Daniel Levy admits to fans he lost sight of the 'club's DNA'

[Gilzeanking]

A lot of trust has been broken due to ESL & Jose gamble that didn’t pay off, if he can get this next manager right and the squad re-build ideally with Kane then things can still be positive.

Agree with post generally , but how is appointing Jose breaking any trust ? There was enormous backing for the appointment including from myself . Then , ESL . To turn this down would have been absurd for a club our size , or at least be in it with a chance to leave if not a good thing .

So for me these things have nothing to do with trust . Trust breaking with fans is to say one thing and do another , how on earth do you get this from these chairman moves ? He couldn't heads up as that was a part of the ESL deal .

However , putting a kid in charge of our attempt to get Europe was penny -pinching madness imo and yes there have been moments in the transfer market where he got obsessed with the process of the deal and a bad outcome resulted .

It’s not hindsight. People were blinded by Mourinho’s CV thinking ‘I’ll have some of that’ when there was plenty of evidence to show it was likely to go the other way. So many people were saying they were prepared to put up with the shit that was coming for the gamble of winning a trophy. Well, we lost the bet. And we’re left with the shit. Again, that’s down to Levy. So many years of short changing the football side of the club meant we sold our soul in desperation.

Well no , this is totally hindsight . You would not have dreamed of posting this in Dec 2020 after 3 weeks at the top of the Prem...but 5 months later you're full of it . Yes Levy gambled , what do you think being a chairman involves...always going with certainties ?

In life you have to flip a coin sometimes and take a chance . Levy did that and to turn around and clobber him now it fell to tails instead of heads is some way short of impressive . I see Captain Hindsight in full flow in many parts of SC atm and certainly here.

Load of rubbish. There was plenty of opposition before the appointment. Just because we had a purple patch doesn’t mean that those fears weren’t realised.

Yea all fair points mate. Re.Jose I think its added to trust being broken because whilst a fair few backed the idea, a lot hated the idea given he was ex-chelsea and also a very devisive figure and plays poor football so trust in terms of making decisions that appease the fans so to speak. Being Part of the ESL broke trust, yes I know "we had to otherwise we'd have been left behind blah blah", I disagree - you don't HAVE to do anything, no one had a gun to his head saying you have to join this, if he'd taken a step back and thought actually a closed shop league idea goes against everything that football especially in england stands for then he'd have realised that 1) It was never going to work anyway and 2) it would royally piss off the fans and lose their trust.

Also £60 price for the one return game doesn't exactly build trust when virtually all other teams had lower prices, Burnley even gave theirs away for free for goodness sake.

The Mason decision was a strange one, on one hand I think the timing was a bit wrong and should've given Jose the cup final at least but on the other hand i comment Levy for giving the chance to Mason and buying time to have a proper plan and re-thing about the football set-up and next manager etc, if he gets this next move right like he did with Poch then it will have worked out fine, if not then he'd have been better off getting a Benetiz etc in for 10 games to try and give us a better shot of top4.
