Asked if he feels like he has completed English football and what he felt was left to achieve, Guardiola said: "I had that feeling last season. When we won in Istanbul [in the Champions League final] I said, 'It's over, what am I doing here? It's over, there's nothing left.'"

I'm surprised he hasn't figured out yet that Man City are on for the 5-in-a-row. Whether he gets it or not, that would be the time to leave.

What next? Winning without 115 violations.

[@luzr6613]

Yeah... we'll just have to wait for due process to find out whether or not the Charges end up resulting in proven violations, because a Charge is an awfully long way from a Verdict. Amazes me how many people are ignorant of that simple fact.

[@YasinRafeeque]

pep didnt violate its before pep

[@MAT-wn5fr]

I'm genuinely curious. Can you tell me what each of the 115 charges are? And I'm not sure if you know, but the charges are from before Pep came to City.

[@johnnyhock]

And they have unlimited money too, you would do well 🙄

[@findingaether]

Likely it depends on how the 115 trial goes. Pep probably wants to jettison the ship before it sinks so he can avoid the endless press conference.

[@emmanuelasare2908]

The charges has been there since last season.If he leaves next year, that will be the 3rd year since the charges were announced so I dont see how he is running away.

[@Ese96Agoaye]

Win the Europa League

[@mishalalmousa1117]

Champions league obviously should give him the motivation, he only won it once, but since he knows he can’t get it again not surprised he lost the mojo

[@mholikhuzwayo4688]

Might have 115 charges. But I have to give it to Pep Guardiola. Money doesn't buy trophies without great Coaches. I'm a PSG fan.

[@finaLee69]

How about go to club with restricted finances and try to win the league then. People forget he wins the league because he has the money and resources to get the best players on Earth to play for his side.

[@abdvs325]

City's net spend since he's been there is less than Arsenal, United and Chelsea. And United have the higest wage budget. City don't spend the most and this is just sour grapes from you because he beat your team. Also winning the league without money is almost impossible. Wage budget is an almost perfect predictor for league position. In fact, if Klopp had gone to United instead of Liverpool with the money he would have had he probably would've have won 3 premier leagues. So having less money is really a dealbreaker.

[@Tigerheiress]

Not true. Silva and Dias cost less then freaking Antony. Money does not always equate player value

[@tratbagd4500]

You think he won because they have money? Has this not been disproven already? Look at Man Utd, look at Chelsea, look at Real Madrid in the galacticos era, look at PSG (yes I'm gonna disregard their local successes because that doesn't account for much in a weak league, they couldn't win the UCL)...etc
