I'm sure we will hear many rumors in the coming weeks and months about what and when things went wrong for Ole and the team. It doesn't hurt to speculate, though.
- It looked like a happy clubhouse overall last year and we got decent results with 2nd and a final. The three changes from last year to this year were Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo. Did Ronaldo upset the balance of roles? Did he get special treatment? Did Cavani's, a seemingly popular player, change of roles affect the locker room? Did Ronaldo lead a revolt because he was unhappy with Ole?
- Did Ole's favoritism finally catch up to him? Players see who is playing and training well and if the manager does not start or give more playing time to deserving players that can eat at a team from within. Players also see who is not playing and training well and if they start match after match that is even worse.
- Was it the Young Boys match that convinced a number of players that Ole wasn't tactically competent enough to take us to the next level? What is it an accumulation of tactical mistakes?
- Was it some personnel issues that turned some players against Ole? Did he not treat some with enough respect?
- Why is our defense this season so much worse than last season? It's the same defense and defensive midfielders except for Varane playing a little and yet we have become very leaky.
