He took them from rock bottom of the league to 3rd. I think he’d do fine.

After spending £200+mill. They've spent about £300mill net while he's been there.

Not saying he's not a good manager. Just think it's all dependent on where the club wants to be and the finances.

Personally don't see him doing anything different to say someone like Moyes would do (and I don't want him either). And if Newcastle weren't hamstrung by PSR, he'd be long gone.
 
I think that if you take the City example, you can see the effect of Rodri missing.

I wanted us to sell Gana (which Brands did) and the €30mil fee was insane at the time.

He was replaced by Gbamin and Delph.

I am, to this day amazed Brands signed Delph. Although, was it really his signing?

Gbamin may have been a super DM but Silva threw him in when all the vocal 'experts' were saying he was not fully recovered from a previous injury and not match fit by a stretch.

Was Brands at fault or Silva, a bit of both or just bad luck?

Personally at the time I didnt question Gbamins signing but combining both fees and wages I'm sure we could have signed one brilliant DM to replace Gana.

Silva's downfall was the lack of any servicable DM.
If I recall correctly, Schneiderlin got sent off in the previous game and silva gambled on an unfit Gbamin in the next game instead of using Tom Davies…
