How many times City were favorites before Pep took over?The reason City are among the favourites is because of the squad and resources they have and had been before Pep got there.
They reason they haven’t won it is down to Pep himself.
City, Liverpool are considered as favorites because of the manager they have in charge.
Squad quality is rated differently based on who is in charge. The squad that didn't look as good suddenly started to look awesome once Tuchel became manager.He wins the league with the best squad in the league. To his credit he’s consistent at it. Top teams want him because if you give him the resources, he will more often than not deliver a strong league performance. But he isn’t turning water into wine.
Great managers makes everything better than they are, opposite is true for average managers. Managers elevate the squad quality.
