While this may be true it still takes something special to mould and shape your academy products to perform at the biggest stage and Pep has certainly done an admirable job bringing to the front the likes of Busquets, Messi and others. But do not be fooled they were going in a downward spiral and he created a structure and philosophy which meant that they sat at the pinnacle for a good number of years. One must also remember that he managed to make Barcelona one of the best teams in the world without spending the crazy amount of money that he spends today but you can again argue that La Masia has one of the greatest academies in the world. Over the last decade or so Pep has gained more of a cheque book manager status by many people and we can understand that point considering that he has now spent in excess of 300 million only on his defence. We shall leave that discussion for another day but today we will take a closer look at what makes Pep Guardiola such a notable name in world football. Manchester City have spent large sums of money trying to assemble an all-star squad which means that they have constantly come under the radar of the FFP but I guess even the what is the most prominent board in football cannot touch the likes of the people who own Man City.
