AyeReadyStu 70 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 And the endless Guardiola wankfest begins again. Greatest Manager of All-time? Spare me. Come back to me when he wins something with anything less than the absolute best-of-the-best players and a ton of money, with the luxury of the greatest player of all-time in his time (Barca), or by buying all his rivals best players and yet more shedloads of money, in a ridiculously unbalanced league (Bayern).

AyeReadyStu 70 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 8 minutes ago, Rangers_no1 said: Yeah it's not like he took over Barcelona the season they finished third, 17 points behind Real Madrid and 10 points behind Villarreal.... And he spent shitloads of money to build and accomplish that Barca team. Let's also stop acting like he's actually done anything without having only the absolute best players in the world at his disposal. Messi single-handedly dug him out of holes many a time. And let's not pretend the Barca side he took over were bad. They won the CL two seasons before that. And the season before Guardiola took over they only lost La Liga on goal difference. That season they finished third cause of unhealthy internal politics, not cause they had a bad team or bad individuals (And Villarreal had a damn good team at the time as well, attempting to suggest otherwise is being disingenuous towards Villarreal).

Let's also stop acting like he's actually done anything without having only the absolute best players in the world at his disposal. Messi single-handedly dug him out of holes many a time. He promoted Busquets and Pedro from the B team and they were crucial parts of his success. He also decided to get rid of key players such as Ronaldinho and Deco as soon as he took over at Barca. It's not as if they gave him a blank chequebook and suddenly their problems disappeared. In fact his transfer record at Barca is quite dodgy. And it's not as if he took over at a great time. As rangers_no1 mentioned, they finished behind Villareal! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,569 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I don't mind Guardiola I think hes a good manager. Tell you what though if he wins a treble with Bayern and then a treble with city including the CL it'd be hard to argue against how good he is. I get what the guys are saying above. Wouldn't it be great if he went to a team like AC Milan with little money compared to others in Europe like Bayern etc and completely transformed them back to the glory days.

the goal machine 7,806 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'd suggest people read Pep Confidential for more of an insight into him. He's guilty of overthinking things and his Bayern team maybe isn't quite as effective in Europe as Heynckes but it's weird the flak he gets sometimes.

I suppose you didn't notice Suarez has now scored two goals after he should have been sent off for an off the ball kick.
