Of course not. Just like I'm sure your'e not suggesting 20 years and counting of missed opportunities and sacked managers can't just be down to a poor performance against Fulham.
Or are you?
Let’s see....20 years ago we didn’t miss many opportunities to be honest. We actually went from mid table to regular EL football in about three seasons, thanks to the Jol years.
Like then, our fan base had decided we were somehow a massive club and Jol needed to go now and he’d taken us as far as he could.
He was fired. Many fans thought the manner he was fired was despicable but the decision was correct.
We appointed one of Europe’s most sought after and presently successful managers.
He won us a trophy.
Then we appointed Arry in order to stop the rot. He took us to 4th. 8 years from Levys arrival, we were in the CL.
Then the fans wanted Arrys head. We’d “outgrown him”.
Levy gave the fans AVB and they were delighted.
It went to shit, and he gave us Poch.
The fans loved him and still do.
Then it went to shit and he hired one of the most successful managers in the history of the game.
The story here seems to be that Levy gave the fans what they wanted in most cases, then after deciding in hindsight it wasn’t very good, they feel Levy should walk.
