Any one of a large number of managers could quite easily get this squad to a mid-table finish and a final in the league cup. The problem is that Puel has done it with torpid, negative football that fails to entertain or inspire.
But worse than that, is the fact that our reputation as a pocket Superclub , tucked in behind the big six, feeding a seemingly endless supply of talent into the upper echelons of European football is fast fading. This will make it harder for us to recruit rough diamonds this summer and next.
The other unpredictable variable in all this debate of course is the ownership question. I don't see Puel's fate being sealed until that is also settled One way or another first.
