Because so far, any manager who's been there, and they've been very, very different profiles.
We've had Tuchel there.

Pochettino nothing really unites them if you think about it and in terms of the playing style and so on and their profile but none of them have been able to make this work and have fallen out with the the hierarchy in one way or the other or fallen foul of poor results so I think it's a really really difficult job for that reason and if you're an up-and-coming manager or indeed a very experienced manager I think you have to be very very careful before you go there

And I think there is some truth in that.
But at the same time,
PSG having to play those games in between big Champions League games of course helps everyone else and that makes the league more excitable and more open so I think they really should probably use this slightly sort of extreme outcome to reconsider this rule because first of all it's supposed to be both clubs agreeing and that hasn't really quite happened this year this year it was like PSG wanting it and then the other clubs saying no but then the league saying fine PSG have a
