I'd like to think that the Board felt that a £6m to £15m rise in comp felt like Fey were taking the pi$$.
But that would be giving too much credit, for them having an actual plan and parameters around how much they really wanted Slot vs others.
Regardless, finding this crap out on day 60 is just continued incompetence & negligence.
So Tired.
What on earth do Journo's and people of other clubs ever have to talk about? We seem to have 3 dramas a week.

No I don't suffer from delusion, thank you very much. Brighton will sell their big assets this window and we can offer more money, in saying that yes I believe any manager is nuts taking our job as long as levy is at the helm.

Good points mate although its the style of play that is so key here to all of your points.
Jol was a likeable character, he got the Spurs DNA and built us up towards europe with a young british core and good football.
Redknapp got us back to basics and in the end playing some of the best football in the last 30 years aside from Pochball.
LVG plays boring football and would've been a disaster, Poch was a breath of fresh air.
JN, Slot, Poch, De Zerbi, Gallardo, Big Ange etc etc would all get the fans excited, Amorim is not as defensive as Conte but the football would be too similar to what we've been witnessing and I don't think he'll get much patience or support from the fans as a result. I don't think he'd be a terrible option maybe a 6/10 choice and see how it goes and we might be pleasantly surprised but given the 6 names I've mentioned the Amorim would be very underwhelming.

Yeah, all be avoidable if the club had just had a plan, stuck to it and then not felt the need to do bullshit PR moves to try control the narrative.
As I said before, if Nagelsmann's people had have gone to the press saying he had ruled himself out of the Tottenham job then he would have looked bad as he'd only just done the same with Chelsea weeks prior and it would be him to be seen as 'problematic'.
I do think Amorim would do well here for what it's worth but who knows if he would consider us anymore.

I really hope many people come to the same conclusion.

He wouldn’t be anywhere near the top five on my list at the start of this process.

He'd be a very intriguing option and agree with your points, his style of play is certainly not 'the same' as Conte's, it is a bit more dynamic and there is more pressing and passing moves but his teams don't keep much possession, they play with the same 3-4-3 formation we are tired of and I fear that his Sporting side only looked half decent mostly because nearly all of their players are good passers and dribblers of the ball and fairly technical players whereas we have a squad full of cloggers right now.
I think Amorim is a talented young coach and he has the potential to build something with us but he's not a name I'd get particularly excited about especially in light of the 5-6 others who if we'd picked one and went all out to get them would've been far more exciting.

Well the Newcastle owners don't really get involved like Levy does. To be fair we've signed good players too but we just don't align the signings with the manager. We have no clear strategy, even under Paratici we sign players for one manager and then get a manager who plays a different way. It's most frustrating because despite all the anger about this it can be turned around. Just get a DOF with a clear plan and let him pick the manager to fit. Build a profile of other managers who also fit so down the line if we need a new one we're already one step ahead. My point really is it can be fixed and we can start heading in the right direction pretty quick as we've seen other clubs do.
Slot would have been an interesting fit i think for Spurs but it looks like he was using us to strengthen his position at his current club. I dont think it was Spurs not paying up that was the issue. Slot just won the league and now has CL and a fat pay rise to look forward to next season. Meanwhile Ruud is available.....

The execs of our club are in the football business. I have no idea why have they never considered the worse case scenarios of add ons, increments, shifting the goalposts etc... When all media and journalists are already reporting Slot to us almost like a done deal, they have to fucking make it happen. Levy, the chairman of the club, has to make it happen, not making us look like fools in every single fucking deals.
Because ultimately it's up to Levy.. No way Levy sanctions a Kane sale while this shit show is playing out and fans not happy.... Kane might not want to stay, but we've seen how that played out last time.... Kane will bide his time and walk away on a free with his head held high.

It is ridiculous isn't it. I'd understand these kind of hard-headed business decisions if there was no outside influence. We all know there are pressures from senior people internally, but when the media and thousands of fans are aware of broadly speaking what is happening, this surely influences you to just get the fucking deal done.
It's all the more baffling because levy does know how pissed off everyone is, and how much we need to get this sorted.

It’s so hard to want to push and perform for this club - players, staffs and managers alike. So hard.

Which is why while it is absurd, I won’t be surprised he is trolling us for chanting his name in protests. Seriously how many mistakes he needs to make to learn? Unless he doesn’t wish to learn of course.
who we will have to sack again in 18 months because visions are not aligned. It is simply pointless going for naglesmann

I don't know who said it now but regarding "Amorim's Sporting averaged less possession in the CL' than Marseille etc.
You do realise that in both games against Marseille they went down to 10 and 9 men respectively.
First game the GK Adan was a total disaster. They went 1-up after 1 minute
This is how they started - 7 men in attack.
Then Adan had an absolute disaster class.
First he tried a long pass only for it to deflect into goal.
Then he came for a cross and left the goal almost completely open.
Then he came for a ball he had no need to go for and got sent off.
Second game, they were down to 10 after 19 mins.
Then down to 9 after 60.
So yeah..of course they had little possession!!
Why is no-one talking about their smart 2-0 win over us?
Or how they thrashed Frankfurt 3-0 and dominated?
How they thrashed Besiktas twice?
Or how they beat both Dortmund?
Or how they dominated Juventus and were unlucky to lose?
Yeah they get thrashed by City and Ajax, they also get outdone by Porto and Benfica but Amorim has a far inferior squad and has made some of these players look like world beaters...
A lot of players he lost haven't gone onto better things.
Trincão has been a disappointment elsewhere, yet has been very good for Sporting. Same with Porro
Gonçalves, Paulinho, Matheus Nunes, Ugarte etc all came form nowhere and bigger clubs want/wanted them.
Amorim won't demand big money players, he won't cause frictions or attack players. He is a good character.
He fits us in more ways than some can accept.

I agree with everything you've said. We just have one problem and that's Levy
