Exactly.
One manager took the Bibotelli's and Lambert's of the world (Plan B,C,D,E >Z).
The other wouldn't budge from plan A.
Moral to the story: FSG, brewery, piss-up.
Spot on.
2 managers taking differing stances on FSG not being fit for purpose.
One got a mishmash squad of whatever he was given.
The other had a No1 or nothing approach, which sees us constantly left with nothing.
Let's not pretend any of this is on players or managers. Maybe everyone can see that now.
Brendan was flawed.
Jürgen is flawed.
Keep taking the best players away and any manager will struggle.
I hope we keep Coutinho.
Only because we've proven our inability to replace him this window even though there seem to be quality players available.
Either way I think he's gone by next summer. Hard to blame the players. Mane will be next and is probably the one Barcelona should have gone for.
