Is winning really the ultimate goal?

Ironically, if their manager hadn't been such an ideologue and set out more pragmatically, they very likely could have gotten the simple result that would have effectively won the title for them. Instead of owning it, it's evade and blame. Somebody else's fault. As usual.
