How is Jose supposed to end 13 years of losing mentality in a year ? He still didn’t have a full season. Why the media said Lampard, Arteta, Ole, guardiola, all needed time. Klopp losing to Burnley and Brighton is not even talked about. But people want him gone already ? I am saying let him finish his contract and see what happen. Worst thing can happen is we are still trophyless after his full stint which isn't problem at all as we have already used to it.

Jesus Christ man.
Do you really think the fact we weren’t able to come to an agreement quickly for Wijnaldum was Pochettinos doing? Or the money we did or didn’t pay for transfers? Pochettino was the coach, he had nothing to do with finances.
But to continue as we are might see us lose our premiership status at this rate in the future.
With all due respect this is bonkers. Harry was good for us but things have move on.
A clear difference between Jose and the managers you’ve mentioned is the shite football we play.
You aren't going to get every transfer right though. Nobody cares about Liverpool not getting Keita and Oxlade-Chamberlain right. City and Chelsea have had numerous bad deals. Poch got a lot more right than he got wrong otherwise our improvement under him wouldn't have been what it was.
Yes we should have bought Ricardo Pereira instead of Aurier (that's not hindsight talking), but Davinson and Lucas looked like excellent acquisitions in their first 12-18 months.
What status mate ? Big six ? Is that so important to held on ?
That's an opinion , but even the managers you've mentioned played dross football occasionally as well , they are still being given time and money. Levy ain't fool , sacking jose will cost him 20m and there is no guarantee his replacement can do better anyway, rather stick it out and see what happen
He told us this himself. I am just the coach, I am not the manager.
And Jose also backed it up when talking about Bergwijn.
And AVB, love him or hate him, said exactly the same regarding the magnificent 7
I'm gonna throw a name out there just for the hell of it.
We won't get him. He is unproven in the PL. But I've always been a huge admirer of his management.
If you want to go back to a young, English or UK based squad that plays good football then Steve Cooper is up there. The job would be perhaps to big for him to come to us. He is an unknown but he's got Swansea top of the championship. Won England the U17 World Cup.
If Swansea come up I'll be looking very keenly on how he gets on with them in the PL.

Could be a live real live audition for Jose's replacement at 3pm this afternoon.

And Poch also backed it up when talking about Sissoko.
“Daniel probably thought ‘maybe Mauricio can get him playing well.’” Were his words, or something to that effect. And this comment was made before Sissoko had made an appearance for us, so it’s not like it was an arse covering exercise from Poch.
Sissoko was 100% not a player Pochettino actively wanted the club to sign. Yet he is constantly used as a stick to beat him with, with the usual “but Poch spent 30 million on Sissoko.”
It just boggles the mind.

desperately clinging on to the idea Jose is a mastermind with talent and a winning mentality
Face it buddy, he's a chequebook manager and nothing else. He's not even the best at that. At least Pep's teams attack.

The "car washers" stoop to new levels every day to protect their man. It's now bordering on obscene.

I really don’t think Poch had much control over who we sign. Levy is too much of a control freak to let Poch do what he wants.
Isn't rangnick free I'd get him in now and sort this mess out with nagelsmann booked in the summer. Rangnick then becomes our dof
I won’t even be following football in 18 months at this rate. Fans will stop watching if this keeps up. It’s torture.
And if you honestly think the worst thing that can happen is still being trophyless, then you don’t understand much. The players will lose 18 months of opportunity to learn real football from a different manager. The culture will be toxic for 18 more months.
No one will sign extensions for this. And the only way they would agree to one would be a gross overpay meaning we are stuck in Woolwich’s situation. Players will just run out their contracts. We will have to replace them but won’t have a huge budget. This manager hasn’t shown he can win on a budget for 17 years.

The real problem is people like you who try very hard to make Poch look blameless - he was not. You dont spend club record amounts on Sissoko and Sanchez and get to walk away spotless.
Levy has his faults but so also did Poch (more so in the absence of a sporting director). Each of them contributed their share to the problem.
The quote by WIjnaldum, referenced his discussion with Poch not Levy i.e. he didnt feel the same level of enthusiasm he got from Liverpool when he spoke to Poch
No it isn’t. Stop putting previous reputation over current performance. If things don’t look to be developing well they just aren’t.
this is the logic that made people want to give Soldado until the end of the earth but write a young Harry Kane off as the 2nd coming of Lee Barnard
But Liverpool didnot get it wrong with Both VVD and Alisson. Sissoko and Sanchez never looked like they were worth the club record fees paid.
When a manager gets it wrong with two consecutive club record signings, people should not be surprised when the person signing the cheques tightens his grip on the wallet
Seems you are one of those that live in an alternate reality
