Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has paid tribute to the club's top brass as they hunt down the Treble.
Guardiola says City wouldn't being so dominant without the board's support in the market.
"We are where we are thanks to the people before," said Guardiola.
We learn. We learn from all of them. When you rebuild a team, it's normal after six, seven years, it's because of the strength of the club. It doesn't just belong to me.
There was Sergio. Then Gabriel. Now Erling. He belongs to the Club. Not to me. If the Club don't bring me here and sitting near me is Erling, we cannot do it. We underestimate our Club and hierarchy, it's the key point of this organisation.
They put the Club in the position, it's thanks to the strength we have in the Club. Without these players, we could not do what we have done in these years. You also need a strong and solid Club. They are smart, wise and know exactly what we want to do.
It's very well run. Here in this business, everyone makes mistakes. Here there is not the magic solution with everything you do. You make a lot of mistakes but try to make as less as possible.
But here there is not a club, Sporting Director or manager where it is 'do this and everything works perfectly'.
You have to take a decision and have the courage to take it. And after, accept it. Do more positive than negative things. I think this club, not just in the last period but in the last 10, 12, 14 years, is doing really, really, really well."
