I am not criticising Brendan at all.It has been an admirable run,to retain such focus and commitment.I am just wondering where he goes from here.Now even a domestic treble, with one defeat,is a regression from last year.
He has turned down offers from the likes of West Ham,suggesting he aspires to move to a bigger English club.But these clubs will be seeking managers with proven European pedigrees,which he has not come close to establishing.
I do think he needs to modify his beliefs in Europe to avoid heavy defeats.Parking the bus is the only option to avoid heavy defeats which are confidence sapping.Also I think he must gamble in the transfer window with a few defensive signings,rather than hesitate and try to fit square pegs (like Briton) into round holes.
