Opinion: Guardiola should be left alone.

Its now the ruthless nature of football. Coaches and players are judged the minute the ball is kicked and every single error is scrutinized and placed under the microscope. No one seems to believe in long term projects anymore and ultimately the manager suffers the full brunt. Its unfortunate but yet that's where the game of football is at.
