Do tell, Snarf?
Sounds transfer related to me, which is kinda good enough...
I thought he'd be on a STFU clause...

Quotes about the long term direction of the club:

"Levy spoke at start about long term project, about giving club long term stability but was always about the next result. In second season I realised there was situations that exceeded sport, was easy to understand what the club was really about. It's important when finding my next role that board value words they tell me. Only then will I be able to choose well.

Quotes about the long term direction of the club:

To be fair, AVB should have realised Levy talked a load of bollocks when he read how we announced his appointment...

"He has an outstanding reputation for his technical knowledge of the game and for creating well-organised teams capable of playing football in an attractive and attacking style".

Sounds like AVB is just trying to deflect some blame to give him a better chance of getting another job.

Quotes about the long term direction of the club:

Usual hard to understand stuff then! :LOL:

I think his problem is that he never understood what our project actually was and thought we'd go out and spend fortunes on whoever he fancied, yet he's never been involved with transfers anywhere he's been! He really should go and work for PSG or something then he can get his money-no-object players. It's clear to me that his self-belief/arrogance is what holds him back from succeeding; see Carlo Ancelotti if you want an example of a man who can control a large club without ego.

I liked him but he's his own worst enemy

Yay we've been bumped out of the ITK thread.

Anyway: he wants control but not responsibility.

He isolates the first team, yet wants to to formulate the direction of the club.

He's so full of contradictions. No wonder the players were a bit confused.

I thought it was just media-baiting double-speak but i'm ever more convinced that his message is contradictory and confused; Everything he says is, anyway.

Really didn't need to come out and say that.

At the end of the day Levy wasn't deciding his tactics and style of play for him. You don't always get what you want player wise but FFS look at the squad he had at his disposal.

We were regressing in truth.

That is a bit rich coming from someone who did his best to trash the reasons for him being appointed in the first place. Ignore the playing style, what about him giving a chance to the young players at the club, as was specifically mentioned? Never saw any evidence of that (well, a real chance, not just the odd game). It's one of the things that I was most disappointed with him about.

From what we heard it was all about the first team with him, didn't suggest a long term plan focused on the whole club.

"Only then will I be able to choose well."

He is still talking as though he holds all the aces, that he will choose the next worthy recipient of his talent, i like the guy but by god if you have the ego then at least have the talent to match it.

Its bordering on delusion and if these quotes are anything to go by you can see why he had so many problems with a variety of people.

Thanks Andre, you dug your own grave, mate.
