Because if 5 managers in 2 years all fail, the trainer is rarely the problem. I'd venture that the reason United fell off isnt solely due to appointing a clueless manager 5 times in a row. It's because the club is run poorly.Why does it matter how many managers a club goes through if the end result is success? Abramovich used to fire managers at the drop of a hat and it took Chelsea to five league titles and a couple of Champions Leagues. Zero thought was given to sentiment when the likes of Roberto Di Matteo were obviously not good enough, despite him winning one of those Champions League trophies. He was given his hefty compensation package and sent on his way. They've since gone through a laughing stock period of their own, but it didn't last for over a decade and seems to be over already. There are still zero signs of the United laughing stock era ending.
There's nothing virtuous or smart about giving failed managers too long at the helm. Anyone with half a brain could see Ten Hag was out of his depth last season. Yet he's still here, and we have people feigning shock that nothing has changed. Madness.
Ten Hag simply has to go obviously, but the timing will once again be atrocious. He just bought half his Ajax side (which beggars belief to let happen anyway). Good luck offloading them again for the next guy in charge. In Ten Hag's case, he should've just been sacked after last season. He finished fecking 8th. How do you back him for another window.
And Chelsea's succes came because they unlocked an unlimited funds cheat, not because they brilliantly sacked all their managers.
