Not exactly wrong. It plays its part but you can’t just spend money and win.
Man Utd have spend 1.3 billion and haven’t come remotely close.
Chelsea have spend over a billion in a short period of time and aren’t exactly winning.
Not taking anything away from Pep in terms of football IQ but getting whatever player you want whenever you want certainly helps big time. Don’t agree?, go manage Everton.
Manchester City: Pep Guardiola says diet of only cake not the cause of diabetes
Makes sense, Real Madrid has spent big for decades and they’ve never won the EPL.
Prove it Pep. Come manage Chelsea. I dare you to take on that challenge.
Well that’s enough for us, consider the slate wiped clean.

He’s been very successful managing clubs with the best squads in their league.
Now, I’m not saying that does not take skill, and plenty of other managers have tried and failed in that scenario (Tuchel!?); *but* until he proves himself at a club like Spurs/Everton/Villa/.. his success is always going to be caveated with “it’s easy to be the best when you have the best players”
Of course most top teams have big budgets and can sign great players, city’s coaching and infrastructure is the biggest separator
Fuck off you bald cunt
Yeah and Melania Trump married Donald Trump purely because of his personality.
i hate the fact that City fans use net spend on the last 10 years to justify this argument… like their prime spending years weren’t insane before 2014 which is ofc the time where they actually became a powerhouse
+ if we go by net spend in the 21st Century City are still around the very top and thats more telling considering their takeover was in 2008… and their prime spending years was pre inflation.
Pep himself deserves credit for how wisely he’s spent his basically unlimited funds but to say that this club wouldn’t be where it is today without the injections of cash it gets is absurd.
Money doesn’t guarantee wins but it sure as hell helps a fair bit.
Idk we just saw a team w no money get relegated playing your tippy tappy by a direct disciple of yours. Money isn’t the whole thing but it sure helps.
Yeah, money _and_ corruption.
I can see 115 reasons
Where would city be without the takeover 15 years ago? 4 consecutive championships? Nah way.
Money doesn’t mean you’ll succeed, but success is dependent on money aside from the once in a generation Leicester miracle.
It’s daft to suggest otherwise.
A great manager but let’s not pretend being able to afford a world class lineup and a world class bench hasn’t helped
Says man with multi-million dollar watch collection.
Money is not the only factor but it is a required factor.
There’s 115 things wrong with this statement
Then why all the financial irregularities? The money is a huge part of City’s success, critical to it.
They can sign players with reckless abandonment while everyone else can’t afford to make mistakes in the transfer market, not unless they want to be setback potentially years. They can afford 2 starting XI’s while everyone else can barely field a bench that looks like it has good options.
City have done well to maintain their position at the top, which is cheaper to do that what it costs to get there, but *how* they got there, *how* they managed to load their team up with so many great players, and become the most commercially successful club in the world, in just 15 years? That is *the* reason for their success.
I want to see Pep coach this squad of Man Utd, cause until now he trained only godlike players from Barca, Bayern and City.

You can’t tell me it’s not a factor.
Okay sure Pep, whatever you say
Yup a lot of money is

Sure Jan
I mean, maybe, but it doesn’t freakin hurt.
Seems dubious at best
