Pep would have a reasonably long honeymoon period in the prem but I don't think he's a natural fit. If he was getting results, fine, but his style would soon become an issue if he wasn't. Fergie for me defines what the Prem stands for: attack-minded, spirit over technique, never say die. Mourinho (when he's on the offensive) works perfectly in that sense. Pep might ultimately be seen as a bit too much of a fancy dan foreigner here, in the same way that he is in Germany. I get the feeling that fans of the Prem and the Bundesliga are looking for quite similar things in their football, and we know the Bayern fans haven't quite taken to Pep.
