Well, we both agree he’s been underperforming. So on that point the difference is only a matter of degree.

You believe the cause of this has been his arrogance and stubbornness. I would counter that both traits are essential in a successful manager and without them we’d very likely be doing even worse.

So I maintain, we are more alligned than you may like to think.

The difference between those positions is hardly negligible.

We are one of the top 10 richest clubs in the world, we are 5th in our domestic league, we are 1 point ahead of Watford, 2 points ahead of Newcastle and 3 points ahead of Burnley, we are 9 points behind the league leaders after 9 games, using linear extrapolation this would lead to us ending up 38 points behind the league leaders, we have not meaningfully challenged for the PL or CL in almost 10 years.

Explain to me how this is 'OK'. Now, you see, this is the way a logical argument/discussion is conducted.
