From the outside you look and think "trophy so sacking is madness" but if we'd have binned Brendan after the FA Cup win, the long term gains could have been much better.
Spurs won EL with a terrible own goal. If United pip them to it, Ange is gone the next day.
It's not great but makes sense. He walks away going "won a trophy, can't please everyone" and they get a clean slate with UCL and a new manager.
