The holy trinity 68
The disparager
That assumes that Ten Hag was the only problem. That is incorrect, in my view. He was a major part, but the factors that led to him failing were quite similar to those that led to previous managers failing, and they're rooted in the kind of environment we create for new managers as a club.
Imagine being a CEO who is hiring a series of people to work for you in your company, giving them what you think are the best tools, and when they keep failing you keep firing and replacing them.
At some point the shareholders above you should realize it's not the people you're hiring or the tools you're giving them, it's you. It's time to change CEOs. In our case, it's continued even into a new CEO for the first firing of their tenure.
One can only hope they hire better.
But since Ratcliffe bought part of the club, everything has changed except the manager. All the stuff before Ratcliffe and the failings are not related. As the club set up was completely different.
