I’m not saying it’s a definitive breakdown, but he didn’t take kindly to the heavy criticism he received following the Europa League exit; I think the club needs to sort something out. In the past, even after defeats, he would speak to journalists with a smile and in a relaxed atmosphere; today he won but didn’t turn up…”.
