What Pisti said.
I think what's interesting is clubs searching for coaching talent, Laudrup at Swansea being the most prominent. And his coaching up, good, but not great players, to improve on what his predecessors did, after the midway point, they are sitting pretty on 30 points, ten off nominal safety (which is the first thing every manager of a smaller team needs to secure) and have played some stylish attacking football to do it, which has put some of the bigger teams above them to shame.
I'd love if Guardiola's love of english football lead him to somewhere like Palace (great youth system) or Villa (turning out a load of talented if callow players), I know he'll end up with a big spender, or a club with money, my money if I did bet is he goes to Arsenal, less upheaval, they're already got the foundations in place, and the board will give him time..
PS. Which teams in english football produce the most young players, whichever their current placing. Any websites that track this sort of thing
