That's not the reason.

The thing is I just don't believe any serious manager is going to want to come and work under Levy in a relegation battle with 10+ players out.

Then I see some of you bigging up Iraola. Based on what? What's he done in his managerial career to warrant it? It's just we see a manager having a purple patch and we love the latest flavour of the month. And back to my previous point he probably wouldn't even want to come. Trade what fifth for a relegation battle?

If you get rid of Ange the chances are you aren't getting an Iraola the chances are you are getting a Mason until the end of the season or even worse a fucking Southgate.

He might just about hang on because of this and the fact they're in the cups.

Regarding managers coming in. I actually think Spurs are a more attractive club to join now rather than in the summer of 2023.

You don't have the prospect of Kane being sold under your watch or the reality of not seeing him properly replaced while being told to battle for a Champions League spot. Not a great sell.

Now it's getting close to rock bottom, there's a lot more scope and room to come in and get a rebuild going to at least produce something that looks like a football team.

And let's face it. Everyone knows about the trophy drought. Failing to win a trophy here is not going to be a mark on someone's resume. Whilst winning a trophy here is going to be a massive boost.

I can see some younger up and comers being hesitant. But we shouldn't have issues recruiting experienced, established managers.

If clubs like Valencia, AC Milan and Inter, all arguably bigger than us (except for maybe Valencia), and all three with histories of being banter clubs, can keep getting in new managers there's no reason that we cannot.

The only way that happens is if he has lost the dressing room which he hasn’t , we need change though and I’m confident Levy is putting the wheels in motion as we speak for the replacement to be lined up before Leicester.

I always think losing the dressing room is a bit of a myth. Apart from Chelsea, and maybe the end of Mourinho here and at Man Utd. Players don't actively think "fuck this bloke, let's get him out." I don't think. What happens mostly is that they think they're still trying their best but they're really not because they've just lost enthusiasm in the direction they're going in.

And that's how the first half looked to me.

Cool, so we keep Ange until he dies of old age, irrespective if we get relegated, and even if we never win another game ever.

Definitely not a cult...
 
Why I’ve changed my mind on ange is that for all his “it’s who we are “ bullshit what actually attacking do we do.?
How many times today did we whip in a cross or actually get into their box.i can’t remember Pickford doing fuck all.
It’s like conte style where we get to the final third and prick about with it for ever.
Every cunt passing to another cunt until we lose it.
We cannot defend and we are certainly not all out attack!!!

There is zero point wanting Ange out. It is Levy that needs to go. We need to break the cycle.

Ah yes, because removing owners is so easy. Just ask United fans how their crusade to get rid of the Glazers is going.

Also, "Levy out" is such a boring take. Everyone knows Levy isn't great, but it's irrelevant. It's like yelling at clouds. He's not going anywhere, get over it.

Finally, it's not like we've been shit the whole time Levy has been here. Regardless of how much was down to him, he did break us into the top 6 from lower-midtable, the only team to do that without oil-money billions, then almost won us the league and CL on a zero net spend under Poch. Built the stadium which is now raining money. All while the owners of Everton, Villa, Leeds etc were destroying their clubs.

For the record I don't like Levy. He's a real-estate developer who knows fuck all about football and lucked out on Poch and Redknapp. But to act like he's the biggest problem in the club right now is frankly delusional. All of you wishing for him to be gone have to point out which other owner you would take from the league. And then realise that in all likelihood we'd likely just get a Boehly or an oil state.
