Brilliant insight from a very knowledgeable man
I love the comment "Football is a sport, it isn't a tactic"
The cnuts at ragcafe do have a valid point. There is no single way of playing football. Even Pep realizes this and you can tell by the way he adapted to Bundesliga and now in the EPL.
One thing I've noticed on that site. Whenever FFP is brought up, not one would admit it was put in place(sanctioned by united & co) to stop the likes of us outspending them, they will always harp back to the fake cover: "It's to stop clubs going under etc.." Yet, whenever they drop points to anyone(usually the 'smaller' clubs)they automatically post shite like "I hope that club goes into submission"..."Shit club, no history" blah, blah blah. Where does their compassion go all of a sudden just because they dropped points?
the thing is manchester city have not just come across this and set up camp when pep turned up its about 5 years in the making all the small thing city put in place first and after mancini the club said we are going down this road and its time for change many fans did not understand it a winning manager in a small time frame doing it his way and a winning way to boot why change
the icing on the cake is pep and that 5 year plan is now showing fruit ok we still won silverware before pep under pellegrini but the plan was for him to work under a coaching style and knowing pep will rock up and finish the job off. so for get its just about money and pep turning up its the big picture that manchester city are building that's got everybody else running to the hills and crying the sky's falling down the foundations have been built and a empire is about to take over
