Oliver Holt article on Guardiola's first season

[Bert Trautmanns Helemet]

Yet we won the title 3 years ago. :/

Fair do's Billy, but 3 'transition' seasons in a row is 2 to many. We should be much closer to competing for the title and another CL semi-final spot than we are.

Not sure how you could describe a season in which we finish 2nd as being transitional nor a season in which we reach the CL semi finals. Those aren't the achievements of teams in transition. Look at the rags, they've been a team in transition since Slur Alex left.

Absolutely there's an argument that we have underachieved in comparison to the quality in our squad, but all this talk of three year transitions is just lazy IMO.

Great article. The way we should all be seeing things.
