The same as Fergie, Mourinho and every Bayern/Real/Chelsea manager. They ALL bought their trophies, outspending the others.

Ferguson/Jose did it at smaller clubs as well.

£120 million on full backs in one summer!!

I could imagine Jose doing well at a club like Stoke, making them solid - Pep - no chance

The BBC have spent last 25 years sniffily refusing to show pitch invaders, streakers, crowd trouble, tunnel scuffles.

They really are pompous.

Annoying, isn't it? I'd much rather watch Guardiola go loco (and Paul Cook) than listen to Jenas droning on and sticking up for his chums.

As for the BBC, Pep acting like a bell in the tunnel is EXACTLY what I pay the licence fee for. Show it FFS.
If they did then Saint Gary would have to say "Pep acting like a bell in the tunnel", and that ain't never going to happen.

I guess we should be grateful, I shudder to think how our loose cannon behaves, he probably makes Pep look like Hamble from Playschool.

Pretty much bang on with their core support, I lived in Wigan for about 4years during the time when Martinez and Jesus played for them at Springfield Park, I went a few times watching with Wigan Ath mates they had possibly the worst away end ever, I think we drew the first time Brighton went it was freezing 2-2 if I’m right. Anyway they attracted anywhere between 2-3.5k at home back then, the rugby clubs support had already started to dwindle from the highs of 30k in the past.

Wigan RL average league attendances have been at the same level for the last 30 years:

(13,700 was the 2017 figure). Which is typical.

You may be thinking of very rare occasions where 30,000+ filled Central Park.

Just seen it. Never, ever was that a red card.
One footed, wasn't high, took some of the ball.

Deary me.

Lineker always thinking of his next boot licking interview, burning no bridges.

Mourinho £700m squad and outclassed in the PL.

Both Mourinho and Pepe wouldn't last 5 minutes at Stoke. Mourinho would politic about the budget, sulk.

Jose won the CL with Porto and Inter - pretty damn impressive.

Jose is an expert at organising a defence at least.
