I AM NOT denying the team was stacked. My problem is you make it sound as if anyone can win as long as they have the players? Plenty of stacked teams fail miserably.
So the question is ... is it that simple to you? Stack a team and the manager is meaningless. Is that your point? He didn't have to do anything?
My point is this. Having a stacked team is often not enough. There needs to be some form of managerial skill too.
Guardiola can't win with some people. Oooooh, he took the city job because that's the easiest yet apart from Matt no-one has attempted to elaborate on why that is the case given that any of them can bring in personnel next year.
If he succeeds at city it'll be dismissed as being down to $ and being able to attract top players (which sort of says something in itself) and having a "stacked team". Nothing new to see here.
If he fails it'll be, see we told you so.
