Half of these players at City would not even be here if it was not for Pep.I wasn’t here when Gundogan was signed, but he was already a tremendous player, extremely intelligent on a tactical level having worked with Klopp and Tuchel for instance, and won titles with Dortmund and actively helping to carry them to a UCL final (and scoring in said final).
There is no doubt that Pep is an important part of our success, but he could leave at the end of next season. He left Barcelona and they won 5 in 8 La Ligas since, and one UCL with Luis Enrique. He took over Bayern one year after they had won the UCL, didn’t win it once there. He won the Bundesliga every time there, and since he left they continued to win it every time - and won one UCL two seasons ago. We are not dependent on him, is the point I’m making. Which is how it should be.

We are fairly dependent on him.
City will find it lot harder to attract players once hes gone.
Pep factor is our only compensation against the prestige of Barca, Real, Bayern.
Once Pep is gone, we will have to compensate this by money, like PSG are doing.
Can you guarantee Frank will always manage them for just over half a league season again next year?The "chelsea will win the league with one transfer" brigade really forgetting we finished 19 points ahead and are in fact capable of buying players too
If they find a few decent additions that fit into their 5-2-2-1 set-up, they’re going to be a very difficult team to turnover. They have an excellent first 15, but beyond that were lacking. Adding quality in a few positions will bring them up to the best squads in England.The "chelsea will win the league with one transfer" brigade really forgetting we finished 19 points ahead and are in fact capable of buying players too
Its like rovin van persie transfer. Where ever he goes was likely to win the premier league next season. Thats why mancini was furious. Van persie went to united and they got the title. I believe harry kane is van persie thid transfer window . Haaland might be the one with different ideas if he come to the league. Personally i dont see dortmund selling him.The "chelsea will win the league with one transfer" brigade really forgetting we finished 19 points ahead and are in fact capable of buying players too
PSG biggest issue is a poor standard of football and league, the advantage is a wonderful city to live in.Not like PSG, no way no how.
PSG play in a poor league where winning the domestic league for them is not nearly as prestigious as opposed to the Prem.
We have proven we can win the prem under multiple managers, and we have attracted some of the best players.
We have been the most successful English club over the last 10 years by a wide margin.
Our appeal has never been higher.
We will not entice players solely with money.
Van Persie was 30 when he signed for the rags and probably already past his best, great first season , then a rapid decline a poor signing. And one of the main issue the club would not grant Mancini his wish, RVP would have zero value at the end of his contract.Its like rovin van persie transfer.

this is true, equally players wont come to be dicked about . they want to play . i expect a mini exodus too. that cup loss has cost us big time .Half of these players at City would not even be here if it was not for Pep.
