I don’t think Pep Guardiola or Manchester City supporters were prepared for this drastic drop in performance. I believe Manchester City will bounce back from this. I laugh at anyone who says Pep should be sacked because City is doing as well as they normally would. People forget the times before Pep arrived at Manchester City. How many trophies have Manchester City won before Pep came into the picture? City should be grateful that they are champions because of Pep and they shouldn’t delude themselves into thinking that they could have achieved the same results with another manager.
You overestimate Pep, City were champions before him. He just continued to master the sheikhs' money. By the way, now according to the latest news, City management is going to allocate 200 million instead of the planned 100 million for the winter transfer window. Quite a simple but effective technique: to flood everything with money.
As for City's failure, yes, it was hard to expect after four titles in a row, but the busy fixture list contributed to that failure.
Truly sheikhs has the money to pump out and facilitate signing of expensive quality players for Man City, however we are all aware of the ongoing fairplay charges against Man City part of the charges is non disclosure of contract and some players remuneration which are against premier league rules consequently this would be a major setback and would probably halt whichever new signings the club had pencilled down thus that means Pep Guardiola has less option of signing new players rather he would have to maintain his current out of form players and academy players, I had not even read any speculation of any new player joining the club.
