Makes no difference who we bring if Levycunt is still calling all the shots, especially in the transfer market

It obviously makes a difference - otherwise there would be no change in performances between Sherwood, Pochettino, Mourinho, etc - there quite obviously was a difference.
We failed under all of those to win anything while the snake meddled in DoF matters which are evidently beyond his ability.
He had the best young manager and failed to back him up in 18 - any new manager would work under the same ridiculous conditions unless a proper scouting /DOF structure is established and he steps aside from ALL football related matters - and sticks to what he does best - turn profit

Is his blueprint a clear improvement over Mussolini’s? No doubt.
Will he be a success here if our structure remains the same and he doesn’t have access to a similarly run operation to the one at Ajax? I highly doubt it.
He’s basically at the mercy of our incompetent organisation, no matter how much cash gets thrown at it.
I do laugh at remembering back in 2003-05 the majority of Spurs fans, and the UK footy punditocracy, scoffed at Levy wanting to implement a DOF structure.
“How can a manager be a manager without buying his players?”

Anyone else running away with a shit league we've heard mentioned besides $tevie G. and this guy?
I think ten Hag and Potter would be eaten alive by our clown show of a boardroom. Its why we desperately need a DOF.
People are dead serious when they see us turning up with a winks /sissoko CM and expecting to win finals...
Here’s what will happen if things don’t change: for 18 months to 2 years they’ll give us a much improved structure plus buy themselves time by integrating young players.
Then in January/summer 2023 when they ask for the funds/support to kick on...

So will we be calling him ETH for short?

We've just got the wrong people making the purchases.
He will have to be allowed to make his own choices
No Eric the Egghead has already been chosen !
I’d might send my file saves to levy and I’m gonna be hired. Even on football manager levy is a cunt. After winning the league he gave me a 15M transfer kit with like 200M on the bank
Ajax fan from Amsterdam here. He's quality. Nothing like Frank de Boer was at Ajax.
Ten Hag is also not a typical Ajax coach. He never played for them and was schooled under Pep at Bayern. He made his name at Utrecht and was considered a gamble and 'not an Ajax manager' when he was hired. Too pragmatic and without the needed flair. He made his critics eat their words by turning Ajax into an attacking machine that took over Europe, while also instilling a defensive discipline and aggression that Ajax had lacked for a long time. He's also profession with the media.
Of course every hire from the Eredivisie remains a gamble. But Ten Hag at least should not be seen as a risk due to him coming from Ajax - he is a modern, flexible, pragmatic, attacking manager.
Don't expect Poch's charm and personality though, he is more rigid and serious.

You agree that the manager makes a difference though, thanks.
Much appreciated. At the point after the bullshit that was Jose Mourinho I couldn’t care less if he was as serious as a physics professor in interviews long as the football was decent.
Not at all in terms of the long-term objective
I think that this is something people say about most Dutch coaches right? That you are a rather "blunt" and straightforward people for a lack of a better word. You say what you think and don't tend to sugar coat it. Maybe it is a bit of a stereotype.
As long as it doesn't reach Koeman levels it probably shouldn't be an issue.
