But at the same time i still wonder if ownership really wants to win. They've got to know the ship is on the wrong course, why not try to correct it.

A bench coach should be the manager's confidant - someone he trusts to provide honest info. How can Manuel lean on someone like that when he knows they were brought to serve as his replacement? Omar actually did the right thing by giving Manuel a staff he can work with and succeed with, instead of planning for Manuel's failure.
