No fucking idea but I suspect Mourinho must've said/done something to make Levy sack him.
A League Cup is near-worthless for a club competing for a Champions League spot.

A League Cup is near-worthless for a club competing for a Champions League spot.
He doesn’t. He has a clear system that needs certain types of players, it’s like hiring Pep and asking him to play more direct. You either get him the players that work for his system or you don’t get him and we miss at least 4 players for the starting XI that make his team work.
This was known from the start, all of these things where said when we hired him. Conte is just being Conte, he isn’t suddenly going to play 4231 Poch system. If we are going to be a mess squad wise then we need to hire managers who are more felaxible, issue is these managers who are good with average players don’t tend to win things, ie Redknapp.
All of this is on the club not understanding what managers and what players go together and pairing them correctly. We don’t think long term football wise and the last 4-5 years show that. We will get a new manager and this will repeat again and again.
So basically people are saying that he should leave because ENIC won't back him, which is the saddest part.
He should save himself with his reputation in tact. It's pointless for him to continue here, for Conte's sake. We'll never win anything with the cunts in charge of the club.

Took a Chav team that was the best in the league but had fallen out with Mourinho back to the top of the league. Then ruined them with shit expensive signing after shit expensive signing
The Premier League has moved on since he left chelsea in 2018, younger and more progressive managers like Arteta and Howe are now more likely to be successful than Conte, their football much more pleasing on the eye as well.
It's not that complex with conte. Our midfield is shit. That's the engine of the team and conte neglected that in summer. Has to go.
a good manager would adapt until he has what he wants. hes also had better players at the club to play his little system, hes stuck with emerson, hes stuck with a useless son (even dropping fucking kulu for him before)...these are massive footballer errors. if hes that rigid and cant adapt like a fucking human being then might as well get a computer to be the manager and just run it off statistics.
hes got it so wrong its like hes trying to make a point, thats childish and it looks like its cost the club top 4. it might take us 10 years to get back now due to the situation with 6 other clubs in the league.
He doesn't give a shit. We need to hire a young and hungry with a point to prove manager instead of a man who's won nearly everything and doesn't give a fuck about the club. Levy's also shit but he isn't on the sidelines and making us have only 2 shots on target at home vs Villa.
wow ummm ok mate.
Funny, I'm getting a sense of deja-vu
Again though we would have the same issue with Pep or Klopp. Elite managers in the modern game don’t tend to compromise, they expect the club to provide and we don’t so why did we hire Conte.
Big name to take the heat off the Nuno hire criticism
He is also obsessively wedded to his wingback system, which leaves us constantly outmanned and overrun in midfield. Football evolves, Conte (seemingly) does not, and other managers know that we can be beaten by going straight through the middle.
League Cup winners automatically qualify for the Europa Conference League.
I told you all. I told you! You didn't listen!
Dinosaur Manager, one after another after another.
Bring home Poch!

This line is annoying me now. Conte has had Bentancur, Kulusevski, Bissouma, Perisic and Richarlison bought for him and a few others beside. He’s had plenty of financial backing over last 12 months. He’s just not this ‘elite coach’ that he’s touted as and he was a completely wrong fit for us from Day 1.
Levy and Paratici should fall on their swords too.
theres no way pep would of been this bad and played such technical stinkers week in week out when theres better players on the bench.
the problem we have is where do we go from here? theres no obvious replacement like before. potter would of been the one i suppose but hes obviously been taken. so fuck knows
His system cannot be so intransigent that it can't cope with a few injuries or not signing exactly the player he wants. Any manager, at whatever level, has to work with what he has and get the best from them. Improve them.
Exactly but you hire Conte you spend 300-400m, you get Skrinair, you get Gardivol, you get Dumfries, you get elite players who suit his system and overpay if needed to fight for the title. As others on the forum have said we didn’t have to go that route Ten Hag and Potter where available and we could have gone a different way.
