Haaland, Aquero & co had no issues in the PL. I used to hear that about foreign managers too, first 4 of Chelseas foreign managers won the PL in their first season . Let's not forget who took Sunderland up in their first season in charge.
You've seen the number of clubs in our division try that , basket cases like Reading, Shef Wed and Derby . chasing the " dream" has led to massive debt and in some cases relegation.
We needed to cash in on Vik with just 12 months left on his contact, us not getting promoted. He was too good for our level.Good for the club and player .
