Carlos created a team out of next to nothing, uncovered free talent and improved several players dramatically. He knew he was about to have players sold from underneath him - for FFS Forest were really offering bargain basement cash and it was still enough. To have continued the same level of success he would have had to succeed a second time with exactly the same trick - the money coming in was obviously not going to be spent on an influx of talent. Had he stayed all he could do was prove he could do the same thing twice, that it wasn't dumb luck. And it took two years first time, would you even have given him a second season if he'd finished fourteenth this round?

Olympiacos are a big deal. The club's following is huge. It has a massive membership in both Piraeus and Athens, one of the continent's biggest. Lovely place. nice climate. Win the Greek League and you have a CV that will take you all over Europe. Compare that with winning promotion at Huddersfield and facing the Premier League without sufficient investment. Despise him for taking a better job, but Carlos can't be blamed for the fact that Huddersfield is Huddersfield. The choice he had was looking like a rat, or staying and being prey to the patience or lack of it of the English footballing public and bosses not coming in strong on Trustpilot.
