Yeah, storm in a tea cup

I think some people just want an excuse to have a go at him due to the whole "He's coming to save English football and show us how it's done" narrative that was pushed in some circles when he first arrived

Personally, I think he's learnt a lot from coming to England. There's no doubt he had to adapt his style somewhat to make it work, and now he's reaping the benefit

Rather than "saving" English football, he's learnt from it to make himself an even better manager. Some don't seem to see it that way though, and are looking to have a pop whenever they can

I'd agree with all that. His first season here showed he didn't know everything.

How can he not win with KDB, Sterling, Jesus etc who were world class stars before he even joined

Yes mate.
Everyone was clambering to get to Sterling when Pellegrini was his manager.
"How can he not win". A baffling question. That's like saying how does Champions League winning Zidane not win with Madrid. A whole host of reasons depict a side's trajectory.
Just put your hands up and say "Pep Guardiola is the best manager in world football" and be done with it.

If United beat them on Sunday the gap will be down to five points.

So people rate Guardiola as this great manager perhaps the best in the world but what defines a great manager.
Should a manager who is managing Barcelona with the best team in the world win the league and champions league... yes. he won the champions league twice with barcelona out of four attempts, he won the league 3 times out of 4. Is Luis Enrique a great manager too? or does he just managing a great team?
Should a manager with Bayern Munich win the champions league, a team who in his era there perhaps the best in the world.... yes, he didnt win it. He won the bundesliga 3 times but hardly surprising when he signed all their rivals best players from them, eg Lewandowski and Gotze.
My main point being, he failed at Bayern Munich, the league was a gimme for the them but ultimately the champions league he didnt even reach a final.
As for the premier league when did a team last win the league playing Barca esque style football? I dont think its been done. Look what that style did to Everton last season. Then compare Leicester's effective counter attack style.
For me Guardiola has done what has been expected of him as a whole on his career and certainly is no elite manager. His style will be found out and I expect him be struggling next season. I cant understand the hype and odds suggest Man City are huge favourites to win the league... not for me.

He has been found to be an egotistical pain in the arse. Let's see him try with West Brom's budget

None of the big name managers in the world would win anything with West Brom.

Mourinho, Simeone or Conte would make them harder to beat.

Guardiola, Zidane, Wenger or Pocchetino would have them playing better football.

Without better players you can't play better football. Think Martinez. Guardiola at West Brom would get tanked every week. Agree the first three might make them harder to beat.
 
Being reported City offered £850K a week to Messi with a £88 million signing on fee in the summer.

No shame in the petro dollar clubs showing off with their state run funds.

Platini the corrupt sod went to light on the petro dollar clubs because one of them was a French club and he was desperate to see a french club win a Champions League,PSG also gave one his sons a job near board level,it wouldn't surprise me if the now proven corrupt Platini also got some nice big cash transactions from Abu Dhabi and Qatar in Swiss bank accounts to go easy on the laughable weak FFP fines both got.
