Yet despite the many hit and miss managers during the vast majority of this period under ENIC we've actually improved year on year on the pitch.
Perhaps not year on year but over time, despite the non-linear path every club takes, we’ve made clear improvement.
Anyone who says we haven’t improved considerably on the pitch since Enic took over is so deluded they aren’t worth talking to. Or 15.
Good point, actually made the same point here before, the club have been in 13 semi finals in the ENIC era, we've managed to win 1 trophy.
Clearly that tells you we've had the teams to win more than once, maybe people ought to look at the problem lower down as opposed to owners...
Yes, instead of looking at the owners, we should look at the people who the owners have consistently appointed.
Employees can fuck up?Yes, instead of looking at the owners, we should look at the people who the owners have consistently appointed.
If the people you've appointed fuck up that consistently for 20 years to the point where they've only been able to bring home a singular trophy, the one with the lowest value in top flight English football, then the people doing the employing should probably have a look in the mirror.
I think there’s enough successes in there, notably Jol, rednapp, Poch and conte. Thats great appointments for well over half the time.
OG poster used Sherwood as an example of bad hiring. He’s definitely <20.
Think it's too early to include Conte. Love the guy, love the early signs but hasn't had even half a season yet. We're loving life now but only semi recently he was talking about how he needed to talk to the club because he wasn't sure if he was the man to fix things.
We've had a few solid ones, and quite a few total duds. Following Jose up with Nuno after deciding against Gattusso was magnificent levels of incompetence. Then wanting Poch back having barely just sacked them was a delicious cherry on top of the fuck up cake.
Agree jose and nuno were bad appointments.
Taking conte out doesn’t materially affect the fact that well over half the time we’ve had great managers. Take 6 months off the numerator and denominator and they’ve still got a great track record.
What. Like 13 in a row?
Maybe there's nothing wrong with all these managers ability to do their job. Perhaps its the lack of backing and support they receive that's the real problem.?
Saha and Nelson for Redknapp in the midst of a title race.
One and a half year self imposed transfer embargo for Pochetinno after dragging his under invested squad into the top 4
3rd choice cheap alternatives like Rodon offered to Mourinho.
All of these guys are perfectly capable. It's having their hands tied by owners who's only motivation is the balance sheet and long term profit on their investment and fulfilling their stated ambition of landing an NFL franchise as they weigh the club down with debt.
Shocking, awful owners.
The fans of any other big 6 Club would be horrified at the prospect of an ENIC takeover
Is there a possibility of Enic buying a top 6 club?
I need to stop coming into this thread. I’m starting to think the same perpetual arguments are a wind up by the same posters on a monthly basis as a joke between themselves.
22 years is plenty of time to sort out the issues from the mid nineties
Jol stepped up after Santini walked over broken promises , was not a well thought out strategic appointment . Redknapp he lucked out , he was a save us from relegation hire. Conte was a the fans are revolting , better throw useless Nuno under the bus hire
Of the names mentioned only Poch was a strategic planned hire in the way a top notch CEO should operate

I think we need to put some clamps on these goalposts in case they get moved again
I agree with that apart from the santini bit, I have no recollection of broken promises. His was a ridiculous appointment btw after the Trappatoni affair. I’m surprised more is not made of that by the anti Levy mob
Since 2007? They've been in charge since 01.
76% is surprising though, always thought it would be more but I just think that people like to make noise and moan for the sake of moaning when it comes to ENIC because its trendy.
Interesting that the avg league position has gone up (it would have been greater if they included the data from 01) yet people are telling me we haven't improved under their tenure, cool.
No. But you at least agree with my point.
Fans would be outraged at the prospect of 20 odd years of failure
