His first job was to guarantee safety. We were 16th and 3 points above relegation, like I say, closer and with less to play than Allardyce was. So if Allardyce needed to save us, then Carlos first job was also to do so. He was certainly promised more money and expectation to push for Europe after saving us.
His only January signing was branthwaite. And most of the work to save us was before covid. He came for money ultimately and likely because of Usmanov but the reason he came is irrelevant. But let’s not re write history as if Allardyce is the only one who did his job. Because saving us wasn’t needed when he took over.
