I do think burnout was a large part of why he lost the team, the article on the athletic that came out after his firing had people saying if they had won the cl final he would have likely quit and taken a break away from the game, and after they lost he didn't even fly back with the team.
I hope if it happens there's a much clearer breakdown of responsibilities between himself, and Steve Hitchen along with the whole technical scouting department on identifying targets
Plus that there is an agreement he gets backed in the window, and is allowed to sell off a bunch of players even if it's at less than levy thinks he should get.
The one benefit is that most of the players that did come in the last few windows were ones he wants, lo celso, ndombele, sessegnon, and bergwjin specifically, who should be part of the core going forward.
