Turns out he doesn't win every final
A fair point.
I never really had a problem with the actual amount spent tbh, just the recruitment and overall strategy.
Hopefully Levy actually understands the task at hand, he's hired a good coach that seems to fit what we want, but it will require work and it sounds like it will take a few windows to get going.
Maybe the fact that he hired Ange instead of going for someone like an Enrique despite being cheap and a big name shows a shift in strategy and an acceptance of where we are at as a club.
You mean someone prepared to be Levy's lap dog?
Happy to bend over the table and take whatever he's given?
Yeah. Sounds like a plan
Probably true but that just shows where we are. Rudderless, buying players for systems/styles they aren’t suited to.
It’s all arse about face, cart before the horse.
Decide on a long term way of playing > hire a DoF who fits that > get a manager/scouting team who fits that > get players suited to it.
Until we do this and behave like a modern club rather than reactionaries we will always be a mess, always rebuilding to nowhere.

With the best defence in the country he conceded 34 goals in 38 games.
With our defence....
His name is Angelos. My wife's name Angela but shortened to Ange which she is happy with.
If my name was Angelos I would consider its full spelling or Angelo maybe, but Ange would be the least appealing.
Unless he is using the Johnny Cash theory in the song a boy named Sue.
Seriously I wish him well and am looking forward to it.

The amount spent is one thing. Spreading it out over loads of average players instead of having the balls to go after elite talent when the squad needed it, that's one of the things that held us back.
When we have been good enough to add world class players and get over the edge, mysteriously something always happens and the deal can't get done. Always a totally understandable excuse but they still never get done.
Now the problem is the volume of players needed to fix the squad. Nobody is expecting a Boehly window so they can't all be world class players and we aren't in CL anyway so world class players aren't coming.
This range of player is much more of a comfort zone for Levy.
Shouldn’t be boring that’s for sure.
GK, LCB, & LB are the biggest weaknesses IMO.
Let’s sure up this defense and let the manager’s system get the best out of our attacking players
They have pretty much done the deal for MacAllister.
They will be picking up at least 2 more Mfs.
Coutinho raised them some money but surely you aren't saying that Mane for 30m paid for Darwin, Diaz, and Gakpo.
Sure they are better at selling players but that's a direct result of being better at buying them and having assets other clubs want.
Life ain’t easy
Not sure how I feel about being mentioned in the same sentence as that shitgibbon.That will be awesome
They could keepGOAT fully wound up during the ashes along with
pleb and
Art Vandelay
But yes happy for this appointment. A coach I actually like.
Will a front three of
Son Kane Kulu
Work with a 4-3-3 pressing murderball tactic?
I’d imagine he wants more pace on the right over kulusevski, son will need to find his bollocks again aswell or he’ll be out on his arse, Post isn’t scared to drop players or phase them out which is desperately what we need
A midfield of
Bent Skipp Bissouma/sarr
Seems solid enough for what he asks them to do
Then we get to defence which is an absolute nightmare
Udogie Dier Romero Porro
Replacing Dier with a footballer is incredibly important, Jury still out on Romero and porro for me, udogie a bit of an unknown
Obviously goalkeeper we need a new one that’s good with his feet
We need 5 signings minimum to play his football imo

I’m not saying selling Mane paid for those players no. I am saying they have history of selling their better / best players to fund squad rebuilding. Just like we would be doing if we sold Kane.
100% guaranteed now
Majority of the sales were forced by the player out of that list... Only Mane club led (torres was 15m+andy Carol)
Fuck sake so we need to wait another 70 years for a trophy then?
