Agreed. That’s why I made the point about Pep taking on a lesser team and being successful with them so to speak.

The gaps too wide now to do it with a club the size of Derby or Forest, but could Pep go to Arsenal or Liverpool and take on the 3 financial powerhouses domestically, and the the likes of PSG, Madrid, Barca etc and be successful?

Fergie, for all his faults, has to be respected too. He built successful teams through several eras and in his last year won the league with arguably his weakest squad.
