INEOS kept on a manager they had no faith in, openly canvassing Europe for his successor but then armed him with £200m to spend on players he wanted, and changed the backroom staff before sacking him anyway. They axed a sporting director, whose way of working was well established, because he did not fit in with how they wanted him to work. He warned them about selecting a head coach attached to a fixed style of play, which didn’t suit the squad and how expensive it would be to build a quality 3-4-3. They didn’t listen, insisted they believed wholeheartedly in Ruben Amorim’s approach, but then wouldn’t fully back it in the transfer market and asked him to change the tactical principles that attracted them to him. Some “best in class” decision-making…

@Tylershilton92 @MelissaReddy_ Same as we said in chat, that first 200m is with ETH But then absolute waffle about not backing Amorim, verbally backed a million times AND spent another 200m this summer, to watch us get worse Not a single game under Amorim have we look confident or even like there’s progress
