Ditto for Bayern and now ditto again for City.

So what if he had a solid core group?
I'll ask you the same question. Were Barca just going to be a dominant force regardless? Is it as simple as that? A monkey could have managed that team?
Would United have had all their success regardless of Fergie too? I mean he was gifted with half his team coming from the class of 92.
He deserves a LOT of credit for what he did at Barca. He dominated there.
Bayern. Agreed that moving to a boring one team league was strange.
City? He'll have his work cut out for him. To say he's choosing it because it's the squad most set up to win is way out there. Forwards they have yes. Midfield and D, he's going to have to rebuild.

Is that so? That why they are looking good to win the PL and Europe this year?
What's your definition of "do well"?
