Great read.
When i read Pep part it reminded me by one of historical decisions ever made in the club history by Cruyff ( which the biggest one was himself when he was signed back in 1973 )
Gracias Johan, Gracias.
A quick note back in 2008 :
"Txiki Begiristain, Barça’s technical director, interviewed Mourinho, telling him that the final decision would be taken by Johan Cruyff, who held no official position but who, as the living embodiment of the Barçajax ethos, had an authority that transcended the club’s politics. Mourinho, determined to press his case, called the club president Joan Laporta and asked to speak to Cruyff. Laporta replied that the decision had already been taken: Barça were going to appoint Pep Guardiola. Mourinho told Laporta he’d made a terrible mistake."
