Relative to the rest of the league Porto have massive resources. And they had a very strong side.
Maybe domestically.

Why Premier League? Bundesliga is much more competition.
Not quite there yet, but they're definietely on the rise. Bayern beating PL clubs to hottest manager name on the market is just one example that PL needs to be on its toes.

Sorry but if u compare the way the leagues play you must admit bundesliga is more attractive. There is much more balance, even bayern is top this season, but there are so many other teams who still can beat them. prem league is nearly like every season, top 5 and the rest. And honestly, u can see how strong a league is if u see how the national teams play...sorry again
That's not entirely true though is it. Rijkaard may not have had as much success but the fact that someone who is clearly a fairly abysmal manager managed to win two league titles and a champions league trophy with them does cast some doubt as to how important the manager is at Barcelona.Just because some might not have heard of them here, doesnt make them any less of a player, they were very good players. The success made them household names, but they were already very good players. And while what he did was great, the fact is with all the quality Barca have had over the years, no one did what Pep did. Everyone forgets that neither Xavi or Iniesita were actually playing particularly well. Messi was going places but nothing like what he has become. The club wasnt actually a particularly happy place.
Portos run at the time was United, Lyon, Deportivo, Monaco. Tough but not exactly insurmountable

I think Guardiola did a fantastic job at Barcelona and he's clearly a talented coach but I don't think he's proven himself really until he's shown he can do it outside of Barcelona.
Two league titles and CL, doesnt match up to the records Pep set though? thats the point I'm making. He quite clearly took them to another level.

Pep spent his whole life at Barcelona. This was a club where he understood the fans, culture and mentality perfectly. Add the fact that he had a group of immensely talented if underperforming players at his disposal and was an astute tactician, his remarkable success does not really come as a surprise.
It is definitely unfair to write off his success being just down to the player as he quite clearly took them to another level but I also feel that he needs to show he can do it at another club before we put him in the same bracket as SAF and Mourinho.

Doesn't work like that at all, in fact England hasn't won **** in 50 years, while Germany is arguably most successful national team during that period, but club results in Europe are the other way around.
The difference is...with a club you can win titles easier with money (didnt mean man city ). the whole premier league is just capitalism, just money. no team has got a positiv balance without a sugardaddy or?? if you can spend millions of millions of players u can buy a succesful team, but you cant buy players to play for a specific country. And thats why germany was and still is one of the big players in world football and england (im sorry to write this) won nothing (exept 1966
and so im still prefer watching a championship game more then a prem league game

Well we were talking about quality of games, what does it matter if its achieved with money, what are you, a hippie? I don't really care if the clubs achieve success through slavery and drug trafficking, as long as the games are good.
Plus, you know, Bayern isn't exactly frugal spender either.
Premiership is Full of money and thats it. FIFA World XI proves this and atleticos demolition of chelsea, bilbaos demolition of united last year and citys embaressing performance in the UCL, germany will win euro 2016 and dominate for another 6-8 years in my opinion. england will never be top of world football for a long long long time IF EVER.
