nah not they they know better or wad.
they banking in on the 1st 2 season cure. after Moyes n van Gaal they wanted a quick fix.
and i kept saying this, there was ample time to judge Jose till end of the season before giving him the new contract.
if they were unsure of Jose delivering den why scared to lose him to PSG?
Being kiasu I suppose, scared to lose JM cos they don't see any other similar calibre manager available at that time. All the teams with good managers are doing well so they are afraid they can't get a capable replacement if JM were to suddenly leave. That shows how much they trust JM himself in wanting to stay at the club for the long haul. They didn't trust him, so the only way is to tie him down.
At that point it was still mathematically possible for us to win 3 trophies. They probably were looking into his past history of winning the league in his first 2 seasons as well and were banking on that. Especially after we got Sanchez. Nvm what happen in the 3rd year. Let's just show him that we trust he can do the job in 2 seasons.
That plan backfired. They put their eggs in that basket, it didn't work out and the only backup they have is not to spend so much in summer to lessen the damage. At least now if they were to sack him, they will still have the funds to back whoever the new manager wants to bring in instead of telling the new guy sorry you just have to make do with JMs flops that he purchased.
