he takes no responsibility for signings or their academy. none. in fact, according to rossell, he was against bringing in ronaldinho in the first place. basically he had to keep a very talented squad of players organised, happy, fit and motivated and with the help of ten cate managed it to do it for two seasons.
there have been plenty of average managers/coaches win things at real and barca, because their system of ownership and buying power means they'll invariably have great players to work with.
if guardiola goes onto win la liga next season i won't be hailing him the second coming either.
