Saw something the other day saying rashford, Casemiro, and Bruno between them take 1 million a week.It’s just classic top club - and most failing clubs for that matter - mentality. It’s a hell of a lot cheaper to change the coach and his team than it is to change an entire squad of uninterested, underpaid and overrated footballers. Or be Chelsea and do both
Look at Spurs: they’ve had 15 head coaches (12 permanent) since they’ve won anything - which was a League Cup in 2007-2008 under Juande Ramos, himself considered a failure. Sometimes a club is just rotten with a losing mentality, no matter how much they spend or whatever top head coach they bring in.
Look at Mourinho, did a FANTASTIC job at Manchester United with a poor, aging side. Won trophies, got them in the Top 4 somehow. But no, not good enough for them despite his overachievement. Similar story at Spurs, watch the documentary - EVERYTHING he said was absolutely true.
So yeah, go ahead, sack the coach. Again. Have a little boost and another false dawn. Then watch as this new miracle head coach fails to get a tune out of a completely overrated and uninterested Rashford, Sancho, Maguire et al, as they quietly collect their approximate £800k p/w between them.
