Sorry don't agree that he's brought them on for England. Where are the youth players from their academy? One plays for us and is now deemed to be down the pecking order. Guardiola is a good coach when he's able to buy expensive players. Has he ever faced a real challenge?
No he hasn't. I'd like to see him pitch up at Wycombe or the like. Or even a struggling Championship Club and see if he could turn them around. That would be the main measure of how good a manager is.
I remember about 20 years back, just as Fulham were having the money pumped into them. Around the time they signed Peschisolido off us. Fulham won the League in Keegan's first full season (he'd taken over from Mickey Adams in the season before). Walsall came second. Predictably, Keegan won the manager of the year in the Division. When he received it, he said that Ray Graydon, who was Walsall manager really deserved it, as he'd done it on a small budget and they'd run Fulham fairly closely. Fair play to KK for that.
