It’s only ridiculous because you’re stuck in the past. Right now in May of 2023 we are a mid table club with no manager. Our best player is going to leave. we have no director of football. We have no direction, and a clown leading us. The blind leading the blind, or should I say the bald leading the bald.This gets said every time we lose to any semi-decent team. Utterly ridiculous, knee-jerk thing to say.
No europe next season at all is a shame
Why do we have such a haphazard weak squad? could it be no direction, no ambition, hiring and firing managers, not backing them? The problem us much greater than players and won’t be fixed under current ownership, continued patching up over the summer, nothing changes.Its not been about the managers - its been about the players.
Levy does not get that.
Having said that, what is done, is done.
We move forward. New manager. New day. Hope springs eternal.
The lack of succession planning for both the manager and DoF roles is gross negligence. Even if you know nothing about football, any sensible CEO would have plans for both those eventualities. Even before Conte implode and Paratici's legal troubles began.This could’ve been avoided. It was very clear 5 months ago that Conte wasn’t happy and had no intention of signing a new contract. He couldn’t be arsed with it. The fact that we didn’t take control of that situation at the time has directly led to today. All on Levy. It’s not hindsight, it was obvious.
Sanchez fell over his own feet again today, trying to walk out with the ball, with no one near him.Davies was our worst player today.
Think it's a good thing personally.
No going to places like Moldova on a Thursday night and the new manager gets more time on the training pitch (god knows the players need it)
Levy and the club don't deserve European football either.
Yep. Investing £45m on a player *specifically* for a manager who could’ve rightly been sacked in January was lunacy. Made even worse by the fact that the very same player is likely going to be made redundant by the system our new manager plays.This could’ve been avoided. It was very clear 5 months ago that Conte wasn’t happy and had no intention of signing a new contract. He couldn’t be arsed with it. The fact that we didn’t take control of that situation at the time has directly led to today. All on Levy. It’s not hindsight, it was obvious.
Indeed as boring as it was I still think we'd be cemented into Europa and mathematically still in with a shout for CL if Conte was still here. Should have kept him and sorted his replacement whilst he was still in situ.Absolutely, if anyone doubts they were good managers what we are seeing now proves that.
This has been years in the makingThis could’ve been avoided. It was very clear 5 months ago that Conte wasn’t happy and had no intention of signing a new contract. He couldn’t be arsed with it.

Conte is hugely responsible for this.Say what you want about conte and Mourinho but they were papering over the cracks of what a truly terrible side we are
