This is thrown at Jose as well, being a manager stuck in the past.
The problem there is that we have done both and ended up with neither. We have hired the young potential manager and hired the experienced, Rafael pending, we keep sacking them all!
So what is the answer here? Experience will be stuck in the past who we can attract here, and young has us potentially cycling through manager after manager whilst signing random players , to end up where we are now without a hope or prayer.
So either way the club can't win , we are only 2 more sacked managers away from hiring Jose morinhio at current pace!
We didn't sack Carlo.
I'm fed up of the statements that are made like 'these players have cost five managers their jobs' etc - it's not true.
There's been 3 constants in the current squad from when Koeman took over in 2016. Coleman (club captain), Holgate (rotation option) and DCL (probably our best player). Even if you push that to 2017, you just throw in Keane (who every manager seems to love) and Pickford (by far our best GK). GS is no longer involved.
So it's not true. Each manager that got sacked, needed to be sacked, because they were underperforming. Ancelotti ultimately underperformed last year yet still got us to our second-best points total of the Moshiri era (which in most seasons is enough for 7th) and we should have been 6 points better off and that would have got us Europe. Ancelotti, for his many faults that I consistently stressed in the back half of the season, had this team/squad competing for Europe. People were buzzing when Gray and Townsend started well, so much so that they were saying we were better off with them in instead of James. But that's pretty much the only difference in the squad isn't it? The injuries have hit us hard, but they did last year too. Last season each of our outfield players missed at least one game through injury. The only team for it to happen to.
We've basically hired Jose anyway, we've just hired the even poorer version.
