I don't particularly think he's been a failure since his Barca days, but that's maybe just due to the fact I don't just judge coaches off of titles.

I never thought Pep could replicate what he has done here, elsewhere to other teams. For me it simply wasn't possible for a number of reasons.
If you combine the Genius and talents of Xavi-Iniesta and Messi+Alves-Busi-Pique-Puyol-Abidal etc and his Philosophy you get some incredible results. the 2010/11 Barcelona was the best you will ever see from Pep Imo, everything fell into place from the Players to Pep.
It felt like it was one of those once in a lifetime deals. He's still an incredible manager, it's just very hard to replicate what he has done here with Bayern and City.

His first season was the best. He left us with a weaker side then he inherited. Too many midgets.

He is not a good fit for City or the EPL.
He would have done better at Utd or Liverpool. These clubs have more pedigree and history.
I think Liverpool would have been good for him.
He also needs to show more pragmatism as a tactician and manager.
City are not Barca and never will be. Arsenal have tried to imitate us and look at them!

To be fair to him, he got the board to sign Alves and Keite. And developed the likes of Busi, Pique, Pedro, etc pretty well.
Having that said, he also got them to sign the likes of Ibra, Cesc, etc. Got rid of people like Yaya Toure whom we could have used.
So yeah, we cannot exactly say he inherited a better than the one that he left behind. Which might have been the case, or not, but cannot entirely blame him for that, you know leaving us with a weaker side

History means little in the world of football,and history is written all the time,we have written half of the club history (at least the internatilonal one) in the past doze of year, Chelsea is writing history since Abramovich took over.They are doing better than Aston Villa & Nottingham Forest
Pep accepted City job b/c he knows he will have full control their, will get unprecedented support from everyone to change the club the way he wants and to apply his ideas

I'd agree if he went to teams like Utd, Liverpool, or Arsenal who have stagnated but he went to teams that have had success recently. To go to Bayern and not win a Champions League with them after a treble season is a failure. You can't even count the league or cups since they have no competition for them. Man City also challenge and have won the league and have money to spend, which Pep defintely did last summer. To flunk out of UCL in last 16, lose out on the league in like January, and not have even top 4 wrapped up yet, is a failure.

He's failing, but admirably

Didn´t they have some kind of partnership with City?
