Dread it, Run from it, Man City arrive all the same

How obsessed can one man be to chase absolute perfection is what I think whenever I see Pep Guardiola. Man came to England, as a decorated manager and people still told him that he won't be able to replicate the same kind of success that he had elsewhere, that Premier League is not a "Farmers League", pretty funny when you think about them now. He just came in and obliterated every doubt around him and I've never seen someone who is unanimously hated by all their rival fans.

Though most of the hate does not directly go to Guardiola, most of it is because people don't like Man City as a club. They can't digest the fact that despite having no history they are successful only because of the "Oil Money" put into the club.

Discrediting Man City's Success

Nobody, literally nobody credits Man City for their success, majority of football fans carry the baton of 115 FFP charges while the other part simply doesn't want to accept Guardiola's dominance.

Honestly, I believe that you cannot deny the fact that Man City would be nowhere near good enough without the Oil Money that was put in, but even then you have to acknowledge the fact that they took great sporting decisions all round. Not just around buying star players, they made every signing work barring a couple of them, nurtured players from their academy and created a positive healthy environment to inspire younger ones.

And as opposed to what anyone says, Premier League is still NOT a Farmer's League despite City's unstoppable domination in recent years. The reason I still give Pep the respect he deserves is because even with all the money, resources in the world managers still find a way to fuck it up. At the end of the day you can't disregard Pep's genius, the way he manages tough fixtures throughout and keeps his players motivated every season even after winning so much is astounding. The fact that he manages to win every season by the skin of his teeth also shows that the Premier League is still competitive af, the only difference is being consistent and performing well throughout the season.
