Huge resources at his disposal with Barca Bayern and Chav City. I think my 20 year old cat could have won the league title with City as They had no challengers really. No Leicester from left field, manu at the start of their decline, arsenal in free fall, spurs perennial under achievers.
They,ve got nowhere near winning the champions league so when he can't buy his way to a title he's found wanting against superior managers in other parts of Europe.
He won't win the league title this season because he's up against a really good title contender in Liverpool.....both Guardiola and City fans already know this of course and their win last Thursday was a mere blip for the reds
Then he ciomes up against Real Madrid Rotherham and persists in playing his strongest team for 90 mins
Look at how good he is......smashed the Millers with half a billion behind him.
Too much trouble to play a few youngsters and spend some time coaching them......too much effort and took the easy option.
