See, i don’t feel like this at all. I think City should be punished for their aggressive academy recruitment and for some of the creative accounting, 100%. They might just be an inevitable by-product of three decades of big club greed, but there’s no doubt them, PSG and Chelsea have notched it up a few levels, so fair’s fair.
If they got more than a 12-month transfer and CL ban, though, i’d probably argue Guardiola might not be the best man for the job, which sounds ridiculous, he’s the best coach in the world by an absolute stretch, the gulf between him and the next best (probably Allegri) is vast, but i don’t know if he’d be the man for two budgetless seasons and bringing through a batch of academy players.
I genuinely think Pochettino’s brilliant. The man’s a class act. I’ve never really been able to take to Guardiola completely because let’s be honest he’s a bloody psychopath. We know four years is the optimum for a top coach at one club, if you offered one more season of Pep after this then Pochettino i’d be giddy. Let’s be honest, every City fan to a man was gutted at the prospect of him going to United.
