Surprised so many are criticizing the decision. They finished the season well but it doesn't change the fact that they were absolute crap for 90% of it.
I'm not sure they were as crap as we have been making out though. As I posted a few days ago. If you ignore the first 6 games and take the table from matchday 7, they obtained the 4th most points in the league.
Obviously within that period they looked crap and he was failing to solve some problems like Enzo but the last 5-10 games they really started to look like a cohesive side which had something to build on in the summer and make a solid push for top 4 next season.
I think it probably does come down to an owner - manager breakdown in terms of transfer control, similar to De Zerbi and Bloom at Brighton.
