When you look at the succession planning when losing Vinny, Merlin, Sergio & maybe Yaya, you could say we’ve had some mixed results in terms of immediate success, but got their in the end by winning our title back in at least the following season.
The Yaya situation was ironed out by appointing Pep & a shift in playing style, Merlin was a case of utilising several players (maybe Jack is the air to the throne?) Ruben has been a success albeit a season too late, and Sergio’s replacement is looking more a last minute gamble.
And you could say the same applies to our previous managerial appointments, so maybe we should just trust the club, we ‘will’ get it right & a lot sooner than the rags or say a Barca, our model looks similar to Bayern (not a bad thing) as mentioned above Luis Enrique looks the best fit, it would be six months after a World Cup (fully rested & maybe inter-grated into the club) is a job swap for him & Pep that unrealistic? Either way this looks like Pep is timing this for after a World Cup where several top jobs will be in the offing, from a selfish point I hope it’s not England, his shadow would lurk heavily over the club should we not be immediately successful, you can imagine the press
