You lot should stop wanking over the appeal of Pep.
He's not some kind of never seen before football maestro with ground breaking new revolutionary methods to transform football; he's just a more classier version of Maureen who couldn't get his success without unlimited funds.
Barca and Bayern were already dominating with some of the best players in the world and at City he has just added more and more. All down to funds and no more.
Haha again, your opinion is irrelevant, we're not discussing Pep's appeal to posters in a LFC fans forum, but to footballers.
The stuff you use against him, such as having "unlimited funds", is something that is actually appealing to players, for they want to earn as much as possible, and win as regularly as possible. And Pep is well known for having a significant impact wherever he goes, hence the best ever campaigns (in points totals) in both Germany and England. Yeah, it was done for a lot of money, but so what? The idea that a footballer thinks "I prefer to play for that other club because they don't spend so much money" is ridiculous. "I want to win trophies, but I want to do it on the cheap, preferably earning less in the process, just to prove a romantic point about football" isn't exactly a top priority for most players.
Even Gerrard was on the verge of signing for Mourinho at Chelsea at one point, and it wasn't because he thought they were a classy club with a lot of history, but rather because they had a proven winner as a manager with loads of cash. Thankfully he was in the small minority that preferred staying.
