« This might just be the beginning of the end, you can’t get pumped like that, have a performance like this and not think or talk about it
« It was a crystal clear performance. He’ll go at some point but whoever comes next will have the same issues
« Jose left with similar problems I don’t think the club itself supports the manager at all
