I don't think Guardiola will go to City or Chelsea. By most accounts, picking Bayern was an ideologic statement from him. He chose to manage the top club with a sorted economy instead of the ones with success built on artificial oil money.
I think we'd have a good chance of landing him, but it's not going to happen for as long as Wenger has a contract.
Picking Bayern and ideological statement don't go well together, unless of course you mean some twisted maleficent ideology. Not saying Guardiola isn't shallow/doesn't care enough to still have picked Bayern for the reason you listed, but then again it's just as likely he'd manage City not caring about where they get their money from.
That said, I'd actually have us as favourites to land him if it weren't for Wenger. Barcelona players and managers alike always emphasise how the clubs' philosophies and playing styles are related (even when it blatantly was untrue :lol🙂, the players he'd have at his disposal here are by far best suited for his football out of all EPL clubs plus nobody wants to live in Manchester if they can help it.
Even Kroenke and the board, provided they'd pull their finger out and actually got him of course, probably wouldn't stand in his way if he wanted to spend some money to get the players he wants, you wouldn't hook up with a Victoria Secret model then hand her ten quid and tell her to shop sandals from Tesco.
