We absolutely did fall apart after he left. We won 4 straight domestic doubles before he left and have cratered since, and as I said, going by the evidence of what he has done at Inter, and how he managed to rebuild us after 2015 final into a finalist again with an entirely different team just two years later, he would have reloaded us again if we had kept on with him instead of signing Ronaldo and going all-in on Tici’s shitty unbalanced strategy.
No one here is saying he was perfect and didn’t some annoying shit, make some mistakes. But on the whole, he built a top level squad and kept us there for the entire time he was here. And now he’s done the same with an Inter that was in shambles when he got there.
