This is a man that has revolutionised football. His legacy is beyond management really. He's inherited the Cruyff philosophy and taken it to a new level. Tika-taka is him, playing out from the back is him, changing the face of what it is to be a goalkeeper now is him, playing with a false nine is him. Sure, you can go really far back and attribute some of the tika-taka to the Brazil team of 1970 or the Dutch team with Cruyff but no one has managed to take that game and make it work in different territories like Pep has. For that reason alone, he sits above Ferguson. Ferguson was a great manager but the Aberdeen era was a different time in football. You're talking about an era where Forest can win the European Cup, Derby the first division straight from promotion. An era where the entire country was so far behind when it came to fitness and professionalism that the gains from taking things seriously aren't marginal. They're huge. Pep is a great manager too but he's beyond that. He's a visionary. It's always opposition fans that label him a chequebook manager. It's bitterness, pure and simple.

Jose? Now he's a chequebook manager but for some reason Sandy, you didn't seem to have an issue with him.

Jose is a chequebook manager, not disputing that. But any manager would have won trophies at the three clubs Pep has managed at, it is that easy.

Even Lampard?

For someone who has supposedly been watching football for over fifty years he knows shockingly little.

Ripleys right about Pep too, anyone who thinks their manager conducts transfer negotiations knows nothing about how the system works
---

If that's the case why is he giving interviews to the press talking about negotiations?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because he is being asked a question

Nah just facts mate. The modern supporters don't seem to get their heads around those.

The clubs Pep has managed, my Granny could win trophies with, and she passed away 50 years ago, good bless her.
