ENIC

I actually think some of what ENIC are now saying and doing in terms of loosening the wage structure is actually very important and over a long enough time periods is going to start to bear fruit. I think Levy’s time had come and he was holding us back. I also think whoever it was in the Lewis side who decided to go all out to get De Zerbi deserves some fairly big credit.

That said, heads need to roll for the appointment of Frank and the decision to stick with him. It was a complete and utter disaster that very nearly ended in catastrophe.

I actually see the logic when you look at what this league now is. It’s set pieces, it’s direct play, it’s VAR, and it sucks. But teams still need to be able to press and have a plan to play out from the back. And managers still need to have some level of charisma. Frank was found massively wanting tactically and had none of the core leadership attributes to be successful with us. An utterly disastrous appointment.

The owners also seriously need to sort out the injury situation. Because it is also ridiculous. 2 years in a row to suffer an unprecedented crisis…how does it even happen? It’s mad.

Overall I think that they have much of the right diagnosis of what needs to happen to move the club on. But until the De Zerbi appointment they had made not one single good footballing decision. And it’s going to take some to earn trust back for their leadership.
