Because people want to cling to the hope that one day sports will again be primarily about sport itself, and not treat everything as a pure business decision. But if they get relegated, you can easily see them totally falling off the face of the earth once they lose all their top players. So not an easy decision to fire the man who brought you the greatest glory, but if he got them relegated he'd be fired anyway and they'd be in a potential free fall. Also agree they waited longer than they probably should have, it was clear he lost the players a while ago.
