Yep. Not much more than my original summary, talks about the improvement in Silva, KDB and Sergio's work rate providing support for Dinho in the lone holding role, how the structure could improve but Guardiola has done a great job with the time he's had, how our squad is too thin without the academy players to attribute importance to the cups, how that's the fault of Txiki, he's a **** and should be sacked, says we should win the league three years running, Txiki's a ****, CL is a lottery so while we need to do well we can't guarantee winning it and that Txiki's a **** and should be sacked.

Oh and I sort of got an undercurrent between the lines that the OP isn't a Txiki fan, not too sure on that one though.
 
Hi @Nelinho...good effort, not read it all yet but have a question - Is Guardiola really 'stubborn?'

just, it could be argued that :

1) stubbornness does not lead to the clarity of mind you speak of later in your piece.
2) when strength becomes stubbornness it can quickly become a weakness. Not sure I'd associate this Pep, more perhaps Pellegirini -
he had a strength in playing style that became a stubbornness, which lead to the team becoming weaker.
3) stubbornness can't allow change in the way that genuine strength can - so can lead to being broken and/or easily unbalanced (think mourinho and his meltdowns).
again not sure I'd associate this with Guardiola, who is known for staying with his core principles but allowing them to change according to different opponents and within the same game.

I do believe the acronym tl:dr was invented for such posts as the OP, I tried but lost the will to live and was reaching for the pills and vodka when I snapped out of it.

I had a Biology teacher who never read what you wrote, he marked purely on the amount you wrote, I believe he would have marked that a B, with the comment, too much need to be more concise.

Although he'd probably have put a comma or a semi-colon between 'much' and 'need', if you're being entirely fair to him.
