The trouble is that with every twist and crazy, rushed decision, any decent managers who may need a year or so to get their squad together will be put off. Guardiola seems like the sort of guy who would not wish to be sacked after a few bad games, why would he choose us over a more stable equivalent. It is however and extremely attractive option for anyone wishing to make a fast buck. Sign a three contract, have a bad run and a massive pay-off for failing, far better than sticking out the three years for the same money. AVB has now got a job and a fat bank balance (RM, Ancellotti, Hiddink, Ranieri, Avram, Scolari have all got fat bank balances from us and decent jobs also because many others don't see them as complete failure, RDM will be joining them shortly).
God knows what we've paid out over the last 1o years in signing on fees, wages and pay-offs but I'll bet it's cleared a few mortgages.
