He obviously still watches us, love him so much. The way he got shafted still winds me up and was a huge mistake by Levy.
We already know that if Levy/ENIC are bringing in the manager that it will be the worst option and that the person will not sanctiom any of the players that arrive and that the likeky failure will be down to Levy/ENIC going deliberately for the worst option and asking to be involved in the on-pitch tactics.
The best manager to get will be the one we don't get or the one that succeeds elsewhere.
Oh and let's not forget that unless whoever the manager is gets players who cost 300 million plus (in total) they can't possibly be expected to add any value.
And if they do somehow and against all odds, get to a final and lose, that's down to Levy/ENIC.
All in all, quite easy.

Deliberately vague comment to cover all bases.
Septic Peg at "her" best
You're misreading.
Why assume anything? This fucking negative fanbase I swear to god!

You do realise this fanbase supports Tottenham Hotspur right.
Is that why Sissoko always aimed at the roof?
The one reason why Real might not go for JN at this point is probably the Bayern debacle. How he handled the players and board at a big club might be a red flag for them. He could very well end there at some point, but probably after he "matures" a bit.
I'm hoping the fact that Nagelsmann don't speak Spanish will help but at the same time I'm not sure how much of a problem that would be.
I think at a lot of the big clubs like Real the quality of players are so high it’s not about the tactics as much as handling the big egos. Look at Zidane or Ancelotti, the play style is loose, RM players have alot of freedom and the reason is obvious, they are so good you can let them go. Redknapp did that with Modric, you trust them becuase of the supreme quality.
Naglesmann and Poch for that matter are all about constructing a team greater than the sum of its parts where the managers ideas take precedence. Perhaps that is a bit restrictive when it comes to the truly elite players.
Is suppose the counter arguement is Pep and Messi.

Would make absolute no sense at all.
Catch 22 again,
If reports were true then Levy wanted Poch back when he was at PSG and unavailable, now he is out of work and we are out of a Manager, yet nothing doing...
Shows quite clearly the fickle mindset and reactive nature of our key decision maker, rather than have a defined plan and stick to it through the difficult moments, his head gets turned like a magpie spotting something shiny.
The longer they stick around the more it becomes clear to me that our success under Levy/Enic has come from striking lucky at exactly the right time, rather than a long term grand masterplan.
Most I'm sure just vote the once to see results and don't bother changing thereafter.
Which is why Levy might consider it.
I do not doubt Levy will consider it even though you are joking.
Big name, 'shows ambition', out of contract, might get Kane to sign. Can see with their twisted logic why they'd be all over someone like Zidane. The fact he's completely unsuitable and would probably last less time than Nuno wont bother their non football minds.
