Rival fans: “Man City would have no history without Pep.”
Man City fans: “So Pep Guardiola is the greatest manager of all time then?”
Rival fans: “No, he just found Man City already established and successful.”
Man City fans: “So we were already a big club before Pep?”
Rival fans: “No, you were a small club before Pep.”
Man City fans: “So Pep built a small club into a dominant one?”
Rival fans: “No, it was just money.”
Man City fans: “Then why didn’t the other rich clubs dominate football the same way?”
Every anti-City argument eventually starts fighting itself.
