We seem to have the same thoughts about Paris Saint Germain. Is it the fault of the management? Yes, I would say so, because they have access to make things better or worse for Paris Saint Germain. I don't see the assertiveness of the management to make this club the best it can be. They have the money, they have the star players, they also have the ability to bring in other star players, but they can't make the club go in a better direction.  I think they need to do a massive overhaul and rebuild the club from the ground up.
However, with PSG's current condition where the players cannot be blamed because looking at the players they have, PSG should be able to do something better but in the last few matches we know that they are struggling to get full points with players who are actually far above average.
This is clearly a management error where they cannot give a good performance even though they are supported by several high-quality players. But this is PSG where they have a luxurious squad but not very good management and this has not happened once or twice but has happened in the last few seasons.
Overall, everyone involved in the club is responsible for PSG performance, the only difference is the big and small role played by each person in it. It is true that PSG has all the attributes needed to make things go according to expectations, but luck has not yet come to them and bad luck has not left them. Squad changes and a change of coach have been carried out, it looks like PSG is still in the process stage so it will take some time to return to its impressive performance.

Luis Enrique must try to find the best way out, as soon as possible. Sharp criticism will continue to flow if PSG has not shown signs of revival, something that is very normal to receive if it often makes fans disappointed.

PSG has everything except for a sufficiently competitive league. When we have a look at Champions League winners from the past and what their competitive environment was throughout the year, I think the chances for PSG to win it is the lowest as they are amassing superstars which then have only a few games in which they are maximally challenged. This season I think the Champions League dream is almost over after the devastating loss against Newcastle. They are still in the game of course due to their win against Borussia Dortmund, but the team didn't look strong enough such that I would think they could also beat the best teams in the competition.
The weakness of teams like Psg-Monaco-Marseille in general is that they are in a league like Ligue 1 where there is a rigid defense. In a league like the Premier League, where the game is constantly flowing, the team in form is challenging every team and the quality of the league is very important. This is why the French have not been successful in Europe. Their league is very static and even the bottom teams in the premier league are very strong. The Spanish solve it with technique. Italians solve it with rationality and defense from time to time. But in France there is no clear football culture. It's always been like this. Both when Lyon embargoed the league and when PSG embargoed it. Monaco should be congratulated, they were successful in their time.
