Why is Pep allowed to wear a political statement on his coat or jumper.Iwas under the impression that political and religious symbols were banned by FIFA
Rules changed didn't they?
Is it because he's not English?

FIFA''s rules and regs are decided by an 8 person panal. 4 of whom are from the UK and 4 of whom represent everywhere else in the world. So it's difficult to imagine something that ended "UNLESS YOU'RE ENGLISH!!!!!" being voted into the official rules.
I'm not aware of it either, but this thread is evidence in itself that some of the public are uneasy about Pep Guardiola's political statement, even if there are no rules forbidding it. My point is that had it been an English manager displaying a statement of personal political view he would without a shadow of a doubt have been rebuked far more by the public than Guardiola has.
Well, I'm really disappointed!!! When I saw the title I thought we'd got ourselves a new manager! Bugger! Mind you, there are some on here who'd still complain that he wasn't up to league 1, didn't know how to build a defence etc etc etc ....
Well done Guardiola .. I think it is right to protest against the taking of political prisoners .
