Levy and his 'player trading'. Unfortunately this is exactly why we'll ultimately never get anywhere under him. No DoF or manager and the guy is targeting players....no doubt ones he feels are undervalued. such as Maddison.
Now this doesn't mean he can't sign decent players but the whole thing just feels so uncomfortable and out of sync with how a club should be run on the pitch. You got Levy working to some kind of plan of his own and then when a DoF and manager arrive. they'll have their own ideas. Levy isn't going to change and when I read this kind of thing, just confirms Levy needs someone who can be a yes man for at least a couple of years before it blows up as usual. It's no surprise we didn't go for Poch because he would pipe up and do wonder if it would actually work with someone like Nagelsmann.
Just makes me think even more things will only work, at least for 2-3 years, with Levy if we go for a manager who is looking to build his profile and make the jump from a lesser job and prepared to keep his mouth shut for a couple of years and just go along with Levy. If this is how things are going to continue to be, probably better off going down the Slot, Gallardo, Glasner, Bo Svensson etc route.
This is not how successful modern day clubs are run and again just smacks of Levy and his yes men cronies running things from their Ivory Tower.
