Interview from Pep yesterday, Pep Guardiola has whipped up a media storm in Spain by accusing his former bosses at Barcelona of trying to use coach Tito Vilanova's cancer illness to criticise him. "But using Tito's illness to damage me is something I will never forget," but what does Pep mean with using Titos illness to attack him? can someone explain please

After that document was exposed, he had to say something, and it surely wouldn't be smart to be in line to rosell in public. Those politics is the part I hate. I tend to believe pep for how he behaved all these years, and rosell is a business man, with many shady things on his past.

Pep was inquiring about the Bayern job in 2011.
I'm on record here saying I would have gave the job to Enrique because of the fantastic job he did with Barcelona B, regardless of his stint with Roma.
The job should have not been left in Roura's hands, I will agree with that.
None of those points detract from Pep bad mouthing Tito or using the link he had with the club and Tito to try to convince Neymar Sr. that Tito wouldn't know how to play Messi and Neymar.
He said he wouldn't go after one of our players and he's currently doing it and saying it publicly.
I will always respect his past accomplishments as a player and manager here but I really hope the club now knows where we stand with him. He's out for himself and won't hesitate to hurt the club if it serves him.

Pep being the Bayern manager is out of line for trying to convince Neymar to come to Bayern by "allegedly" stating a thing which is likely to be true (seeing Tito's incompetence)?
Pep is out of line for offering an unsettled player refuge who is likely to leave regardless?
Pep is out of line for defending himself against Rosell's vindictive smear campaign?
There no point arguing with logics like these

Why do you ignore he said he wouldn't unsettle any players, but would sign one from Barça, if he was available?

It would be pretty classless to say such a thing.They are friends after all.
We don´t know if pep ever said that though.Could be just another BS rumour.

C'mon now, he shouldn't be bad mouthing Tito like that for personal gain. He even knew it was wrong and is vehemently denying it now because Mr. Rodrigues put him on blast.
He claimed he wouldn't go after our players or to unsettle them. I think Thiago was ready to snub Manchester United before Pep made a call to him and his father. The personal phone call he made is being reported by Graham Hunter.
There has been no vindictive smear against him, our board did not leak the story. It came from a Brazilian outlet where Mr. Rodrigues was speaking freely. We both know he had no reason to lie and I can tell you are finally at least believing he said the comments.
The club has been good to Pep for him to turn around and act like this. I'm offended and hurt by his actions.

Pep denied that rumor and the whole "Rodrigues has no reason to lie" is far too little evidence to say otherwise. Hell if anything that statement could be taken out of context even if it were true. Pep was most likely referring to the difficulty of playing two alpha players together and getting the best out of both, instead offering to take him to Bayern where he would be the main man among great teammates.

Of course he would deny it. Do you really think he would come out publicly and admit he's a snake? SERIOUSLY?

Well why did he try to sign Neymar for Barcelona if 'two alpha players dont work'?
Also why has he since came out and said it will work.
You cant use your assumptions of what Pep thinks to make a point.

See that's the problem you are just thinking without any facts to back it up.

It's fact that Mr. Rodrigues made those comments though when he really had nothing to gain from it.
It's fact that Pep is currently publicly tapping up one of our players.

Rodrigues has nothing to gain? I suggest you read Flavia's replies to your posts. What am i thinking you have conveniently chosen to ignore them
Pep is not "tapping up" any player. Thiago is rightly disillusioned with Tito's management and Pep is not to blame for that

Two alpha players don't work usually but Neymar complements Messi so I doubt that's the case this time. And obviously Pep would put it like this to twist the negotiation into his favor by promising that he'd be the main man at Bayern instead of secondary at Barcelona. It's a way to make moving to Bayern seem more appealing when they were so far behind in the race for him. You're saying I'm assuming what Pep thinks when clearly you're assuming the exact opposite. It's more than likely he meant it that way than the possibility of him blasting his close friend Tito, but obviously that must be true since you so easily believe it.
