Is it over for my Norway maple?

Last year I posted pictures of the leaves on my Norway maple, it was identified as having tar spot. It had never had this before.
So when the leaves dropped I was very careful in making sure I got rid of all them from the ground.
This year, it hasn't leafed out. There is a tiny bit of green going on at the top, but it looks dead. This has never happened before either.
I thought tar spot was essentially harmless. I'm worried now that it was actually verticillium wilt, or maybe something else like a root issue.
There is a baby tree that has grown from the seed of this one, and it's absolutely fine. Full of healthy looking leaves.
Can anything be done or is it a lost cause?
Picture from last year, and now.

Despite living here a decade I'm only renting. So I think I'm off to search for a nice tree I can keep in a pot.
After ringing the tree man of course!
Hope your landlord/landlady contributes.
It is in the autumn when I will miss it the most. My favourite time of year because of the trees!
