Yeah, a good one.
We're 15th FFS, Levy used to sack managers for 'only' finishing 5th.
If they want him to stay then back him, it's pretty obvious we need to strengthen the squad.

To be fair Rich, it’s hard to disagree with it.
No more dinosaur managers like Mourinho, we should aim at new blood.
Can ange really be enjoying job? Getting beat every week, abuse, taking on fans and media every game. Thing is hes not been hung out to dry. Most of it his own making.
We are in a fucking relegation battle, nobody ever asked Levy to stick with a manager in a relegation battle.
Unprecedented levels of failure and it is gross incompetence to not rid of us the reason for that failure.
And boomerang throwing...
Naaah, the squad that played yesterday was more than enough to beat Leicester, and probably is good enough to at least compete with most teams outside the top 6. We have a manager issue, and he should be sacked asap, giving opportunity to someone that can use our players to their strenghts and has some tactical awareness.
Levy sticks by a manager who got him into a relegation battle but sacked a manager who got him 4 consecutive Champions League qualifications, two title challenges and a Champions League final.
Why does Levy do these things?
What is the common theme that motivates these decisions?
Poch had us 2nd and into a CL final. Emery took Villa from relegation to the Champions League. Eddie Howe took Bournemouth up 4 divisions, and Newcastle from relegation favourites to top 4. The right manager can do a lot. Winning something major under this ownership isn't unfathomable, it just requires them lucking out on the right manager. Which they've done about three times in 20 years so I don't hold out much faith in it.
Why isn’t Ange considered a dinosaur?
He’s sixty and never won anything of note. People think he’s some hip cool kid because his style of football is so fucking stupid, everyone else drops it by their mid-20s.
He’s little more than a glorified 5 aside manager.
Man, I just truly do not understand this perspective.
He's a football coach who is stubborn about playing open, aggressive tactics. It's really not that dramatic.
So has Ange Postecoglou.
Why didn't he call out the others?
Weak as piss management.
Ange clearly ain’t that man though!
Whatever will allow him to extract world-leading ticket prices from the fans without spending anywhere near commensurate money on players.
That always has and always will be the Levy mission. The exact particulars of it evolve as the game does.
Right now he's turning over a new leaf and playing make-believe that Ange is his Arteta.
Come into my office...
Ange would have done beter with the profile of winger his teams attacking play depends on.
He may have failed at some point, for other reasons, even if he had been given his preferred options.
The real issue with Ange is that he was probably just glad to get the job and has complied with Levy's instructions.
The treatment of Spence and the fact that Archie Gray has to play every game suggest that Levy attempts to dictate team selection with weaker managers who will be more compliant.
Spence is clearly the best full back at the club but to protect Porro's value he has been excluded from Ange's team selections until Spurs were desperate.
I suspect that Gray being played out of position is also due to a clause in his contract that he has to play games or he can be sold for what Levy paid.
Ange is a big boy.
He got the gig because he would probably do as he was told to by Levy.
The clues are there if you are looking for them.
"What's up Skippy? Ange has fallen down a mine shaft? Well fucking leave him there! MATE!!"
