How is it relative?
The strength of the opposition is absolutely relevant when it comes to assessing how much credit a manager should get for a cup run.
For context, PSV’s cup run that season saw them beat a second division side in the QFs and a third division side in the semis. They beat Ajax in the final on penalties.
It is concerning to say the least that someone who admitted to having no interest in the game as recently as two years ago is apparently using his own football judgment to decide on transfer policy.
