Understandably as he progressed us season upon season.
The lack of respect some of our ungrateful fans have for him is laughable.
I would say that is more applicable to our current manager rather than NP.
Don't think I've ever seen anyone say he was a bad manager for us, just question of we would have had the success we did if he was still in charge.
It's something we will never know the answer to but I'm pretty sure that we wouldn't have won the league, or be in the position we are now in challenging for a CL spot 2 seasons on the run had he still been in charge now.
We wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for him, but that doesn't mean he would have taken us this high.
He is undoubtedly one of our best managers and it was a great time to be a City Fan after years of crap, however, if he were to be as great as you proclaim him to be, he would have repeated the successes here elsewhere and eclipsed them but that clearly has not happened.
