I don’t think trophy tallies are what anyone will judge him on. The city fans don’t care about the domestic cups anymore, he could have won them both every season and it wouldn’t be what he’s judged on. The charity shield and what not even less so.
He’s basically won 2 PLs out of 4, and not got past the QF of the CL. It’s a middling record when all is said and done. Some are up in arms with him for not buying a decent defender last summer.
The City fans don't care about domestic cups anymore?
The ones I speak to certainly do! They were gutted Liverpool won the league this season....they wouldn't have been gutted if they weren't bothered.
SAF is rightly so lauded as the best manager of all time and during time as Man Utd manager - when he had arguably the best players and the biggest budget, he won 2 Champions Leagues.
Does that tarnish his legacy? Of course not.
It's just a way of some to use as a whip when judging Pep's time at clubs.
In 4 seasons he's won more at Man City than any other previous City manager has done.
In years to come, he will be looked back at by City fans are a big big part of their history - and a successful part.
