You are creating your own history here, I didn't said these things at all.
Concerning this, it's down to the manager AND the players, they don't look interested and don't give anything on the pitch, that's very concerning.
He knows the board very well. I doubt he wants to come back and live the same situation Gerrard lived, not being backed on the transfer market and being sacked few months later.
I don't even remember the last time I saw our players press and run like this to be honest. (0:48)
We need to find the right manager, and players who want to work hard and run, play for the badge. Looks like it's too much to ask.
