You're an idiot.
Err, I don't think so but if random insults make you happy go for it.
I was making a joking reference to Kevin Keegan which nobody seems to have picked up on. Those were the instructions he gave to Scholes on England duty which Scholes and most of his colleagues thought were idiotic. I'm not seriously saying that Guardiola is as bad as Keegan (in the same way I would have thought it was fairly obvious I wasn't saying I could have managed Barca and Bayern).
The serious point is that I thought Pep would struggle and that he had things incredibly easy in his only two jobs in management (pressure aside). People were hailing him as a messiah but thus far there can be nobody who isn't surprised how poorly City have done under him.
After 10 games last term (despite the fact they weren't even playing well) everyone was waxing lyrical. Almost 12 months on, no trophies, miles adrift last term, below average start this term, unfixed problems in the squad. He's too stubborn and too closed-minded to be a true great in my opinion but we'll see, maybe he will change (or maybe he won't but will still do brilliantly and I'm just wrong).
