This will also be an issue.
Remember how Leicester City sacked Ranieri, the season after they'd won the league.
If they'd got in Guardiola or Ancelotti who had won their first title, I doubt they would have sacked him even if they'd been in the same position that next season as they were with Ranieri. It was easy to think "well, coulda been a fluke", which is probably why Price doesn't get enough recognition for the CC win at this point.
Maybe if we win the GF next season, that CC win will start to take on more significance, and people would say...ok took over a team that had been in the bottom 8s, first year 2 finals, second year CC win, third year disappointment but pandemic, fourth year GF win....not bad.
But equally this all feels like rather strange speculation its a bit like me musing on whether if I get my missus pregnant next year, I would stick with her if I could upgrade to a 21 year old model. Even though my criteria for deciding would be well thought through she would probably just get stroppy about the whole concept.
