This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Pep vs criteria to judge a soccer coach by SCOANGERS

Someone said this is about 4 dimensions

1) Titles : the results the number of trophies
2) Style of football or the many styles his teams are playing
3) Progress of individual players within the team (could be young players to 100m gbp players)
4) Reference - coach set the mark on how other position themselves

I feel on the 4 criteria Pep as early as Barca has set up a mark - I know he can be arrogant and maybe a bit a tat egocentric

One story at ManCiti 2016 his first year , he stopped the practice and said « this is not acceptable when the ball come transversal from the right control should be on your left foot as you gain 1/2 second) same opposite … « during an hour their did lateral passes like in soccer school … this is purist approach .

Guardiola may not be Sacchi Rinus Michel or Ferguson but he is very close
