Nice snippet from Harry on Levy, when he wanted him to take over. Based on this I’m sure Levy would like the next guy in pretty quickly.

34.17 onwards

Are you sure about that?

I’d be amazed if 10k didn’t renew that they’d sell them all - unless they were offered to overseas investors!!!

Supporters who were 50k+ on the waiting list were offered a ST in recent seasons…
They'd always be plenty of opportunists who have no intention of attending but know a person/people who they can sell them off too.

Hence why the atmosphere at most grounds nowadays is largely flat unless there's a goal or something to boo.

If we miss Naglesmann and then Pochettino only to end up with Nuno X2 we will look even more of a clown show then we have previously. We literally have two elite ‘’project’’ managers who fit us standing right there. If Naglesmann says no grab Poch, it’s not fucking hard. This club is like pulling teeth.

I mean fuck we even have a back up to that in Gallardo. It’s an open goal!!
Open goal you say ? Maybe Darren Bent was Levy all along

I get we’re all scarred from the managerial search fiasco of the eventual Nuno appointment, but that’s really not going to happen again is it.

That’s actually an outlier in Levy’s tenure, our board does a lot wrong but I’d be amazed if we don’t know who our next manager is by the time the season is out.

Let’s just relax until there’s actually more clarification.

I can see him waiting till we suffer a shite home defeat to release the good news of our new Manager/Head Coach, or if it's a dodgy choice leaving it till we've all gone home for another summer (while suggesting to the media all sorts of big names are competing).

I think the next bad home loss will be more of a trigger point for some Levy out action than some think, no one's gonna get the hump when you're beating Wham Chels and Forest are they?

Couldn't you apply the same logic with the stadium/naming rights?

According to Daniel we wanted a progressive manager when Jose went. We spoke to numerous and then we appointed Nuno and Conte.
You can't pay too much attention to PR pieces written by Jeff the intern. That guy let his media studies and English lit degree from anglia ruskin go to his head.

Yep. Entirely on Levy’s head. He’s always had his faults but he’s completely lost his grip on the direction of the club ever since the Jose appointment.
Not to call you out specifically, but this is exactly what I'm talking about. Almost every post gets so many replies like this and I'm just not sure it's needed.

I think the most enamored BSoDL thinks he's shit the bed over the last few years, so can we not just take that as read, rather than having so many posts saying the same thing?

I never thought I’d hear myself say this let alone write It down but I really don’t care who the next manager is. He clearly won’t be backed sufficiently so needs to be a good coach to get the best out of the players we have and that will likely be back in the summer.

Trix in the Conte thread said that the board actually have no idea who they want because they are all divided, and - surprise surprise - there is no clear vision or direction for them to assess potential appointments against. Possibly - by the time the season is out - they may have reached some kind of consensus, by which time it will probably be too late for Nagelsmann if he were to be the preferred option; but it's all just ridiculous and thoroughly depressing that a business of our size and stature is being run by a board who appear - yet again - to be running around with their hair on fire.

I see your point, but it naturally follows from your post. You said there’s constant negativity. Unfortunately that’s because the club is being incompetently run and has been for some time. As long as that continues there will be negativity, and the blame will be directed at the source of it. There isn’t much more to be said at the moment, so if the repetitive and/or negative posts are grinding your gears you’re probably better off staying clear of the Conte/new manager threads, because they’re not going to be a barrel of laughs for the foreseeable.
