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.
It works both ways though.
Guardiola has shown he can manage under huge pressure with immense scrutiny of every decision he makes, handle the biggest egos in the game, and continually motivate a group of rock stars to continue to improve. Managing some of the biggest clubs and players in the world requires a whole host of skills that outweigh those that would be needed to organise a group of lads at Wycombe... it’d be no different to expecting Gareth Ainsworth to step into the City dugout and do the job Guardiola has done just because he’s pulled a side out of League 2.
