The bald terrorist has written off loads of seasons previously without a clear plan. We must have ended about 6-7 seasons with a caretaker
I’m bookmarking this. What a Joan Thomas like comment.
Not a chance they are the only choices. We will have another manager lined up, probably a foreign attacking protege like Fonseca or some dick from Germany
I didn't mind the Fonze when we were linked with him a couple of years ago.
That's what it looks like to me.
He doesn’t though.
Whilst in a nightclub in Brighton his uncle was alleged to have groped a girl, he was charged with sexual assault, those with his uncle, 5 other men (Biss plus 4 others) were also all charged. The charges against Biss and the other 4 men were dropped. I think(???) the charge against his uncle is still being investigated but I have lost track of this story, basically, I have not heard that this charge was dropped, so assume it's still current.
Kang is the only one that fits this criteria.
2003,
IDK how you can attribute that horror show of a season to Levy rather than Ramos, sure we sold Keane and Berba but we weren't exactly left with much of an option in either scenario, we were still very much a selling club at that point. He brought in Modric, a generational talent, Bentley, who was one of the best young English players in the league the season prior, and Pavlyuchenko to replace the dud Bent, who had been one of the star performers of the Euros that season. Granted we were left with inadequate cover at striker since we already knew Bent wasn't good enough and Frazier Campbell was nowhere near premier league level at the time, but Levy had clearly made a concerted effort for most of the window up to Berba downing tools trying to identify and bring in some of the most exciting talent available to us at the time. It's easy with hindsight to say Pav and Bentley were shit and Levy fucked Ramos by selling Berbs but we really didn't have a say in the matter, it was either sell him or let him rot in the reserves. It's no coincidence in my mind that results immediately improved when 'Arry came in, even before he had the opportunity to seek reinforcements through the transfer window. Ramos was a horror show, refused to integrate and learn English, utterly without a clue outside of his native Spain. Far less Levy's fault than his that he's now famous for "2 points from 8 games" IMO.
“If you want to aspire to competing at the highest level, you cannot sell your stars,” he told Standard Sport at an event in Madrid.
Do you struggle to understand the nuance of the word could? Or get that we were talking about the unquantifiable nature of fate. It isn't hard as it may seem. Possibilities are endless one of which may even make Mr Levy an unfavorable protagonists. In others he's the hero you so fondly imagine.
