Media punditry is part of challenging to be the best, so I expect that wouldn't have even entered into the mindset. There is a story out already stating that Tixi has told Joe that he needs to leave this window because "Guardiola has been taken aback by support for Hart from former players like Joey Barton and Frank Lampard, and is worried about being seen as the manager who pushes Hart out of the door."

The stories are going to come either way, but if that is really what happened to Joe, then Guardiola didn't come off strong, he looks a weasely dick and will in no way inspire team spirit as he likes to call it. I don't necessarily buy into the hype that simply having Pep makes us a better team. He had the best keeper in the world at Bayern and he didn't really elevate that teams level. A fair portion of pundits would call his time at Bayern a failure because they brought him there to win the CL and he failed 3 times at the same spot against Spanish competition.
It's actually a stronger statement if it's done that way. It shows that the whole hierarchy is behind what Pep is doing. It sends the message that if they cross the manager then there is not going to be any support forthcoming from any other quarter as there may have been in the past.
