Surely it would place a massive asterisk on all the trophies won during his time at Man City? In future discussions on the greatest manager would this be a talking point which stains our perception on him? Or will he still be lauded as the greatest by some despite the wider context?
It would void everything that was achieved during the relevant periods. Financial doping is what it is, doping. If you cheated to win in a sport, you didn’t win, and you may as well have not played at all.
Heavily imo
The scandals are all about Mancini, so probably doesn’t change much from Pep’s perspective
Pep’s real legacy:
Doped as a player.
Doping scandal in Spain while he was at Barcelona covered up by the country’s govt. (search Ramon Sequra)
Failed to win UCL at Bayern.
115 charges at city.
How would all of the big six legacies count if super league actually got punished, or we all realised it was the league saying no these clubs have to stay winning and protected and get special treatment like hello haha
Was it City or Pep who broke the rules?
If it him who did then too bad, but if he did not, in my books he’d still remain the GOAT that he is.
There already is a massive asterisk. Football fans know, whether they get docked or not.
