Surely it would place a massive asterisk on all the trophies won during his time at Man City? In future discussions on the greatest manager would this be a talking point which stains our perception on him? Or will he still be lauded as the greatest by some despite the wider context?

Ill gotten gains. Wouldn’t have had near the success if he wasn’t able to buy exactly what he needed to win. Man City wouldn’t have been able to attract those players if they didn’t do some dubious things to get to the top. And if they wasn’t at the level they got to because of said things pep wouldn’t have even gone there

Can I ask you a question. How much success would Messi have had if he wasn’t taking growth hormone early in his career (don’t even know if he stopped)? And yeah, don’t give me the “he needed it for his growth deficiency BS”.
