How would Pep Guardiola’s legacy be impacted if Man City are found guilty of the 115 charges? (alien.top)

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?

The one question mark for me over Pep has always been that he's only ever managed teams with a massive advantage over the rest of the league.

At Barca he had Messi and possibly the greatest playmaking team ever assembled. At Bayern.... it's obvious, and so is City.. Even at Barca B, they were normally either in 2nd or 3rd tier and that year were in 3rd tier, so were one of the best teams in the league they were in.

At City he inherited one of the best teams in the league and underperformed until he got 200m worth of fullbacks.

He's never done anything like winning the CL with Porto.

Man good at job, continues to do good job elsewhere.

I presume in your line of work you go and take the hardest jobs possible for the lowest pay just so you can prove how hard you can hustle to make a living?
