Totally agree with this.And spending half a billion had nothing to do with it? He buys a keeper for a hefty sum and then ditches him after a year for another keeper.
Mendy gets injured and his immediate response is we need to sign a lb. There is nothing wrong with being a cheque book manager but I wish his supporters will admit it rather than peddling this myth that he requires time to implement his ideals into existing players.
I don’t rate Guardiola one bit, given the funds and support structure he has had. His City team may now be playing some nifty football, but I reckon a group of players this talented could do that without too much managerial instruction.
If city win trophies this season, they belong to the Sheiks for their unprecedented investment. Pep is just a puppet enabler of that process.
