Could be, I'm not excluding that could be the case. I think it's more complicated anyway, than whatever appeared in the press or in books. There are ways to deal with a loss of motivation. You don't have to leave if there are things in place in the club that allows you to correct these things.
It is the case and been said by Pep and the lies about player sales angrily denied.
He was worn down and felt struggling to motivate same players that won everything under him and his methods.
Of course a coach doesnt have to leave due to those reasons but that doesnt mean board prevented him. That board would have given him anything to stay and Pep had the power in that relationship.
