If you’re going to audit the manager fairly, you look at his whole tenure. You have to take the good as well as the bad. It must also consider mitigating factors. Sounds like the audit will also consider ETH and his interactions with players and staff around training and his methods and planning.
Its not as simple as the team is poor, or you lost a game so you’re sacked.
I really don’t think this is the foregone conclusion many hope, it’s about benchmarking a starting point to measure future success against and is more about aligning INEOS and ten hag moving forward. I still believe there is a strong possibility that Erik takes us into next season.
