Enzo - would you have him back?

No for the following reasons.

 

1 - Already proven disloyal. 

2 - He contributed to our current problems with the style of play, Ruud has a similar ideology and the results show it for what it is.

 

To all the people voting yes, we would be where Southampton are if Enzo stayed with us.  Why do people keep putting style of play ahead of results and goals.  Why are people still worshipping him?

The disloyal bit seems a bit harsh. Which manager wouldn't have left for Chelsea, especially after what happened with Sensi in the Jan window? We were absolutely flying before that and the board dropped the ball again. It almost cost us promotion. He wasn't happy that he wasn't backed and felt he had been mislead. I'm sure he would have signed much better players than Skipp, Ayew, DCR and Edouard and would have probably kept us up. There are some valid criticisms about the style of play and results in the 2nd half of the season but the way the board acted in Jan should be taken into account.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Chelsea tapped him up before promotion was confirmed hence the drop off near the end

I think a large part of our drop off in the 2nd half of the season was down to a drop off in intensity, which was largely due to not having enough central midfield options, KDH and Ndidi were both running on fumes and playing with knocks and the remaining options were pretty limited. Losing Casadei and not bringing in at least one midfielder to offer up genuine opportunities to rotate coincided with our poor run. 
 

yes we had the a very expensively assembled squad from previous years but our recruitment focus was still flawed in not securing a midfielder to offer fresh impetus and options. In January we exited the window weaker in a critical position then we had entered the month and it had a significant impact on our momentum.

We would have been where Southampton are as trying to play tippy tappy without a billion pound squad is suicidal in the EPL.  He also wouldnt be signing players, thats Rudkin's job, the sensi shenanigans should remind you of that.

Enzo style of play is 'so last season'. Time to get someone that can get the best out the players. Not the system.

Is Amir Acle available. ?
