I put Wenger at number 2. He won so much with fairly limited resources and at the end of his career with very limited resources. Pep has had an open checkbook. I reckon that Wenger with this Arsenal side would win the Prem quite comfortably.

[@smallbudoo]

There’s a huge difference between you reckoning and it actually happening.

[@SN64736]

I'm a Wenger fanboy and even I can't agree with this. At the end of his Arsenal career, he did actually spend a decent amount. It was the first 16/17 years or so that he didn't spend that much, 2006-2013 especially. Post 2013 , he spent money, it was just spent poorly. Also, no manager wins this current Premier league comfortably vs this City side.

[@guneytopal7076]

As a gooner I wouldn't even put him 3rd. He should've won the CL in 04 and 06 and the League in 03 but he bottled all of them. He revolutionised the league but he was stubborn and arrogant and most of his success was more due to his ability to sign players with good potential. I think he would be better as a Sporting Director in the modern game.

You can throw titles in there fair enough BUT BUT, Klopp and Wenger won things on a lesser budget than their rivals Klopp Wenger and Fergie brought through youth (as in multiple players into the 1st team) pep and Jose didn't Pep and Jose walked into teams that were already built and winning things For these reasons I think pep and Jose belong below Klopp Wenger and fergie

[@DavidRegaL-lw5xz]

By that logic Big Sam, Tony Pulis and other Sunday league managers should be classed as the best if we're going by budget

[@KarmaKahn]

No, lol. If you think it is a walk in the park to build on previous success then what about Chelsea (who have spent twice as much as anybody else) and Man United? I'd say the most difficult thing is the generational transition *_while_* you have success. Clubs usually fail when they transition from one generation to the other. Pep has managed that successfully, *_twice._*

I know that the opinion of having money helps when you are a manager is understandable. However, every manager would choose to be in a similar situation to Pep. What makes Pep different are his talent, impact, and influence. Yes he is number 2 but even SAF lost twice to him in the UCL, if not we would have had 4 UCL titles. I believe he will eventually be number 1 regardless of whether he eclipses the number of trophies of SAF. I would never disrespect SAF but my advice is to appreciate Pep now you can watch him because he is truly special.

[@tomcrown9546]

Ignoring the financial conditions in which every manager operated is just unfair. Wenger stopped winning titles when Arsenal had to pay for the stadium and there was no money availiable. He had to sell his best players every year for almost a decade. You think Guardiola would do better in such conditions? Also Wenger could have left numerous times and won trophies in other countries but he remained loyal to Arsenal despite the dire financial restrictions.

[@lawmantheonetrueking3739]

Pep learned from Cruyff, walked into arguably the best club team ever. Went to treble winners and left without a CL. Arrived at a State owned club that also had won PL recently. Every club he’s inherited world class players and an open cheque book. He is the best just now but nowhere near SAF. Looking forward to Pep the Honourable taking on his biggest ever challenge by going to a club like Majorca, Brescia or say QPR and turning them into a dominant force just like SAF did at Aberdeen and of course Cloughie did at Forest/Derby.
