There is an image of Pep Guardiola as an uncompromising dictator, a football genius who makes his principles a hill he is ready to die on and will jettison any player that does not buy into the project.
Examples to support this are not hard to come by at any of the three major clubs he has managed; the phrase ' Guardiola uber alles' used to describe his time in Barcelona is just as applicable to his time at Bayern and Manchester City. Indeed, part of the reason he has made the Etihad his longest stay in football is because the owners are willing to let him do things his way as much as possible.
