Why? He’s doing a great job for them. Whether it’s him, Phelan, the GPC or Busby’s ghost there’s no denying the turnaround in such a short time is some achievement. Not just the results but the way they’re playing is probably the best they’ve been since the GPC retired.
Name anyone in football management who you think could’ve done the same job he’s done so far and there’d be some illustrious names on that list.
People kept saying “they’ve only beaten relegation fodder, wait until they play Spurs” then it was “Arsenal will do them” and it hasn’t happened yet. They will slip up eventually but they have surpassed what most people expected and looks like continuing beyond today.
If they carry on the way they have since Mourinho was sacked they will reach their target of top 4 and he will probably get the gig full time, I would say deservedly so.
I’m just glad he was brought in midway through a poor season for them. Imagine if he started last summer and got the same results he has so far, they’d be in the title race.
