Yeah you could be right, but if I'm being optimistic I'd say that a lot of the toxicity is borne of us playing passive, reactive football for 3 years, off the back of a death spiral under Poch.
We deserve what we get if that happens, especially if we're trying to play the kind of football that to a person we want to see. If the stadium is just going to hound out manager after manager then we're on a bit of a hiding to nothing whoever we appoint.
I had drinks last night with 3 massive Celtics fans. They never heard of the guy. They were pretty drunk though and were drowning their sorrows after losing to the Miami Heat in game 7I have a mate who's a Celtic supporter and i've made absolutely no effort at all to get in touch with the fucker. I know you're absolutely gagging for news and I can only apologise for letting you all down by sparing you the complete irrelevance of the views of some random spunkbubble
They must have heard of Spurs though right..
Sacked for what? Enjoying a low block! A succulent defensive low block?
They hate San Antonio ever since Tim Duncan.
Whilst I still think he won’t turn us down as I think this is where his age will play into it. I do think things aren’t near as far along as people think. As you say so far talks would have gone through his agent. I just don’t see him doing a face to face until after the season. Now we know his agency is Levy’s buddies BASE but even so I think there’s probably still a lot that could go sideways as you say.
I think some of the reason for the negativity is that he isn't coming into a settled system and there appears to be no progress to the recruitment side of things. It's not the same as Big Ange joining a well oiled machine like brighton and giving him a chance. If the new head of recruitment had already been appointed then it's sort of easier to fall in with, thsi is the new direction we are going in. but he will join whilst there's still ambiguity over our recruitment process so it still feels a bit like a mess.
Brilliant. I see you know your judo well!
Probably as many as Feyenoord mates!
I really don't think control is as big an issue that is made out. I think its a lot more to do with budget when it comes to Levy. If Ange has targets who fit the budget he will get his way. Similar to life under Redknapp who got players he wanted because they were attainable. I think the issues come with the likes of Jose or Conte asking for big money signings like Bastoni or Skriniar. Even Poch was after the likes of Mane, De Jong and Dybala towards the end. I can't see Ange chasing these big money deals so I think that will be OK. I would not be surprised if we have no dof and just Ange having more control but reporting to Munn.
