Would be classic Levy hiring a loser like him
He job should be under threat selecting that line up last night. He properly fucked it for them.
You can’t say that ! He’s the sky sports golden boy along with klopp there literally untouchable
Okay I get this and so do the 17 who have so far ticked agree.
There is a middle ground. I don't want us to be glorious losers, nor do I want us to spend insane amounts to achieve success or see managers as expendable commodities, who deliver or fcuk off.
I would happily have taken an FA Cup, League Cup win or 2, given Leicester an even better chase and lost a couple of other finals in the last decade. We have been good enough between the sticks but fallen short between the ears.
But to look at Chelsea as a measuring stick, nah bo!!ocks to that.
Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea Tactics
Coming off the back of an impressive season under Frank Lampard, Chelsea went all out in the summer to beef up the squad as they put their trust in their club legend to lead them back to trophy wins. Chelsea gave Lampard a war chest acquiring multiple attacking players for a sum of over 200 […]

Still trying to get my head around a potential Poch return.
I absolutely love the guy and acknowledge he worked unbelievable miracles with what he had before being shafted so brutally.
But the more I think about this the more it becomes apparent that this would be a lazy option for Levy. An option to merely deflect from his shortcomings and growing resentment within the fanbase.
This would be a lazy, cheap option with Levy pinning his hopes on the magic man re-polishing the putrid turds within the squad and rebuilding on loose change.
This kind of scenario would never play out at any other top club

And has there been meaningful change with Poch?
He played his part in our near misses and eventual decline too...
But more whelming than anyone else.
probably this. any manager would be expected to get to top 4 with minimal transfer $ outlay. and if a manager does end up doing that and win a trophy or two, he will get poached by the bigger clubs. it is going to be a short term project either way
It is delusional to assume Levy or Joe are going to dig into their personal savings to come up with a bumper transfer budget
If they were young enough and keen utd and scum would definitely rehire Ferguson and Wenger
We have four top tier players Kane Son Loris Bale
We have four very good players Ali PEH Reguilon Toby
Two young starlets Skip & Tang...
We don't have a manager
We are £250 million in debt. So we're relying on Guns & Gaga to do the business.

Had a bit of time to myself this morning so logged on the laptop and started up the most recent version of Football Manager I've got - FM2018
Thought I'd see about hiring Rangnick.
He wouldn't even come to the negotiating table cos he loves Woolwich.
Get him off this list right now! The Rangnick train has derailed spectacularly!

Whoever the manager is, Levy has to reflect on his failings and change his ways otherwise we will continue our slide into irrelevance.
I think Poch coming back can work if Levy is honest about the mistakes he made in the 2 years before Poch got the sack. He has to accept that competing on the shoestring budget we had before is no longer possible. Assembling that squad with Lloris, Kane, Son, Dembele, Eriksen etc on the cheap was a miracle that can't be repeated. The only way to be competitive again is to spend. If he doesn't understand that now then there is no point bringing an expensive, experienced manager be it Conte, Poch or anyone else.
He also needs to understand that it's better to spend on young talent before they make the leap to the PL (and before our team goes stale) rather than panic and overpay like we did with Ndombele and Lo Celso. We could have spent half that £100m on Grealish and Maddison when we had the chance, and we'd be a much better team. Levy has to understand that dithering and penny-pinching over signing those young players has cost us far more in lost CL revenue than the £5m it would have taken to get them over the line.

Spurs: Jesus could be offered in Kane swap
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy should consider Manchester City’s mooted Gabrial Jesus swap deal for Harry Kane as it could kickstart a much-needed rebuild.

it's a nailed on deal
But
Notabadsquad
he's so good with crosses. He will be our saviour.
Shoestring budget? We spent £100 million on new players last summer and £150 million largely on a new midfield of Lo Celso, Ndombele and Sessegnon the summer before.
