I don’t think any manager even Pep or Klopp could sort this team over a period, perhaps for season or 2 and the problems will reappear. Issue is the morons responsible for the recruitment of players, the overpriced contracts offered to mediocre players and having a clear structural plan. Man City have installed World class people and look at their recruitment over the years. Even Kevin Phillips won’t be a loss to them and will be sold for a profit after 2 season of fk all playing time and they likely took that into account. Hopefully Ratcliffe sees this and makes a change as a fresh overhaul is required which is why a full takeover would have been the best thing but wasn’t to be.
