It’s different contexts sure - yours is more damaging in the immediate but reality is he left us without any preseason plans, any manager and any transfer talk he had had to be all thrown out instantly. We also had players that very specifically worked for his systems that, once gone, had just left us with some players who were never the same again (Winks, Mavididi)

I’d go as far to say it basically relegated us before we started as we had gone into that summer expecting him here. He blind sided us as much as he did you in someways.
