everyone needs to calm.

his legacy ain’t impacted. we all knew and have known he’s always had the best wherever he’s managed. simply bc he’s the best.

him losing his accolades with the charges doesn’t change that HE won it, and HIS players won it, regardless of financial cheating.

they have the memories and the medals.

The charges are all FFP violations, no? Correct me if I’m wrong, but unlike the Barça stuff, there aren’t any bribery allegations against Man City. If so, I don’t think his legacy is going to change all that much (in the prem, at least).

Half of these clubs have been operating under very sketchy circumstances for quite sometime. That’s just the prem for you. I don’t mean to mitigate this; sportswashing is lame. But I do think that a) plenty of clubs have gone all out spending too much money and not producing and b) we should be looking into the system that allowed these 115 violations to occur as opposed to deducting points and calling it a day.

As a Manchester United fan, the points deduction has nothing to do Pep. Therefore, his legacy isn’t impacted at all.

He still had to coach everyone, get them to play his system, develop players that needed to be deliever, build his team, and pick the right teams for the games. If Pep was actively involved in the stuff that different.

There’s a famous presser of Pep, where he says the owners of the club told him they did nothing. He told them “if you did tell me and we will go against the ruling together. If you lie to me I’ll be leaving the next day” something like that.

So, Pep is Pep.

The most serious charges are from before Pep was even there, and the club rarely, if ever, spent the most in the league. That said, like anything, Pep fans will ignore it and Pep haters will claim that his accomplishments are meaningless.

Let’s just say, I don’t think the charges will be mentioned in his obituary.

Of course it would stain his reputation. How can there be any pride if you have won through cheating?
