Great piece, but I feel like saying Nagelsmann didn't get any looks with the implication that he's in international football due to a lack of options/quality (even though Spurs and a couple of other big clubs wanted him last summer, and his sacking was pretty widely reported to be for primarily non-football reasons) is inaccurate.
Bayern are literally trying to get him back after Tuchel ended up doing worse with the same squad (actually, a better one). He's shown through consistent results and adaptability throughout his career that he's among the top crop of coaches in terms of impact.
Great article! Just a question - you've stated previously on X that you don't rate ETH as a good manager. Does that mean you think a bad manager can more significantly influence their team's performance compared to a good manager? If even an average manager could get more out of the current squad, should we look to replace ETH over the summer, even if the potential to sign new players is significantly limited? After all, CL qualification is essential as far as FFP is concerned, Sir Jim Ratcliffe said so himself.
Lastly I'd just like to point out a typo in the text body - the line "Some higher ups left the club but also, you can also find so many Mane’s, Adam Lallana’s, Luke Shaw’s, and Van Dijk’s before hitting an inevitable dry spell" should read "you can only find so many..."
