Guardiola to be found out in the premier league

[Shibbywiggles]

I feel like Pep might have a little bit more believability saying they hadn’t broken any rules if he didn’t dress up like a Bond villain before facing the press

Only because he recognised them. Xavi was about to be sold, Iniesta wasn't the player he'd become. And he was responsible for a lot of the lads who came through the academy that would become the foundation of that team. I'm with you on the rest of his career, which has basically been a bunny run with grotesque, unlimited spending power, but that Barca team were not the foregone conclusion people remember it to be. He defo had a huge impact on their trajectory

Over the top assessment of his time at Barca, he didn't turn round the renford rejects. As said, the pepboys are the rogan fans of the footy world

There’s been lots of teams in England before with humongous budgets. They all didn’t get 98, 99, 100 points though. There’s not been a Messi or Iniesta either in City that people can point to. He won with the Kompany Toure Silva Aguero team, and then dismantled it and built a team that’s statistically even better.

He’s a brilliant manager there’s no two ways about it.

As said he's a brilliant coach, and his rebuild at city is the most impressive thing he has done. But its still a par score because of the unprecedented advantages he has had. Not too interested in the points totals to be honest, as leagues become more and less competitive over times, a league win is a league win.

Phew, glad we are not included on Pep's naughty list.

No Champions League title in 9 years despite managing reigning treble champions Bayern - who had crushed Barcelona 7-0 in the previous season's semi-final - and moneybags headchoppers Manchester City? Only the single final?

That's not even par.

He's had every advantage and yet he has two Champions League titles fewer than Carlo Ancelotti. Worse, Barca and Bayern have both won it again without him since he left.

Guardiola is clearly a highly successful coach. If people want to call him "brilliant", I won't disagree. But the idea that he is some kind of genius or unparalleled managerial guru isn't borne out at the very highest level of the game: the Champions League. Yes, it's a quasi-cup, quasi-knockout tournament (albeit one designed to protect clubs like the ones he manages), but after an entire career in that competition at the richest clubs in the game, two titles isn't enough to justify the more gushing hagiographies.

His record on human rights doesn't stand up to scrutiny either. He's just another opportunistic nationalist, and passive-aggressive with it. He's been managing doped clubs all his career, two artificially, one naturally. Maybe that's all that the great coaches can do, in the end - coach the dope fiends. But his touchiness about City tells you that, deep down, he deeply resents the implication that much of his success is down to an in-built financial advantage that blew most of the competition out of the water. I mean, City didn't even need Pep to win their first league under the headchoppers. Roberto Mancini beat him to it. Bayern already had Jupp Heynckes to win them the CL - his second, just like Pep. Rijkaard won it at Barca. But I will give him credit for that Barca side. They were fantastic and it would be churlish to dismiss that. He had them playing in a way Rijkaard never could have. But without Messi, I'm not sure Pep is really all that...

The cheek, the audacity, the bare faced lies... having the nerve to start crying about show trials and predetermined decisions defending the saudi's.

I only had any time for guardiola because he was a thorn in the side of the rs, but this worm, this conman, this stinking liar, seems only prepared to play when the deck is beyond loaded in his favour. A coward, a charlatan, a shambles!

Put em in the Scottish league permanently and take his manager qualifications off him. Down with the sports washers and erase their corrupt glories!

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Pep will be long gone when this is resolved and pretending he hasn't worked his entire career without the scales weighted in his favour

I wonder who he manages next?

I don’t think Bayern would want him back and I can’t see him going to Real or Man U

PSG maybe?

One of the bigger Italian clubs? Not a lot to spend at those though comparative to what he’s used to spending

Possibly Chelsea or the RS?

One of the Red Bull teams?

He won't take a prem job while city are there as then he would have to manage a team that aren't the absolute favourites, PSG would suit the baldy whopper down to the ground.

Even without another euro trophy you'll have prevy pepboi telling you messi was basically chris woods until pep changed his career and he built barca from nothing

Love it when people seethe like this at greatness.

 

[Number_25]

It's not your fault Pep. I willed it with my mind power.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Well it’s certainly not their fault Pep, it never is.
