OK, u define exceptional coach as a coach that manages low budget team and wins something big, let me discount FA cups, super cups, charity cups etc and assume that the something big u mean is what we have been discussing here since which is either premier league or champions league. Wenger stays 20years in Arsenal with a low budget and wins only three premier league titles which translates to winning one premier league title in six to seven years. Do u also group Wenger as exceptional coach if he managed low budget team but was only able to win something big once in six years? If yes, then other examples of exceptional coaches would be Kenny Dalglish, Claudio Rianeri, Rafael Benitez, Jose Mourinho, etc and not Alex Ferguson.
2. Go check the salaries of the men that played under Ferguson in Man U and u realise he didn't have any low budget team then. Check Rooney, Vidic, Ferdinand, Young, Van Persie, Ronaldo and so many of them including the old players, comparing their salaries with the salaries of other players in Europe then, u realise the man didn't have a low budget. Man United had always been the club that paid players biggest wages in England till Man City and Chelsea emerged to compete with them and Man City and Chelsea haven't even been able to entirely out-pay them since. So, Ferguson as an example doesn't fit into ur definition of exceptional coaches.
Do u sincerely agree that Kenny Dalglish, Claudio Rianeri, Rafa Benitez, Wenger are exceptional coaches and Guardiola isn't?

ThisCouldBeUs:
Average coach. Today he wants to retire...tomorrow another rubbish excuse for failing man city squad.

Ximenez:
In Spain, Guardiola only have two teams to worry about and the El classico is the only big match where he had to worry about. But in Epl any team can beat any team cos even the so called small teams have exceptional players thanks to the money generated from TV right and how it's shared unlike the LA Liga where the two big teams are light years ahead of others, how many teams in La Liga can afford Neymar, Messi, Suarez, Bale or Ronaldo?

like I stated he was on loan to espanyol at the age of 19 bt he was an inter player and you said costa wasn't among top 5 strikers and aguero that's why I gave you proof and by the way since when is it that you must score more than one season to be among the top 5 .Now let me ask if let's say hazard wins world best ,is he not number one on the list at that time? Costa and aguero at that time where among top 5 strikers plus falcao had already left in costa's last season .please don't downplay those players achieve cause you don't like epl. Plus please name the strikers that were top 5 in the list that aguero and costa didn't make.I can tell you confidently you can't count the strikers that are better at that time.When you know the truth say it.

the irony of it all is that only messi and ronaldo have had those kinds of goal records even in spain. there are so many other strikers who played in spain and england and they had the same numbers of goals at both places. maybe barca and Madrid have had too much quality over the years to support messi and ronaldo. but seriously if messi comes to the EPL with his barca team that gave him 50 goals a season and ronaldo comes to the EPL with the same exact madrid team that gave him 48 goals in a season, they would both score same. truth is that the world has never had players who scored more goals than messi and ronaldo.

chrissy3:
CHECK how many goals suarez scored last season

ddippset:
meaning what? I don't know what you are implying but that's probably the difference between you and me. Football fans are so fickle nowadays. FOOTBALL DOES NOT BEGIN AND END WITH GOALS. why do you people keep talking about 'check how many goals he scored, this and that'. Its embarrassing to hear so called football fans talk like this. I tell you solemnly barca still hasn't seen the Luis Suarez form that made them buy him from Liverpool. Forget the goals that messi and co were giving him on a platter. Suarez played his best football in life at Liverpool.

chrissy3:
You said only messi and ronaldo have scored that much goals that's y I said you should check suarez .Is it not obvious how suarez goal scoring doubled immediately he stepped foot in spain ? Bottom line is Spanish league defenses are a bonus to ronaldo and messi and both players won't score those numbers if they were in england but unfortunately no one can confirm.

LesbianBoy:
Over-hyped coach! If it was in barca or bayern, by now he would have won the league already! rubbish!

"Special one" is far better!

I am so happy he fell for our "trap" by listening to we "haters" who told him to come to EPL to prove himself!

He (Guardiola) will go trophyless this season!

Btw...How I wish messi will also fall for our "trap" and come to england. Lemme see whether he will win all the trophies like he is doing at barcelona

Ximenez:
. My point is Guardiola is very good but I'm scared he might find it difficult to Win the Epl with Tiki Taka, he's already frustrated already talking about retirement and all at 45, and i can vividly remember at the start of the season when he said he wanted City to lose after winning their first ten matches. I guess he got excited too quickly.
