I will use last night's game as a barometer for how serious Ineos is, and it will be interesting to contrast the importance of club structure and ownership watching the fortunes of United vs Chelsea over the next couple or seasons.
Last night's game, while good to watch, is clearly what neither of these clubs aspire to be. The advantage Ineos have is that they haven't had their investment yet, whereas Boehly has spent an insane sum of money on players that right now look like they could get them to Top 4 challengers, at best.
I think for Poch, it's still a matter of when and not if he gets the sack. Same for EtH. A win for either manager last night was just going to buy them an extra few foot of rope.
