My post was mostly aimed at those (and there are more than a few) for whom the idea of having given enough 'time' was a third to half a season. And i'm sorry, but that deserves what it gets. I did say a season and a half isn't being given time though and I stand by that but that's onions for you.
Under ENIC our 3 best managers have been Jol, Redknapp and Poch. Everytime we've gone for a big name or "next level manager" it has been a failure.
I think for this reason it's riskier for Levy to bring Poch back. If it goes wrong, the fans won't quickly turn on Poch, they'll go for Levy first.
Very good post.I keep seeing variations on the idea that the next manager needs to be given time. And quite right too, the trouble is, we don't do that as a club or on here do we. Not really. The idea of being given 'time' is roughly a third to a half a season before the footballing intelligentsia on here start bitching that he's had enough time and we should be doing this or that. We need to change that. Half a season, one season, a season and a half, that's not being given time, a genuine process and philosophy that's also backed up with action by the owners will take longer than that and if it comes sooner, that's great. We need to understand this and it needs to be reflected in how we react when things go sour from time to time.
Whoever the next patsy is will, as usual, divide SC to the point where each match thread and the manager watch thread, will yo-yo with toxicity and support, a constant stream of "see I was right" posts from each side depending on every result and people so entrenched and invested in having been right to begin with that the place will be a festering pit of dissatisfaction, vitriol and spite toward each other, the players and the manager. We need to change that too.
Meh, the disciples of the knee will read this and think fuck you you silly old twat
What a fucking grand waste of time this post has been
I would have been happy to keep Conte and give him another window with a less interrupted season. Unfortunately he self imploded and now there's no way back for him. I think that's more his own doing as I do feel he wants to return to Italy. Its been a crazy 12 months for him. If another manager turned on his players the same way then sacking makes complete sense. When a manager does a good job in a difficult season it's hard to understand why they would be sacked. Especially at this point in the season.
I need a ‘live your best Levy life’ t-shirt.
I don't know anything about him so my post is in ignorance of him, but I don't want another big name manager.
Him not being such a toxic **** would probably help garner a little patience from the fans too.
I don’t think he’s necessarily a big name. He was the next big thing a couple of years ago but it hasn’t worked out at Bayern for him (though it hasn’t for anyone there for a few years.)
snaked us lol hes a Bavarian and his boyhood club came in for him. Hardly snaked us did he.
