It's mystifying.
What message will we send to managers if we sack the guy who ran the gauntlet to win us something, for some bloke whose qualification is that he's good at treading water in the Premier League?
The message is, 4th-6th place will save you. Winning something will not.
Why would we then expect *anyone* to try to do what Postecoglou did, ever again? They'll just tread water in the league, because it keeps them safe.
Postecoglou gave us the moment we have been begging for, for 17 fudging years. And we'd bin him for someone like Iraola, who's at best a marginally better version of him, without the trophy?
Yes, league form needs to improve. No question. But there is such a thing as soul in football. We found ours after 17 years in the wilderness. For those who want a change, don't be so quick to throw it away again.
