MANCHESTER: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says Martin Glenn鈥檚 鈥渆xtraordinary鈥� comments about the wearing of a yellow ribbon in support of Catalan politicians demonstrated the FA chief executive鈥檚 ignorance of the subject.
Guardiola says he got the impression that Glenn 鈥渄idn鈥檛 understand what the yellow ribbon means. It is simple like that. He made a comment that is far away from what it means.鈥�
Speaking to reporters over the weekend, Glenn said the ribbon was 鈥渁 political symbol鈥� of Catalan independence that annoyed many Spaniards.
Guardiola said Tuesday that the ribbon is not about independence but support of 鈥渇our people who are in jail when they didn鈥檛 do anything to be in jail.鈥�
