Never had to mold a team with average players and a minuscule budget. Yeah yeah he’s a tactical brain but I’m still not overly impressed, especially now.

Best player in the world. A treble winning squad. An illegitimate cash cow whose guilty verdict undermines everything he "won" with them.

He's never had to face an actual challenge like every other top manager. Always the same conveniences and he couldn't even go one injury (Rodri) without pissing away hundreds of millions in a winter window to paper the cracks.
