Great win for Leinster, off to Marseille for the final.
May watch that cup final game now. Is that this game called soccer. The one with the funny shaped ball!
 
He’s had money to spend at Liverpool.

Pep has had unlimited funds at all 3 clubs he’s managed.

He’s a massively over rated manager

Have always thought this. Give me klopp anyday

But only if sir David has retired
 
I'd love to see what he could do at a club like Derby with no budget.
He did.
Guardiola was appointed coach of Barcelona B on 21 June 2007 with Tito Vilanova as his assistant. Under his guidance, the team subsequently won their Tercera División group and qualified for the 2008 Segunda División B playoffs, which the team won, thereby achieving promotion.[48] FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta announced in May 2008 that Guardiola would be appointed manager of the senior Barcelona squad to replace Frank Rijkaard

Dando you have the same sense of humour as me. Google Barca B of that year. They were in the 4th tier of football. one player went on to play for the first team. The question was asked could Pep manage Derby. He has managed worse. When he took over at Barca. The fave for the Job was Mourinhio. Bobby Robsons Interpretor. Apparently that’s where the friction started between him and pep. ?

Apparently Wikipedia is not my best friend ?? but it is hardly buying the best young players when they came through an academy when a club had the foresight to set one up.
One could say similar to what City have done

It's like Chelsea's academy tash ...Hovers up the talent around.

2 class midfielders in there and Pedro who was outstanding

Sorry tash but pep has always had the best available to him at every club

He never goes to a derby or say a spurs and works with what he got

Almost makes you respect poch more for what he did getting spurs to a champ final with what he had
 
Plenty of people have managed big clubs, big players and never got a tune out of them. Pep has created teams playing fabulous football over and over. His teams are a pleasure to watch. If people want to scoff at what he has done that's their choice. I'm just happy to watch his teams play.
