paolo's going nowhere soon, he'll only leave at the end of a season because of his massive emphasis on pre-season - which has been completely vindicated. there's no way he could stand having a group of players not able to meet his expectations from a fitness point of view. even then the right club would have to be in the market for him and if the worst does happen and he does leave then we'll be able to make the right (hopefully) appointment to replace him.
Completely agree. I'd also like to think he'll be more than aware that most clubs at a higher level are already bursting at the seams with players. Players that, for the most part, I think will be more complacent and used to being the boss.
When (or if!) he goes Paolo knows that he has to start again. Build a new team, be allowed to ship out at his will. Be allowed control in everything from top to bottom. The backing he's has here, is rare. Not just rare but the contractual situation within the squad was also ripe for a man like Paolo. He'll have real issues at a new club and won't have all his ducks in a row off the bat. The pressure, which we all know he thrives on, will be huge and after what he's built here, wouldn't exactly be inviting.
Obviously it's all speculation and confirmation bias, but I think most of it would prove true if the worst were to happen.
