.

Just the 1362 kilos then. A mere peccadillo.

He’s currently playing for Spartak Moscow and there is no extradition treaty with The Netherlands.

Saw this

Hidden away up near the ceiling above the urinals / crappers in the Lord Raglan near St Paul’s. Clearly above the eye level of the troglodyte cleaners c& has been there some time.

Wet Spam Intercity Firm maybe? Someone I worked with back in the day would be doing this sort of low level high jinks.

Any thoughts?

Yeah…last Tuesday as I was in Belfast, when in the crapper I smeared the walls of the cubicle with…
R E M E M B ER B O B B Y S A N D S…although I couldn’t remember who he played for.
