Levy will have to pull the trigger before the last game it would be a circus

Of course there's a point in sacking him. We want to get back to winning games and to do that you need players who enjoy their work. We are clearly in a death spiral now and the players don't believe in what they are doing anymore. The intensity in our play is non-existent. If we want to avoid 20+ defeats in the league we need to make a change right now. The fans do not deserve to endure more of this diabolical football.
Do you really want Ange doing the lap of appreciation at the last home game when we are in 17th place? It would be one of the most bizarre scenes in the history of football.
Pretty much every manager since the turn of the century has dug in and waited for the sack.
There's nothing unique about it. These "men" will take a club down before they resign and walk away from a payout.
I would say chairmen need to be wiser to this and have clauses in there stating the team needs to maintain a certain level for the coach to get sacked and paid out.
But then I'd bet most coaches would walk out of the interview laughing.
Football is fucked.

Well said. Reason number 987 as to why modern football is shit.
Everybody thinks coming to Spurs is bad for a manager's career but I could think of several million reasons why they will be queueing at the door for any PL club.
He certainly turned things around at the second half of the season with Chelsea.Pochettino was by our standards successful.
Since then he has won a Championship, and would I think taken Chelsea to top four spot this season.
I would have loved to have seen him come back
The Europa is extremely winnable, but more than likely not with Ange in charge.
Can't believe Levy is willing to risk/sabotage having a fair crack at it (actually i can) whilst keeping these predictable failing tactics in place.
It would certainly bring happy feelings, but could he succeed without investment? The whole reason for it all ending last time was the lack of investment. Would it be different? Would he secure assurances of investment from Levy? Would they be worth anything?Pochettino was by our standards successful.

Gonna be like teaching toddlers to walk for whoever is tasked with rehabilitating this squad following Ange.Whoever replaces AngeLOSS is likely to experience the opposite trend, in that I reckon someone like Glasner or Iraola might start slowly. We'll see progress from around the midway point of the season.
The issue they face of course is fans are so downbeat they may not warm to that at all.
AND there's gonna be Angebois who will try to claim it was never his fault at that stage.
I think you might be conflating things a little, Sigurdsson was the one that came in and was seen as the VDV replacement.From memory Moutinho had agreed to join us but the transfer paperwork 'mysteriously' messed up, leaving the deal scuppered and apparently AVB livid.
Dempsey was AVB's choice to replace VDV. Not a great decision. As in he told VDV he wasn't wanted.
Shows how badly Levy and co’s standards have dropped when you remember that they sacked AVB when we were 7th in the league in December of whatever year it was.
remarkable that on balance they’ve always gone early with sackings, but yet this time they are way too late, baffling.
Fillet steak and pedigree chum.
CL is worth more than the non football revenues combinedWith other revenues coming into the club our league position is not as important as it was back then to levy . Of course he’d like to be higher but it’s not a necessity.
I fully expect a statement saying that due to our league position we won’t be adding much to the squad , there’s always an excuse.
