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?
Was it City or Pep who broke the rules?
If it him who did then too bad, but if he did not, in my books he’d still remain the GOAT that he is.
