There was a bit of discussion around this in the New Year thread.
If he goes, I'd wish him well and thank him for the job he's done under tough conditions in turbulent times.
Valencia is a big club, his local club and if his wiki page is to be believed, where he played as a youth. So I can see the attraction.
However, as I said in the New Year Thread, I'd be far less disappointed about it now than if he'd been poached in the summer, based on what we've served up this season.
Despite us recently returning to winning ways, I think this season's football has become a bit long in the tooth. For me, we're not going up or down, so it's been a chance for us to attempt to transform our playing style and play something a bit more entertaining. Sadly, I'm not sure Carlos could give us that as his style seems quite rigid.
So I wouldn't shed any tears if he left.
That said, we could do a lot worse than Carlos. So we do need to hope Shilen and the Bilkul group know what they're doing when replacing him.
If they do a good job, maybe we'll see a return to better football while pocketing a few million to help steady the ship. Time will tell, but he will leave with my blessing if he goes.
