Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has downplayed the impact of a proposed salary cap rule in the EPL. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, because England’s top tier will always be a strong league, he doesn’t believe the proposed regulations would severely impact the Premier League’s ability to compete on the continent.
Pep added that he’ll have no influence at all over how Manchester City votes when EPL clubs decide whether to back the rule or not.
His words, “I have my (own) opinion about that. I didn’t speak with my CEO, Ferran (Soriano). We’ll wait. I think what the clubs decide will be fine.
In the end every decision, every rule, always there are positives and negatives. We’ll see. I think the Premier League will always be a strong league.
In many things it is the best, in other things it can be better. What the clubs decide will be fine.”
WOW.
