Nothing stop us from following a football politic like Liverpool. Just that we don’t don’t employ the right persons at the right functions.4th place just isn’t a realistic target for the ENIC project as conceived.
There are now four clubs who are financed with the legitimate aim of being the best club on earth and all of them have better squads than us and are investing to improve them.
Honestly I’m not sure how anyone breaks the emergent Big Four. It would take a very high level of funding and football sophistication and we have neither.
I can’t see a manager like Conte at Everton
Not if it means staying at BrightonWe will be lucky to get Potter at this rate. He keeps getting pushed down the list. When Levy eventually has to offer him the job because his other choices have turned him down, Potter might tell us to sod off.
I'd have said the same of Ancelotti.
Disagree. Agree that ENIC is actively shooting itself in the foot by being short sighted, and that makes top 4 an increasingly difficult goal to achieve. But not impossible. There's too many hiccups in a season to create that level of certainty. See leicster winning the league, Liverpool dropping this season dramatically from their prior 3 years of form, etc. Even the champions only had 86 or whatever points, a historically low level points total.4th place just isn’t a realistic target for the ENIC project as conceived.

Depending on what else is on offerI'd have said the same of Ancelotti.
Carte blanche and money to burn might tempt him, or anyone really
Probably because he believes Pochettino can get us top 4 riches on a loose change budget again.Why the fuck Levy is still fucking about with a manager who won us fuck all is beyond comprehension.
Time runs out eventually. You can't keep waiting.
The way this is playing out I'd be happy with Sean Dyche. I think he would be an inspirational appointment and ticks all the boxes.
I've decided to place my trust in you for a few hours. Sure you're right and I can't take it any more! Will come back tomorrow. You always seemed like a good egg to me.
If it is him so has Levy
I agree. Small time appointment and we beat this fella 9-1.
It can't be... we were supposed to get word of the new manager really soon. If Martinez won't respond until after the Euros, then surely that means we never would have known for weeks. We were told that it would happen within 10 days... So can't be Martinez. Belgian journalist is waffling!
I mean I would give him my full backing and would be happy to be proven wrong but if he manages spurs next season or any season then I think we are going backwards as a club!
