Only difference being, our club is run awfully, so any manager who comes, is on a hiding to nothing.
This is the truth.
I have to remember it doesn't really matter who we get, they will all underperform.

Listen if he comes in and it all works out hunky dory then I’ll be the first to admit I’m wrong about him. But I have a preconceived opinion (wrongly or rightly) as do others and I’ll stand by that until proved otherwise.If he is hired then Levy is giving him a chance, but I am on about the fans once someone is hired into the manager's role. This fanbase deem people not good enough. You could be underqualified but willing to learn and work with those around you. If given a chance you could prove to be successful and prove all the doubters wrong.
I am not saying he will be a roaring success, nor am I saying he is not good enough. We as a fanbase need to stop believing outright that one person is worthy of it and another isn't. If Ange is hired then get behind him, if Enrique is hired get behind him, if Potter is hired then get behind. Whoever is fucking hired then get behind them.
This fanbase is weirdly obsessed with writing people off when they're simply linked with us. Of course discuss his style, his CV etc. but don't be a dick who is waiting to go "I told you so" if it fails.
How many were begging for Redknapp or Poch when we got them? Were they at the level we wanted? Redknapp was a Championship manager at the time. Poch was at Southampton. They had barely won anything of note between them. Same with Jol.
Just give whoever is hired a chance to implement their style and get behind them without getting on backs on day one or even before they sign a contract.
I think it's just Twitter. It's made up of mostly children/younger people who can't process nuance or go beyond black and white thinking. The same wankers who are writing him off will be the first ones to tweet something cringe about "Ange's style of football" the second he does well.If he is hired then Levy is giving him a chance, but I am on about the fans once someone is hired into the manager's role.

Well Barber is going to say that.
There's also lots of reports that Ange turned them down
oh what short memoriesThis is the truth.

I respectfully disagree because if we were not in denial, then we would have went all in for Slot who apparently wanted to start by selling off Kane and Son… Also, the hiring of Jose and Conte had nothing to do with rebuilding and more to do with trying to paper over the cracks…Finally, if we were truly committed to rebuilding we would have shifted or shipped out more of the deadwood but I think the board believe that it is better to keep some of them to see if a new manager can get tune out of them..

David May won the PL with United. Are you seriously suggesting he is of the same standing as Vidic or VVD? Of course not. So please don’t compare these two.Steven Gerrard won the SPL with Rangers
Overdue diligence!Due diligence!
It's started
At this point I think we just need to do something even if it's not everyone's first choice and it costs financially. The transfer window opens in 11 days and there's so much that needs to be done without what should be the two key components in place. I'm far from convinced Enrique is the right choice, but then I think the 3 best candidates are either gone or in JN's case extremely unlikely.I suppose it’s a matter of opinion on whether he’s worth it or not. I’d lean towards yes personally as I rate Enrique and he gives a bit more of a proven commodity to the table. I think we need to be getting back to the top 5 ASAP (for CL qualification) or we’re going to get left behind very quickly by the current top 4, Liverpool and Chelsea
I'd snap your arm off for 'arry 2.0 RN tbh.The big difference really is that Poch was already in the league and a lot younger. Ange is a lot older and I think a lot of fans would feel that type of manager should cut his teeth at a smaller PL club first. I'm on the fence about him but he could well be our next Redknapp instead of Poch 2.0.
I think this is the biggest problem. Very few are open minded and it must be manager x or y for reason a, b or c. Like yourself, they don't have the ability to just go okay let's give him a chance to see if he can prove us wrong.Listen if he comes in and it all works out hunky dory then I’ll be the first to admit I’m wrong about him. But I have a preconceived opinion (wrongly or rightly) as do others and I’ll stand by that until proved otherwise.
For all Kane’s genius on the pitch, he’s never given any impression of being particularly switched on off it. He’d be a similar standard manager to Lampard quite honestly.For me Kane’s opinion represents our ambition level. It's just a barometer for where we are heading. Like how he kicked up a fuss when we hired Nuno but got back to business under Conte. He just wants us to be ambitious so if he's happy for 1 final year under a manager I think that at least gives me confidence we are heading in the right direction.
He also said this about to our leak to the press on Nagelsman: “It was supposed to be choreographed. That was about as choreographed as a dog getting fu**ed on roller skates.”What's the quote from Succession......"Tottenham Hotspurs, I love you, but you are not serious people" (he doesn't mention Tottenham Hotpurs in the show, but I know he's thinking it)
Ah how the insults fly when someone has a difference of opinion to that of their own. SMH.It's not just twitter when it's on here as well..
