They kept him only by default though. I’d have been worried if they handed him a brand new contract a day after the FA Cup win and we’re seeing what’s playing out now. It took them almost a whole month before deciding to activate the one year extension on his existing contract. Hardly the most ringing endorsement and that’s not even including all the stuff that happened in the buildup to the FA Cup Final.
ETH is just a placeholder as they decide who they actually want in. He’s pretty much the last football-related figure in power from the Glazer regime.
