This outcome was entirely predictable. As soon as he signed the contract extension (thereby inflating the size of any pay off) back in January the die was cast.
The same pattern as elsewhere. Piss off the players through scapegoating (Shaw, Pogba); become belligerent and antagonistic with the media (“ respect, respect, respect”); clashes with the authorities (swear at camera); erratic behaviour (water bottle smash)........cause form to if not nosedive like at Chelsea at least plateau at a level of mediocrity until future revenue streams became threatened because CL qualification starts to dwindle into the far distance........
Same old, same old.
I hope we never see him back in English management again. Unless it is at Liverpool.
