Erm i never said Klopp or Rafa were better managers. I said i preferred them both as human beings because i think Guardiola is a mercenary, he goes to the richest clubs in their leagues, he stays about 3 or 4 seasons and then rinse and repeat, that's the very definition of a mercenary.
I'm not questioning his ability as a manager or his ability to improve players i'm questioning the guys integrity, i'm convinced PSG's his next job. His sides play some lovely football but post Barcelona he's spent a shedload in doing so that when put into the context of what other managers have to spend make it really hard to compare his abilities. I mean there's basically Mourinho and Emery who are operating within the same context, not much of a sample size is it?
I mean how can i compare him Rafa or Klopp, Rafa is at Newcastle and has Mike Ashley as his owner, Klopp has had an average spend of 30-40 million net spend since he's been here, how can you compare the merits of either against a man who has spent 600 million in that time, i don't see where there is a discussion.
I love how you are essentially making martyrs of Klopp and Rafa. As I said above, there are/have been dozens of managers in Spain who have worked under a lot worse conditions. Think about it, Rafa preferred to go to Championship in England instead of taking a top flight job in Spain. If you think this is because of his high morality, you are in cuckoo-land. His high morality hasn't stopped him from being stop gap manager at Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid. The reason why he chose Newcastle and Ashley over say Valencia is because... guess what, it is easier to work in England. At Valencia, coaches are like dirt, fans are a lot more demanding than just about any English club, and yes, you get fuck all to spend. 30-40m to spend is bad? How about you spend fuck all and instead sell, yet you have to deliver? Yes, that's the life of coaches in Spain.
Everything is relative. If spending little is so important to you, look at Sevilla, Liverpool's most recent opponent. Look at what Emery and Berizzo have done with them. That club sells their best players every year and have to start over. There is fuck all continuity, it is ever changing squad. They have to make it work with bunch of raw players, failures from top clubs etc. So what do you think of Berizzo, Sampaoli and Emery as compared to Klopp and Rafa?
Mate, you need to realize that Klopp is one lucky manager compared to 99%+ of other managers out there. You are only comparing him to Guardiola and Mourinho here, but if you want to be so fair, compare him to Sevilla managers. Oh poor Klopp, could only spend 30-50m on players like Mane, Firmino and Salah. Yeah, what do you think Emery spent at Sevilla? Got Banega on a free?
