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?
Honestly I don’t think it does. Football fans will remember the amazing football, record points totals, trophies etc.
Just because they’ve spent a lot of money he still has to coach them to be as good as they have been
