Jeez the compensation is going to be massive when Conte is sacked. He went to court to get 23 mill from Chelsea when they fired him. I think he will top that in compo from Levy

So pros are the stadium and cons are the squad's standard and money available.
Why is anyone expecting things to be any fucking different again?
No, the best clubs back themselves. If we let Conte have 7 guys he wants, but then when he leaves we lose the 7 people with all the decisions and plans, then we have a much larger gap to fill going forward. The club does have a job to do in protecting itself against sudden changes. Continuity as a club does matter. You don't just roll over the lick the boots of the new coach. You are hiring a talented employee, but you are not giving them full control of the entire business.
What do you expect
Firstly the ultimate responsibility for failure always rests with the CEO
Secondly ENIC are the only constant in 20 years of footballing failure. Even if we give them a free pass first 5 years following Sugar that is 15 years
But generally with Management teams in football the whole team gets hired and fired. Spurs hiring Poyet and Freund as assistant managers did not work for their respective managers. Poyet in particular undermined Ramos.
What if your continuity is being a continuous disappointment?
Maybe something needs to finally fucking change behind the scenes.
If continuity matters you do not hire a manager like Conte who doesn't give a fuck about projects. You hire a Poch, a Ten Hag, a Potter, coaches who buy into a club philosophy and work within it. I really think Levy has some serious mental problems because his actions don't match his words.
It's not about Ledley. Do you know which 7 guys he means? Does he want a whole bunch of new medical staff? Do you want a whole bunch of new guys who don't know the players or their medical histories, and whose practices you don't know, playing with their health? Sounds great until someone gets a major injury due to unfamiliarity with their situation, or fails a drug test due to new steriods they weren't warned about.
Does he want a someone to control the Academy? And maybe steer all the kids to signing with his preferred agent? (Sam Allardyce's favourite habit)
We don't know exactly what the 7 people would be doing, so there is no point in assuming it's something we should want. The club does have a need and a right to ensure it retains control over certain things, regardless of the manager. We should have done more of that with Mourinho, given what has come out about his training and fitness habits.
Yeah,we need a big eff off grenade thrown into the club.Sick of same ol ,same ol.
20million per season is okay if we're going to be playing into the final stages of the CL etc etc regularly.
You're being very binary and trying to claim that everything is awful. If it was, we'd be relegated and have no good players. We're not. We have a board who made a very bad choice of managers and failed to make the correct long term plan and hire a sporting director. The whole club is not a disappointment.
Yes, and scouts, the whole house needs burning down and we need to start again!
this has.
LEVY. OMG Conte might come, I wasn’t expecting that uncle Joe .
LEWIS Well we need to find a way of falling apart you fucking idiot
written all over it
Just the cynic in me after years of they moved the goalpost bullshit
Right, i have off for my half hour tea break.if this isn't sorted by the time i get back, i will be emailing Daniel...
If you call this failure, you haven't been watching for very long. We narrowly missed out on a few big results under Pochettino. We hired a bad replacement, which is on the CEO, but to claim that everything is constant failure, given where we were 20 years ago compared to now, is just utter fiction.
| Stage | Prize Money |
|---|---|
| Winner | $23.2 million |
| Runner-up | $18.3 million |
| Semifinalists | $14.6 million |
| Quarterfinalists | $12.8 million |
| Round of 16 | $11.6 million |
| Group-stage wins | $3.3 million each |
| Group-stage draws | $1.1 million each |
| Group stage | $18.6 million |
We've basically won fuck all in the last 2 decades, despite masquerading as a big club and have went backwards.
Carry on.
Well the club aren't exactly backing themselves if they are expecting the guy to leave or things to go tits up? Why tf are they hiring him if they don't have faith in him to deliver.
Look at the Liverpool/Klopp example for a case study on how it should be done. Look at Daniel Levy for a case study on how it shouldn't.
