As the boss says , we aren't hiring winners , we are hiring managers who have relegation or nothing at all on their resumes.It;s monotonous and cretinous: hire manager ----> wait for short term downturn ----> sack him with compo ----> hire new manager - rinse/repeat
Two of our last 3 full contract managers had relegated a club in this league. One short term manager is famous for simply keeping clubs up before being sacked.
Liverpool replaced an under performing manager with a bundesliga winning manager. Look what difference that had on their fortunes. Chelsea hire title winning managers when they sack their last ones and it brings them more trophies.
You can't wonder why we underperform and have such a negative attitude at the club when we keep hiring sacked / relegation form managers over and over again. Especially when we are signing players who have won things that matter , and played in teams that matter. Much like Moyes telling the reigning champions to defend a 1-0 lead. We are asking managers whos best experience is going down to motivate a team to be competing with title winning managers at the top.
And it's not about the money anymore , we have damn well made sure our spending has matched them
