Is it because you dislike farmers?
Hadn't considered Lopetegui. Doing well with Sevilla, especially considering they don't really have a huge amount of quality or pace in attack. El Nesyri and Ocampos are good but not great. His Spanish team was a lot of fun to watch. Madrid run was a disaster, but probably lots of mitigating factors there. Also, his English is very good. Hopefully we take a look at him.
What’s your point? That you think he’s stupid because one Dutch fan called him a farmer’s boy? I doubt you know much about him.
Not stupid. Provincial. Someone like Steve Bruce perhaps. I.e. Someone you could never imagine working abroad.
Reminder that Levy was also “blown away” after discussions with Mourinho before he was given the job. If Levy’s hiring managers by their ability to make his dick tingle then we’re fucked. As a matter of fact looking back at the last 20 years only 2 managers were a “success”, just proves how well Levy finds his man.
For Amsterdam people 'farmer boy' means anything Dutch that's outside the capital.
Levy is a dose but Mourinho's second to none methods have left a lot of good quality players looking like pubs league footballers. Let's not pretend Mourinho isn't far past his best and made less of our squad than it actually is.
Not only that, but it's obvious the whole "one year extension" is simply a "Give us more money" shout.
Also it'll show Ten Hag if Levy is serious or not.
On the other hand, Mourinho made a great impression on Levy, and charmed the fucking bollocks off many of us, myself included, in his first few weeks here.
Maybe ten Hag told him the squad needs to be gutted, but Levy thinks it's good enough to challenge for the league. The usual. It's very hard to know.
Bad impression?
Walked into the room suave, sophisticated and bald and saw two bald oompah loompahs in Levy and Hitchin and started to laugh.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is his first language? You said he can barely speak Dutch, and I didn't know if you were joking or not.
The more this farce develops the more we alienate ourselves from anyone truly qualified to be the next manager. Levy will appoint a lapdog on a shoestring budget and give him a small portion of the money acquired from the sale of Harry Kane to try and plaster over the gaping wound that will undoubtedly be left in our squad.
It is testimony to the manner in which Daniel has poisoned everything around him that no-one wishes to work under his leadership. We have a wonderful stadium, but sadly it stands as a solemn and currently silent reminder of what might have been had the same amount of effort and positivity been directed towards the building and development of the team as well.
My choice was, and still is Bielsa, but I just cannot see him willing to try and work with DL. These are dark days and with more to come. As supporters all we can do is the one thing we have become experts at in following this wonderful club. Hope !

Like it or not, a new manager has to work well with Levy and the other senior figures at the club. There needs to be a rapport there.
If a manager were really keen he'd have made sure to do his homework, have opinions on the squad, even youth players. Perhaps Ten Hag didn't do that or just generally didn't give a great impression
That's half the problem right there. Levy should fuck off into the background and let football people run the club. He could start by getting a DoF.
Maybe he was blunt. Blunt works for me. Are Dutch farmers blunt? I can certainly tell you that Irish farmers are blunt.
Fair play to ETH.
He's got to follow what he thinks is right.
Even I wouldn't want to work with Levy.
I'd take the job just because I love the club.

An impression like
Levy "What's your view for the future of the club"
Hag "I'm like to buy..."
Levy "Let me stop you there. I get a bad impression from you"
Maybe it's all part of the poker game, but fuck me, if he is not saying we have no direction as a club.
Whoever comes in Hitchens needs to go with immediate effect.Our shocking recent recruitment record (last five years) is at the heart of our demise.
