His selling point for staying was to carry on and build in the spirit of the FA cup final, so any assessment should start from that… Juventus had a very similar issue, they won Italian cup as well with a strong display, yet the manager AND almost all the starting eleven has been sacked. My point is: a different manager will need an entire restock of the squad, which is going to cost a fortune and one half if you do not have a very very able sporting director.
Edit: there is the FFP constraint as well: if current players cannot be sold, new players cannot be added… that being the case, keeping the current manager is the obvious/only path forward.
