I think the fact we haven't signed anyone bar Kinsky who represents an almost guaranteed return on investment given the size of the fee and his relative age and experience speaks volumes. I think Levy probably just doesn't like the optics of sacking Ange on the back of a narrow loss to Woolwich, anything but a resounding win vs Everton will see him gone and we may pull the trigger on a deal or two after that to make it look like we're backing the new man in or paving the way for his entry if he hasn't got someone lined up to come in immediately.
Realistically at this point even if we can't get an Iraola to leave Bournemouth til the summer surely Terzic would take the job on a decent contract, even if only for 18 months? If we were 8th and not far off pace for top 4 I would preach patience for Ange but being in relegation form at the business end of the season does not warrant fucking patience, it warrants action.
 
Yes probably unfair but as a journo it might be nice to cast a critical eye over board and manager sometimes rather than just regurgitate what he's told.
I mean, he always comes across well as a true fan in his videos. But professionally he relies on his contacts as the club, so he’s not gonna be frothing at the mouth. A beat writer’s job is to find the news at the club week on week, not write editorials on how he thinks it should be run.

It is simply amazing how anyone with eyes can watch the way we play and go we should keep this guy. No patterns of play no nothing and a PPG of 1.14 this season been absolutely shit for a year. The fact is they did not give Poch a chance to fix it when it went sour and he heard it but this Australian Fraud has been given so much time over his first 4 season Poch lost 29 games, Ange has lost 23 in a little over a season and a half.
 
Maybe any prospective buyers are waiting to see how badly we finish the season with the view that they might get a better price.
This is why some of the more hardcore ENIC/Levy haters have suggested a serious fall from grace for THFC may be the only way to get the parasites out.
Like some fantasy sci-fi movie where the host has to be medically dead for a few minutes to save the day.
 
Understanding that every manager has full backing until the moment he doesn’t -

If the board is convinced Ange is doing a good job, they really have no clue about running a football club. Not one. And the situation is thus hopeless.

What a sadness it is to support a club that doesn’t know how and why we got here or doesn’t think we can do any better.
