Also the appointment gets announced for next season whilst the current one is still ongoing. Everyone knows what will be happening. Granted some of our targets may want to see where their current club finishes first but I like the speed and decisiveness of the appointment.

And Levy has always wanted that, or at least he thinks he has. But he has never given enough faith or operational control over to a DoF in order to allow that to blossom.
That's the comic irony in all of this. Daniel Levy would think Daniel Levy was a total idiot of a chairman if he could step outside himself.
That's fine.
Levy won't be here
The club had nowhere else to go because we wouldn't pay what Atalanta wanted for Castagne. Basically levy used the Mendes connection to get Doherty for a relatively cheap fee, everyone was surprised how we managed to buy a PL proven and experienced player for the fee we did.
If he 100% wanted Doherty why did he treat him like he did. It was a compromise signing, like the majority are for managers under Levy's stewardship.
We had them with Baldini and Commoli so he's tried that model. Going back to it might seem like a failure to him. He's a stubborn man so i'll be surprised if he does but i get the feeling he enjoys the all-encompassing role he's got. He's a control-freak.
I do hate how the media works. If we don't get Dyche, who is now on our list of targets according to them, does that mean we are failing here too?
I don't doubt that Nagglesmann was on our list, he was also on Chavs, Real Madrid's, Barca's & Bayerns to name but a few.
With Rodgers, I say it's probably accurate that he is on a list of ours but they way it's presented is Rodgers thinks Leicester is better than Spurs and who the fuck would ever go to Spurs???! Yet, I suspect the truth is Rodgers is well aware that the expectations on him at Spurs would be higher than what he has at Leicester. Let's not forget he became a living and walking meme during his time at Liverpool, he literally couldn't handle it.
Nagglesmann & Poch both turned down Real Madrid, was that reported in the same way as Rodgers today? I don't think so.
Rodgers is a good manager, he's getting rewarded handsomely and has his feet under the table with his slippers on, their fancy dress wearing fans love him for having them just a handful of points above us and in a semi-final for the first time in a million years. With most managers lasting approx 2yrs, he's absolutely right to keep his slippers on and avoid another meltdown.
Yet there were Wolves fans saying we've had his best years, he can't defend in a back 4 and it's a good bit of business to swap him out for Semedo. The alarm bells were there all along if you chose to hear them.
The transfer like Gedson and Vinicius was a Mendes stitch-up which we will ultimately suffer for because now he has a tasty 4 year deal and we can't get rid of him as he'll have little re-sale value at his age. Big win for Matt, not much of a deal for us again..
Neither of them were remotely a DoF in the sense that Txiki Begiristain is at City. Not even close.
In his own head Levy is both the savvy chairman smart enough to hand over control to a proper football expert DoF, but also secretly himself a football expert DoF. That is why it never works.

Bitter fans from ex club?? They didn't want him to go, no-one in foot all saw that transfer coming, Doherty was very settled and happy at Wolves
Semedo has struggled this season. Imagine if we had paid almost 30 mill for him like Wolves did
No way do we hire Scott Parker or Graham Potter. We're the 9th richest club in the world.
Has to be Allegri, he is a brilliant tactician and is the best manager out of a job.
Juventus have been on a downward spiral since he left, that's despite them signing Ronaldo too! He would have won two Champions Leagues if it wasn't for two great teams.

I think it's more than common knowledge how I felt about his appointment, it's the biggest managerial fuck up in 20yrs.
He was backed though. Highest net transfer spend in our history, targets for every single position he wanted covered. He, fans & media all giving it a seal of approval.
Alarm bells would have absolutely rang regarding Dele & Ndombele. Whilst I find his hire dumbfoundingly stupid, nay negligent, they would have been very aware of what they were getting regarding his conflict style. There was no difference at Utd where they too were desperate to keep the growing list of those he publicly hung out to dry and cast off (they are all performing well under the new guy) and worth substantially more today than they were under Jose. Utd were right to look after and keep these players. I think we are right to stick with ours.
He's probably cheap
Allegri probably has the best CV of anyone on that list.
Top managers are looking at us and saying: "if Mourinho couldn't last 2 seasons there then the problems must be massive".
I saw a video of people discussing Sean Dyche. Sean Dyche folks. Fuckinell 
What the fuck is the Spurs way, if anyone can care to enlighten us. The names being mentioned are a joke.

Galtier from Lille....
Funny thing is people will probably be frantically googling that now excited
