When Chelsea sacked Graham Potter in April, he left Stamford Bridge with the joint-lowest points-per-game return (1.27) of any Stamford Bridge manager in charge of 20+ Premier League games: not exactly the last job on a resume that screams 'next Manchester United manager'. More transfer chaos plus Mauricio Pochettino's struggles this term lend weight to the argument that Chelsea, like United, are in a problem position regardless of whoever is in the dugout. Ten Hag boasts a better win percentage (60.47%) than every permanent United manager since Ferguson, and has already delivered silverware with the Carabao Cup. Ratcliffe is looking to overhaul the sporting department at United, so there will be far more oversight of transfers going forward. There is a famous quote from the film: "Your goal shouldn't be to buy players; your goal should be to buy wins."
