    I honestly don’t think Pep would do well in MLS. Much of his success comes on the back of a basically unlimited transfer budget, and I don’t think he’d make it more than 20 seconds into an explanation about the difference between GAM and TAM before his eyes glazed over:

    It would also go some way towards answering another question often sent the way of Guardiola: what could he do with more limited resources? While there is increasing flexibility, a salary cap restricts the wage bill outside the league’s designated players such as Messi and another former Guardiola student, Thomas Müller. There are no limitations on what a franchise can spend on staff, though, opening the door for an ambitious owner to make a move.

      Okay, I was willing to poo-poo Pep to NYCFC, but now you’ve got me thinking of Pep with my local fourth tier club and that would actually be a lot of fun.
