It’s usually what happens in American sports but the media is much different here.Ah the famous "vote of confidence".

I hate most things America but British media is a very low level.
Probably not a realistic thought anyway - just something I threw out there.
Solanke could work out. People being far too negative on him
Yes but there's a reason it's called the "dreaded vote of confidence".
The fact Levy would need to say it at all would be an acknowledgement that we are indeed far away from Tip Top Tottenham
There's not a really fair way to compare the 2. Poch joined a club that had a 36k seat stadium, had been in the CL once, was only 6 years into a trophyless spell, pre-Pep, Pre-Klopp.
Or winning the League cup with Fraser “Timberrrrr” Forster saving a pen and scoring the winner in the final
"Pathetic little weasel" again? Somebody get this guy a thesaurus and an education so he can use it, and maybe then he won't be such a boring, pointless, fathead fuckwit thundercunt who has never added a single thing of worth to the forum, or indeed to life in general.
Incidentally, a cursory glance at our post histories would indicate that I understand a fuckton more about football than yourself, not that that is some particular boast. How does that feel? Knowing that a pathetic little weasel is your football superior, a sport which you've watched but not been able to understand beyond a kick, kick, goal level for your entire life? The answer you're looking for is: Ashamed. You should be ashamed and you should apologise to us all for it. You've shamed your nation. Stick to croquet in future you wanksock.
Don’t think Everton can afford to sack Dyche
We can slag off Ange all we like but there is a common denominator as to why all our managers underperform. Levy.
Until ENIC sell up the most we can hope for is to be 'the best of the rest'. For Levy this means Champions League football is the priority at the expense of possible trophies.

Anyone who follows their favorite person from club to club is not a football fan for me and they annoy the fucking shit out of me. Pick a team and stick to it. They will (mostly) be there forever. Players and coaches grow old and retire.
Ange has been proving people in pathetic pub leagues wrong to some degree.
Everywhere he's been though, he has lost every game against quality opposition. And the comments there are the same as here "aaaah but they played well, they had chances, they might have won another day"
How many times does that happen before people realise it's not bad luck he loses those games. Quality teams just counter his system without much effort.
Fuck that. I'm staying and I'll transition to being a Levy fan. And when he goes I'll be a Ben Davies fanboy, who will outlast us all.This cunt will still be here, as a Spurs fan, long after you and Ange are gone.
I will say some thing that annoys me the most and he doesn't seems to notice.
Son and Johnson as wingers. They are not meant for that role when we play a possession football like we play, we need players with flair, like Odobert or even Kulusevski, that can beat a man on his own, have good control and good passing.
Fullbacks playing in midfield. WTF is that? Ok, I can consider this thing, but all the time the midfield is congested with players that weren't meant to be there and offers fucking nothing, most of the time.
Maddison dropping too deep to receive the ball. While our fullback are playing in the 10 role, Maddison is playing between the centre-back most of the time, why? We have other players that can do that in Bissouma or Bentancur and if Maddison drops too deep we lose our most creative player upfront.
The fucking high line. We don't give a fuck about defending and even with some of the best defenders in the world we keep conceding every fucking game, we keep on being countered time and time again and there's nothing we can do.

Yes and no.
In some cases it's because Levy didn't give them the tools.
In others it's because Levy hired morons.
It’s a shit system though with glaring weaknesses. He has perfect CB’s for it and in Porro the perfect RB - yet we concede at an alarming rate
Admittedly the attack is awful in this system.
But do we get a manager who adapts the system to suit the players - as crazy as that sounds
Also here are my suggestions. If we want to play this way, we need creative players, Johnson should be dropped asap, he creates nothing and barely can control the ball most of the time. Put a midfielder of Bentancur and Bissouma. Maddison, Bergvall and Kulusevski further and Son as a false 9. Most of these players can exchange positions during the game, creating confusion in the defense and most important, bar Son, all of them have a very good ball control, that will diminish the chances of us giving the ball away and conceding counters to the opposition. We can't fucking play with Son and Johnson in the wings, is so fucking predicatable and boring, it's too easy to defend.
We will know by Saturday, either our lads will come out all guns blazing or it will be a drab draw, surly interview and him having to get a result in Manchester to save his skin - which he wont
No. They are choosing the last 75% of a 100% sample size because the first 25% has a lot less weight. It is obvious that teams adjusted to us after that surprisingly great start and the myriad of concerning stats confirm this e.g. We kept 4 clean sheets in our 1st 10 league games and then 4 in our next 32.
You can’t point to anything actually tangible in your backing of Ange, apart from the fact you hated Jose and Conte and that you just don’t want to sack him. Nobody WANTS to sack him but many people are responding to the facts of our form and a team that is continually struggling to defend whilst looking increasingly more impotent in the final 3rd.
It's very worrying and how ppl like yourselves don't share (at least) some of that concern is absolutely baffling (if it's actually genuine....)
nah all 17 of the guys who have taken charge of coaching since ENIC have been here have been clueless/dinosaurs/naïve/tactically inept/stubborn/out of their depth/cunts
Levy is an innocent in all this, Ange out, next scapegoat in
Pre-pep, Klopp, Wenger on the decline, pre-Newcastle buy-out, pre-the kinds of money we are seeing now. Yes, he had it much easier - pleased you agree.
