You think you're just as knowledgable as a guy who does 12 hours a day studying football and has done as a manager for nearly a decade. A decade unsurpassed in trophy count because if that preparation.Don't be bloody pathetic.
The point is, most people at the very top of football aren't there because they're a genius, they were ex-players who got a foot in the door at a top club.
There's plenty of people in the game who are just as knowledgeable, they just aren't at the top clubs and may never be.
Some of the so called 'top managers' make some truly crazy decisions sometimes and yes the fans CAN see those lousy decisions being made.
Nobody's saying Guardiola isn't any good, but he's not a God, and if Manchester City is the toughest task he's faced, that should tell you something.
Maybe it's because I'm able to pick up on your sarcastic nuances that I'm not taking you at your word?Eh?
I've said in two consecutive posts, in the last few minutes, that I don't just WANT us to win the title (that should go without saying on a city fans forum), but I BELIEVE we will too and people should stop panicking.
Are you hard of understanding?
You tooThis season more than any other it is going to be 10 games in before we get a feel for how good or otherwise this transitionary 1st year will be for City under Pep. But it will be fascinating to see how we evolve whatever happens!
Have a good season.

Seriously, do you believe a manager like Pep got to the top because of football genius, or because he was a very good footballer to start with, who was then already at a world leading club with a very impressive talent base? He didn't start at Chadderton Town.
Now that's not a criticism of Pep, it's saying that we buy into the 'genius' of big name managers all too easily and treat them as though they MUST know more about football than everybody else.
It's a myth, an utter myth. They are the film stars / pop stars of the football world. Big name draws. It doesn't make them smarter or more capable.
There's no time in England to piss about at the back from the keeper with limited players especially when the said players give it back to the keeper who is then hurried.
Could do with more time before we start.
Sunderland I we'll beat with the crowd/Pep factor but the away CL game could be awful.
I'm not normally negative but whoever signed off this pre-season is a disgrace.
Tough crowd tonight mate.You think you're just as knowledgable as a guy who does 12 hours a day studying football and has done as a manager for nearly a decade. A decade unsurpassed in trophy count because if that preparation.
