Cant believe im reading this from a City fan.
I've backed Ole for a long time, and while you do write some sense, it seems hes lost the dressing room completely and there is simply no coming back from that. Also, we wont finish top 4 if we keep this up. Hell, we'd be lucky to qualify for the Conference league at this point
We’re 9 games in with 29 left to play, so there’s time enough for Ole to get you ticking again but I recon that any top manager coming in would demand structural changes and a pot of spending money to make it into a project that they feel they’ll be able to enhance their reputation with.
That’s why I think an observers role, followed by the managers role at the end of this season, would a good move.
Your new brush will want to sweep clean but there’s no sweeping to be done until the summer window.
I think maybe 3 or 4 out (DeGea, Ronaldo, Pogba and Matic?) + say 2 midfield grafters brought in to run hard all game every game, and a sweeper keeper, so that you can modernise your style of play.
Your new manager will bring his own coaching staff and in a top quality and proven director of football (rather than someone’s old mate) goes without saying.
