one big problem, the rebuild will be compared to the immense few years we just had which is almost impossible to recreate.
similar issue at the rags, whenever they will have a great period again hopefully never, will be compared to the Ferguson period of 13 titles in 25 years or so.
we need to be humble and accept last few years under Pep was most likely our best period ever with CL trophy many other cup trophies and 5 titles in 6 years. never again we are likely do this kind of period. wining maybe two titles o the bounce, or do a CL+PL combo win in a great season is not impossible, but this sustained period oh high level achievement was a rare time in our history.
not many around like Pep.
did Barca ever recreate their early 2008/2010 run? league titles and two CL titles with Pep? they did have great successes after that too, CL trophy as well, title 2 years ago most recently, and on top currently too, but they kind of still thinking of that Pep-era as the top which they didnt hit since and likely wont anytime soon.
once the rebuild is done and Pep is possibly not around for long time from now on max 2 more seasons, I expect PL title will be shared between few clubs in lot more equal way than last 10 season.
last 10 season it was:
6 titles City
2 titles Chelsea
1 title Leicester
1 title Liverpool
I dont see anyone possibly being such an outlier as we were in last 10 years.
and if we do the comparison to this whatever the rebuild will be it wont hit these heights.
we wont be either without Pep as cannot see anyone as good as him who could deliver so much in a hard league like this. this aint the french league where PSG's hardest opponent has a squad like Brighton and the spending power of Nott Forest.
