Stranger things have happened but how could that not end in disaster even if Levy decided to 'audere est facere' and go for it?

Tbf if we had the crazy gang mentality then I think that people would feel better about things. Unless you are talking about the crazy gang comedy team from the 1940s, in which case you might have a point.

Conte might be slightly unhinged but he's not stupid. How many manager's has Levy conned with the old 'Sure, we'll back you with funds.'? Just off the top of my head AVB, Poch, Mourinho...
How many players have been given assurances that they could leave for a bigger club if they just signed this new deal?
Harry and his brother might have acted like a couple of pillocks but I have no doubt at all that Levy made all the right noises and gave them what to them sounded like straightforward promises.
Eventually people suss you out. Daniel Levy is full of it. Do not, under any circumstances, trust a Daniel Levy promise.

I don’t believe that for a minute. We obviously fancied him but then paratici came in and we went with his choice because the new manager was his remit. I doubt there was any more skullduggery than that. The situation changed and so did who we were looking at.

Where can Conte realistically go? All the big clubs are pretty much set.
I guess maybe PSG or United - but I can't see him managing them tbh.
Hopefully, he realises that he doesn't have many options and suddenly has a change of heart ?
Lets stop this Conte fantasy. He will not be joining us.

Nah the club's in the dirt currently, let people dream.

That's why Conte would never go for it and it would end in disaster anyway. You'd have to give it one window at best.

At the start of the season I really hoped that Nuno could add defensive solidity and positive man management. The first three games there was hope that we were moving in the right direction but then it has gone to pot.
I think Nuno hasn't had it easy - inherited poor fitness and attitude, Kane, Ndombele, being last choice, the injuries and the debacle of our players going to South America.
But I do have big concerns.......
- he started by putting a defensive midfield shield in place which made good sense and then stopped and we are shipping goals....
- dropping Skipp when he provides grit, energy and effort. One of few who are.
- NLD no Midfield plan - playing Dele and Ndombele in the same midfield.
- 433 is at best an aspirational objective when the players don't fit. Play 4231, a place to start from. The 2 is the defensive shield and the middle of the three can be one of dele/ndombele and le celso where they can play into form or at least not fuck up our defensive formation.
- Romero play him - we bought him to be the difference, he won't acclimatise on the bench, he hasn't been tainted with the lacklustre attitude/calamity Jane tendencies of dier, satchel, etc. He was defender of the year in Italy, he must start.
- Rodon, injured i know but when we have seen him he has had the right attitude and given it his all. Would you not rather him or Tanganga with Romero giving it some?!
- Gil - play him if nothing else for attitude.
Not all his fault but some of this is to obvious.

Doesn't look good at the minute but it is still really really early and its not like he's turned our great form and free flowing game to shit is it? We've been incredibly poor for a long while.
There was talk of sacking Klopp in the early days and everyone took the piss out of Moyes for a long while, not taking the piss now.
Got to give him until new year at least.
First 3 games we're all happy and top of league. 3 games later it's sack him lol.
Fickle? Moi?
