Levy In or Levy Out

I have absolutely no doubt that would be the dream result for Levy. The football club has been the necessary vehicle to achieve his and ENIC's greater goal. But now little more than the bit of shit he can't kick off his shoe with those pesky customers chanting Levy out when they get frustrated.
However, it's difficult to see any serious buyers being interested in such a scenario.
A bit like buying a Rolls Royce with no engine.
Yes, but look across to the East of London and see what’s going on at West Ham. They too own nothing and are happy ( copyright Klaus Swabb ). That is, I suspect, where this ends up
 
Yeah. To an extent he certainly did. He lost Bentancer to injury and in March it was confirmed Kane would be sold ( Bayern talks were going on the previous summer too ).

If he stayed and was perhaps more considered it might not have blown up so bad.
When he left , we were 4th

We were on a death slide and the players hated him. He’d already started slagging off the club as well.
No he was sacked before the season ended.

Yeah but it’s not like he gave the club any choice. He refused to show up for work.
 
Still not sure Conte said any word about the club that was not 100% correct.
The funny thing is, when Conte was appointed all the Levy supporters told us to shut the fuck up because if he wasn't backed he would call Levy out.

18 months later he calls Levy out for his losing mentality ("20 years there is the owner, they win nothing. Why?) After not being backed........And the same people turn on Conte and back Levy!

So true.
 
Stellini

Mason for a couple games?

Either way Conte was a total fucking disaster
30 points were still available between Wiggy walking and the end. 3 more points from either Stelini or Mason and the team finished 6th and in Europa. Fine margins. But then 11 points out of 30 is pretty piss poor ( would have been relegation level form @ 1.1 points per game )

He got us to 4th in his first part season after taking over from Nuno, and we were 4th the next season when he departed, we sank further down after he left.

I don't see how Conte himself was a ''disaster''. The fans were singing his name most games.

That's all there is to it.
Also, when Conte was appointed fans expectations were understandably raised. He was, after all, a proven winner and a fiery character who lit the touch paper of optimism.

He was, as we all know, and probably knew at the time if we're being honest with ourselves, never going to realise our high expectations working for Levy.

Hence the subsequent appointment of a dour, ageing journeyman with a CV boasting only success in various minor leagues and our expectations are given a total reset so that Europa League qualification and early cup knock outs are considered a successful season.

He's a smart man, is Daniel Levy

This is why, in spite of any reservations, we should support Ange. The clock has run out for levy in my eyes. If he sacks another manager after so many years/managers/squads/rebuilds then he’s refusing to accept it’s him/his methods/his company that are failing the club.
Post Poch it’s been a shitshow front to back. Divisive managers who Get fired and replaced by their apprentices.
We all bought into the “winner manager, can’t fail” idea which didn’t materialise. And ended up with trainees filling in at the back end of the seasons.
I’ve seen enough of Ange to have a lot of faith. He had an already thin squad stripped to the bone and whilst I think this constant playing out from the back is madness at times, it’s his way.
In my view, we can’t keep blaming the manager and instead have to focus on the people who employ the manager. If levy has got it wrong again, the straw that breaks the camels back has landed on its hump.
How many wrong choices of manager can we allow? The common denominator has to show itself at some point.

I agree with a lot of your post. Most of it, really. In fact Nuno and Sherwood aside, I've been supportive of every one of our managers until the day they were sacked..
I just loath the low expectations and acceptance of mediocrity that this latest incarnation seems to have installed within the club.

I agree we can't keep blaming the manager. Hell man, I've been banging that drum for years. I just know that if / when Ange gets the bullet, Levy will get a free pass again as he moves on to his next scapegoat.
