Assuming he's correct about the salary table (which considering the errors about Tielemans and Mendy...), he does make a very fair point about quite what an achievement the last two seasons have been, and also shows that this season we're only about where we should be - which is before taking into account all those injuries.
I'd not heard this suggestion that Brendan might take over from Pep, but I can also imagine causing issues around focus whether we like it or not. Maybe that'll happen, in which case I hope we squeeze every bit of compensation out of them. But if it doesn't, and someone else is appointed or he commits to a long contract, maybe we'll then see an improvement too.
I thought we played very well today and were unlucky to not win, nevermind to lose. The team seems a little more settled and, while some individual performances have been not near good enough, the team mostly seems to be fighting for him and each other. I'm still on team Keep Him and this has handily re-enforced that, but I wouldn't grumble if he were to get someone in specifically to work on set pieces.
