Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
There's a real ceiling in the PL these days. Villa have wildly overperformed and Emery deserves credit but if you look at West Ham in 9th and then the clubs below, which of the others in that top 8 could you realistically expect any of the bottom 12 to finish above?
City, Arsenal, Lpool, Spurs, Chelsea, United, Newcastle.
This is the trouble when you get the Brighton (or similar) job. An absolutely exceptional season would be 8th, 10th/11th would be decent and yet bizarrely anything below that is seen as a failure. There is such a low margin of error. I'm not really sure how tempting of a job it is

Been hankering for a move to a top club for ages so no surprise
As the Brighton owner said the other day, no one is bigger than the clubs long term model

If it was going to happen then I'd have encouraged moves to Liverpool or Bayern and get some compensation, not just leave him to leave on a free/pay him off.

Good manager but good football is not the case.

Talk about setting a rod for your own back - improving Darwin Nunez, even Ethan Hunt would not take that Mission.

I bet Burnley wished they've have just sacked him when they still had a chance of staying up

Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
While it would have been knee jerk had he been sacked 3/4 months ago I would have been far less surprised. The way this season ended I was convinced he had bought himself a bit of time.
