Yes it would, considering the season we are having and how far we are ahead of not only just everyone in England but quite a few big teams in Europe too.
Many a City fan considering the last 30-40 years will happily take any trophy as success but do you really see the board accepting that?
If we just win the league then Conte will have had a better 2 years than Pep despite a pretty poor season this campaign and if Mourinho wins the FA Cup which I think you have to fancy then doing now, Jose will have won 3 major trophies minimum at the end of this season.
Even Pellegrini won a double in his first season.
What will make the media really turn on Pep is if an English team other than us wins the Champions League this season.
