How would Pep Guardiola’s legacy be impacted if Man City are found guilty of the 115 charges? (alien.top)

Surely it would place a massive asterisk on all the trophies won during his time at Man City? In future discussions on the greatest manager would this be a talking point which stains our perception on him? Or will he still be lauded as the greatest by some despite the wider context?

If you cheat as a player, then later on in your first proper managerial job, then go onto a club that cheats and say publicly "if we are found guilty, I will leave to have no association with this", and yet, they have been found guilty by uefa (the only reason they did not see punishment is 5 years period, technicality, but they were found guilty) and yet stay there for several years..

He was always shady, always lying, and if out of your 4 jobs 3 of them are tainted with cheating scandals, bribing, doping and so on.. I would say its pretty safe to say that he knew or orchestrated most of those things. There were several managers at both City, Barca or other big clubs, managers like Mourino who have almost triple the length of their managerial career and did not see any cheating scandal, Pep in his "legacy" is since he stopped playing in some sort of cheating scandal. Thats not a "bad luck he was in bad teams", thats being the driving force to encourage that cheating.
