The rags with Radcliffe sticking his two penny in are no different to how they were with just the Glazers in charge. They could have shut all the speculation down about Ten Hag immediately after the cup final, instead they tried to convince Tuchel to be boss to no avail. It looks like there’s no one about who they can immediately offer the rag job out too.
If it’s winning an FA cup that’s saved him by playing two banks of five against a City team that had been on the piss prior to the cup final they seem to have forgotten what happened the rest of the season. This is the manager that hung Jadon Sancho out to dry sensing him to train alone which resulted in a loan move where he ended up in the champions league final.
Players like Maguire and McTominay were wanted to be sold by him early on in the season but ended up being their best performing players. This at the same time where his actual signings flopped, not one single player he has brought to the club can claim to have had a good season last term.
Then you look at their European campaign where they finished bottom of the group with the likes of Copenhagen and Galatasaray giving them a battering.
Then in the league they finished 8th with a minus goal difference, their worse finish in 30 odd years. Am I missing something here, is this progress and there’s even talk of him getting a new contract on top of that. Winning the FA cup is not a barometer for success, Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rodgers didn’t go on to win Premier League when they won it.
