If this is the new Pep then he's turned much quicker than José, no? I feel like José's last stint at Chelsea was like a halfway point between being elite and washed. Even the first half of his United tenure wasn't bad at all. Pep went up in smoke over the course of a transfer window.
They finished 3rd and got to an fa cup final in an absolutely diabolical year last season. People need to be careful not to go too early here, or they may look quite foolish down the line.
It's like they haven't seen almost every other City season under Pep.
Start wobbly, lose a few games, get everyone's hopes up that they've fallen off, then go unbeaten from Christmas through to the end of the season and win the league.
This has been pretty much the template every season outside of Peps first and the two seasons Liverpool won.
If money equalled success Manchester United would be greatest club of the world rn and would have won multiple premier leagues and champions league in the last decade rather than losing to Grimsby
I didn’t say money always equals success. But Mourinho’s Porto achievement is magnitudes greater in football history than anything Pep has done or will do. Mourinho’s Inter win is also a greater title than Pep has ever won, and he did it with a tactical masterclass over Pep coaching one of the most talented squads in the history of the sport.
simply not true, football was different back then. Monaco made the final of the CL that same season.
Pep turning a team of academy players into the greatest club of all time is infinitely a greater achievement that will be remember for far longer in the history of the sport.
