In the end you go for "poor baby" patronizing.

So let's go back to the start and hear your comment on the topic
Milliner says Breen is not bringing the results he was hired for but (at the end of the year) they will only consider changing the lineup if they can get a clear title contender (which none are available).
To me there is a contradiction in his words:
They are not happy with Breen yet he basically says they won't do anything about it.
Note that Milliner himself said two weeks ago that they were "looking for ways to get another experienced driver" to support Breen. (clear title contender wouldn't really support Breen, rather take over his job).
The more honest way to sum up the last two MSport stories is that MSport were looking for someone to support Breen without using own money and failed.
Could be that drivers which could do that (Loeb, Mikkelsen, Suninen, Meeke, Østberg) don't see why they should use/bring own money to help MSport instead of actually getting paid elsewhere (Loeb at Prodrive, Mikkelsen and Meeke at Skoda and Suninen at Hyundai).
It could also be said that as long as Loeb drops by every few rallies and shows the speed of the Puma, they don't really need good results from Breen that much.
As Antti points out, this situation is a far cry from pre-season predictions and hopes from both people here and a lot of rally jurnos. For fun I checked the 2022 Crystal ball thread. Almost half of the predictions have a Breen rally win and some 1/3 have him WDC and/or MSport manu champ.
