Pep Guardiola Rather Leave City Than Work With Bloated Squad

Pep Guardiola publicly declared his desire for Manchester City to have a smaller squad next season.
\"I said to the club I don\'t want that. I don\'t want to leave five or six players in the tribune,\" Guardiola said after the 3-1 win against Bournemouth. \"I don\'t want that. I will quit. Make a shorter squad, I will stay. It\'s impossible for my soul to give [leave] my players in the tribune, that they cannot play.g
Guardiola left James McAtee, Savinho and Rico Lewis out of his squad for Tuesday\'s Premier League game.
City spent more than $200 million in January to try to salvage the campaign, brining in Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis.
