But, of course, finally winning the League and wrapping it up early would be a tremendous relief, and a great way to get the monkey off our backs.

I think you guys will be top dog for at least a few years.
I have a hunch that Pep won't be staying around Man City too much longer (basically gone by the end of the 2021 season, if he doesn't win a Champion's League trophy). Sure, he previously had to contend with Klopp when the latter was at BvB, but BvB has much less cachet and really couldn't keep up with Bayern's recruiting (and often directly lost out to FC Hollywood). While City's benefactors can still easily outspend Fenway with impunity, the difference between the clouts of the respective teams is much less.
Furthermore, whatever Fenway's purse cannot provide is easily remedied by the prudence of LFC's prudent personnel moves. It may all just get a bit too daunting for Pep...
