Well we do so there's that.

Again, I don't think Levy can check his ego enough to let someone like Rangnick in the door because he doesn't take this job without a great deal of control and would pull a Bielsa and just quit if Levy tried to go back on it.
Yep.

Unless he’s been told he’s failed, his last appointment was a disaster, and now pick someone who can improve us whilst also helping us develop players to sell for significant profits.

I’d be happy to see him have a go. We’re such a daft club, it would be nice to go for someone who is understated and calm.
 
Bild are saying Rangnick has been offered the job, that's all. Let's see what he has to say to the offer

After chasing Rodgers, Marsch, Ten Hag and God knows who else Levy has ended up with offering the job to Rangnick
 
Another way of putting it, after cold-bloodedly sacking Poch and Jose Mourinho in a two-year period, with total uncertainty about the club's finances due to Covid and the dominance of the stadium on our books, and no way of knowing whether we're able to keep (or able to sell at the expected prices) our two global megastars who hold all of the weight in the dressing room and are synonymous with the club at this point, there is just no way the club can credibly say "THIS GUY has our absolute support and control of a five-year project".

What project? The very basic building blocks of any project are in total flux, and no player, agent, sponsor, media member, or fan is going to believe a word of Levy stepping into the background until they see it, least of all for some random German guy only soccer hipsters have ever heard of. He just sacked the most successful manager of this century a week before a cup final for fucks sake.

Even if Levy means it, and truly, sincerely gives over control of Tottenham's football operation to Ralf Rangnick, the "project" doesn't start for at least a year-plus as the cloud of uncertainty lifts.

Slight feeling Rangnick could lead to a disastrous power struggle with Levy. If he's embraced in the right way it could be our key to competing at the top of the league again. I'd be all for it, maybe he manages for a while and helps appoint the next coach? Exciting link.

I actually think the businessmen in Levy and the old fart would be open to the idea. He continually finds diamonds in the rough and sells them for a pretty profit. That seems to be right up their investment strategy.
