It's not so much the pot of players he already has at his disposal, more the £1.5bn he'll probably get to spend in the Summer
Pistanator-
You think? I'm not up to speed with the latest FFP rules but I'd be surprised that ADIA is going to be writing blank cheques for them. City is now a strategic asset to them, I'm sure that they'll happily sponsor it to make up a deficit but not to the tune of £150m a year or something stupid.
Sub $35 oil hurts those guys like hell, anything above $60 allows them pretty much any vanity project in the world but at current prices it's time to tighten one's belt. Even in the Middle East.

You've to respect what Guardiola did at Barça.
I'm not convinced that he maximised the potential of the team at Bayern in the CL at least. One thing is cruising to the Bundesliga title in a Maybach another is doing it in a more competitive league.
Him winning the PL with the current crop of players at City is not a given. If anything that job is a massive risk for his reputation.
