And I joked yesterday about him buying a winger to cover Sane. The man is a fraud

Who's crying? Specifically.Oh stop crying ffs!
you guys have become obsessed with man city.
non man utd fans are saying the same thing about us/mourinho thoughThat's not really the point though. Fine if he wants to spend money. Don't go bleating to the press as some kind of moral crusader when other teams spend big to try and keep up with a state owned club, the hypocritical prick.
In what way is he a genius? Genuine question.I mean... he is.
But this thread is to bash the media narrative of Pep being a tight-wad who starts 6 youth players, so carry on.
Yurp. Will spend yet another fortune too.Pep’s nailed on to manage PSG once he’s done at City ain’t he?
I disagree. Unless you rank anything below a treble as "non-genius", in which case, feel free to skip this.He did nothing genius for Bayern
Even adjusted for inflation? Because otherwise, comparing spend across 2 decades is pointless.and the only impressive thing he has done at City is to spend more money in 19 months than Sir Alex did in his entire career.
Damn. Who knew that the secret to getting a massive trophy haul was just a shit-ton of money.He is a top coach, but I genuinely think that any top manager with his backing would have got the same number of trophies he did.
Is he? People keep saying it but I genuinely don't see it.I mean... he is.
This logic works all the way down the league. Poor Coventry.The second highest spenders moaning about the highest spenders. Imagine how the rest of us feel
Isn't it?Damn. Who knew that the secret to getting a massive trophy haul was just a shit-ton of money.
If we did he would go out and spend even more money. They are not going away and it'll be impossible for them not to win trophies. I just pray and hope we win more.Gonna be even sweeter when we beat them to the CL
All Pep does is spend. Dunno where this reputation for being a youth expert came from. Pedro is about the only player he's ever produced.
Yet to see the bald cnut get any criticism. He's such a media darling
To reinforce this, even fecking Mancini won the title with City. With a worse squad too, and while SAF was at United. Pep isn’t doing anything other than the expected, or maybe not even that, as the media had Pep winning the league at a canter before last season. He couldn’t do that of course, when any manager worth his salt would have had enough to do so.In what way is he a genius? Genuine question.
He inherited the best club side in history, the only team in a one-club league and the richest team in the world where he buys his way out of trouble.
Go to Italy, take over AC Milan and win serie A. That would be genius. Hell, take over Liverpool and win the prem. That would be impressive. Up until now, everything he's done has been expected, so why is he hailed a genius?

Yes. He's in the elite tier of his profession, and has managed world class sides and pushed them to elite heights performance and results wise (Barcelona and Bayern).Is he? People keep saying it but I genuinely don't see it.
He is a great manager, how anyone can try deny that is stupid, but being a great manager doesn't make you a genius!I disagree. Unless you rank anything below a treble as "non-genius", in which case, feel free to skip this.

They aren't going away anytime soon agreed but Pep will have his meltdown soon enough. It's going to be hilarious watching how the football media turn on him when he leaves.If we did he would go out and spend even more money. They are not going away and it'll be impossible for them not to win trophies. I just pray and hope we win more.
Jose MourinhoYes. He's in the elite tier of his profession, and has managed world class sides and pushed them to elite heights performance and results wise (Barcelona and Bayern).
I'm not sure how people can watch City week in and week out and not see the impact of his work on the pitch. I guess a rebuttal question would be, who qualifies as a genius to you, that is currently active?
Who is a genius then? Not trolling, I want to see who qualifies as a genius in the Caf's opinion.He is a great manager, how anyone can try deny that is stupid, but being a great manager doesn't make you a genius!
As usual the truth tends to lie somewhere in between the extremes.
I think the argument is stupid, but he didn't push Bayern anywhere. They generally stayed at the same level they were the season before he joined.Yes.

But what did he do at Bayern that makes him a genius? Bayern are expected to win the title every year. They are favorites and they buy their rivals best players which increases their chance of retaining the title. Surely his failure to win the Champions League carries more weight than the unbeaten record(that was carried from the previous regime) or winning the title with most games to spare(he beat that by one game again from the previous regime).I disagree. Unless you rank anything below a treble as "non-genius", in which case, feel free to skip this.
Did they not win the Champions league the year before Pep took over? That would suggest the team maybe went backwards more.I think the argument is stupid, but he didn't push Bayern anywhere. They generally stayed at the same level they were the season before he joined.
He might be a genius, I don't know, I don't think he has done enough to be quantified as a footballing genius yet.Who is a genius then? Not trolling, I want to see who qualifies as a genius in the Caf's opinion.
Yes, they're both geniuses. I'd put Simeone and Allegri and Conte up there too. Wenger was one, but seems to have fallen behind with the times. I'd like to see Sarri with Napoli for a few more seasons. Pochettino has the potential to make it up to that tier if he continues to make the right steps, either with Spurs or another team.Jose Mourinho
That's a touchy subject on here though. So I avoided it.Did they not win the Champions league the year before Pep took over? That would suggest the team maybe went backwards more.
but... but...The second highest spenders moaning about the highest spenders. Imagine how the rest of us feel
I don't know anyone in the real (non-Caf) world who think he'll be that. Most people I know have the ability to differentiate between various achievements and give them a form of 'worth'.He's hardly going to refuse the Abu Dhabi money, added to that they've been wanting to get him in for 5 years to start building this all conquering dynasty, it's hardly surprising that it appeals to him.
I honestly think he's going to be there a while if the money is any indicator, they've increased the spending substantially he's their man and they're going to back him to the hilt. He builds this and he'll have left a mark and the possibility of being regarded as the best of all time irrespective of any taint associated by the means.
Several decades from now nobody will care about that, it's why things such as the ' Liverpool way ' are obsolete, the history and tradition associated didn't come cheap the only difference being when we spent in the 80s it was through our own means.
The only clubs capable of competing with them are United because of the sheer finances they generate by themselves and Chelsea if Ambramovic fancies it but I doubt that given they've just had a decade where they've won everything in football.
If it wasn't Pep it would be another manager of similar stature and ability.
