Mason is far too big a risk IMO. There's no guarantees with anyone, but the next appointment is critical, or we'll genuinely end up as a bottom half club, particularly if Kane leaves.

Yup, we are on downward trajectory and I can't see Levy giving the job to someone with such little experience. Not making Europe must really sting Levy and think he'll want someone with a body of work that shows he can consistently cut it as the main man at a major football club and give us the best chance of turning things around.

No guarantees with any appointment but Mason just feels too much of a gamble right now. If it doesn't work out due to a lack of experience, last thing we need is running around mid-season looking for another manager and potentially throw away another season.

We’re not going to hear anything until next Saturday evening once Celtic have won the Scottish Cup.

Imagine we’ll want to speak to Ange at least and he won’t speak to anyone until their season is over.

So another week at least to wait IMO

He’ll likely sign a new contract & we’ll be sitting 🦆 again

A week or maybe 10 days.

It is a cheap option. How you can try and sugarcoat that as not cheap and brave is beyond me.
But so what if it’s ‘cheap’ if that’s a dig at levy then it’s silly as he’s always spent big on manager wages, if its not a dig at levy then it’s just generally a bit of an irrelevant point.

I think appointing Mason is dangerous territory. Levy would walk all over him, we would/could end up with an even more bloated and unbalanced squad.

I like Mason, he has done his bit stepping in this season but he needs to leave and develop elsewhere. It’s like some of our players, they need to leave or they will just stagnate on this sinking ship.

Fine if people don’t want Mason I get that but thinking Levy will ‘walk all over him’ is just such a wrong way to look at it.

Levy could/would be guided by him on a clearly aligned vision for the club and team on the football side. Ryan could work ‘with’ Levy and the new DofF and he’s already said it’s very important we sort out the loans and squad size, Ryan is a clever young man and he’s spoken in recent pressers about the mistakes the club has made and what we need to change, this idea that he’d be a ‘yes man’ or ‘walked all over’ is absolutely so wrong.

Too inexperienced sure I get that argument 💯 but no way he’d be walked all over, not a chance and we need someone to work ‘with’ levy and the new DofF on a new vision and project not to ‘challenge’ him like
Conte and Jose supposedly were here to do.

Mason is not the right person for the job right now. Regardless of how you put it or state he has spent big before it is a cheap option for Levy.

He wouldn't pay the release fee for Slot who was apparently the number 1 choice so what would you say that is?

I am pretty sure our previous four managers started of wanting to work with Levy?

Demanding more potentially but they certainly never came in not wanting it to work.

Imo Levy never listened to Conte so you think he will listen to Mason? Levy May aswell manage the team himself. Levy doesn’t work with people, they do as he wants or he gets rid.

I’m not saying I’m always right but I do like it when I get some disagrees as that’s what a forum is about but I’ve got the majority of my educated opinions right in the past, I had about 20 disagrees when in pre season I said Arsenal would be title challengers, so I’ll continue to back myself that if we can’t get one of the top 5/6 options available then Mason should be considered at that stage and has some pros in terms of his clear and correct vision for the club if he got offered the job.

That being said I’ve always said if Mason did end up with the Job then Levy will have failed big time to not secure the likes of Naglesman, Slot, Gallardo, Poch, De Zerbi etc etc

I think it comes down to that last paragraph. Nobody in here wants us to fail and that is how it seems to be going.

It’s pretty challenging to be positive at present but I do applaud you for trying.
