My conspiracy theory:

- I wonder if Levy hasn't signed anyone because he knows the way we're going might mean Ange is sacked soon, so he's not spending any money on helping the side for that reason, and will sack Ange in February to save himself spending any more money in Jan. Would be typical of him.

At this point I am not putting this past Levy anymore :D

And if you add that he could throw in Mason as interim coach then he can also say that he trusts the guy who know club inside out and can get out of the existing group of players etc... :D would be anything but surprising.

I am fully on Ange Out boat but more than that I am in Levy out boat. He is good with some part of financial management, but in terms of anything that touches managerial part and playing staff and planning the squad, we are an absolute amateur club.
 
Is it normal for the club not to tweet anything for 18 hours?

Nothing at all since the Maddison post match interview.....

I mean we are nearly at Monday lunchtime and there's been no social media activity at all....
 
Out of curiosity I looked at what is officially our worst season since 1882 - the relegation year of 76-77.

Then, as now, we had some really good results against top teams. Beat 4 of the top 6, and a draw off another. Only one doubled us. But our form against so called crap teams was diabolical. Losses at home to Bristol City, Coventry. Conceding 8 at Derby (who were shite) and 5 at Spam (ditto).

Finished bottom of the table, no injury crisis. Could keep clean sheets. And 3 trophies previous 5 years.

We are 1-0 up in a Cup SF against the best team in Europe as evidence it can happen

1-0 up from the home leg. Do you really think we're gonna get anything at Anfield? Far better managers than Ange have tried and failed numerous times against far worse managers than Slot and far worse Liverpool teams than this at Anfield and failed time and time again. If we can keep the scoreline respectable that's the absolute most we can hope for, I would be willing to bet £100 we go out of the league cup in 90 mins.

Sticking with ange and buying two players shows we tried to back our manager, which makes us a little more appealing for the next mug

This - I think this is what worries Levy the most, after the way we have treated managers since Poch I'd be surprised if anyone wants to come here, if we stick with Ange till the summer it at least shows we are going to allow a manager a couple of seasons before sacking them.

League and cup form are overwhelmingly correlated. Have a look at the winners of leagues and cups over the past 20 years if you want some evidence on that.

Maybe the last 10 years.

Go back 10 years before that Boro, Spurs, Birmingham and Swansea all won the league cup while having poor league campaigns. 2004- 2013
Highest finish Swansea. 9th.
Spurs and Boro 11th.
Birmingham got relegated!!

Uh oh!!
