Just a thought...Like many I gave Carlo the benefit of the doubt at times last season but it now seems to me that he was probably disinterested towards the end and with what is clear now, a lack of loyalty and desire to see this through. This is what we will continue to get even if we could secure someone of that ilk next.
Then there’s the relatively untested, young and hungry high risk manager that could easily go horribly wrong.
OR there’s the safe bet option that could get us Europe and will take us to that next step that serves as the platform for the ‘serial winner’ type that can take it from there. - This medium term process btw will be between 2-3 years until certain contracts expire in my estimation.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with accepting there’s stages we need to reach first to get to being one of the best again.
