You know what I would do?
I would hire a team of consultants to watch every bloody game from Everton to Leicester and get them to report to me what in their opinion has gone wrong with the players.
I would have a right mix - 3 ex players/1 psychologist/1 Project Manager maybe an ex manager as well but do any of you remember Southampton away & Manchester United away?
What happened to that team.

That's actually a good shout. In reality I think the fears a lot of people have is that when Levy does hire a new manager, the manager will come in and give everybody a clean slate. When really they do need to watch a large chunk of games from this season in a very short space of time so they can assess everything and get rid of the deadwood ASAP.
The Southampton and United performances were just exceptions to the rule. Southampton we were poor first half, then Kane and Son took over second half. We can't look past playing most of the Man U game v 10 men either.

First job would be to find Wanksy’s contract, set fire to it and flush the ashes down the lavvy.
Second job would be to tell Sissoko to get out. I’d just do lots of pointing at the door.
Thirdly I’d fire Eric Dier.
After that, slap up grill, have a few bants with the Hitchmeister, see what’s about, scope the trim in a few bars around town, few lines in the john. Back to the office. Have a look at some spreados in Excel. Knock up a quick one-pager, make sure Danny Rose has cleared out his locker. See Harry K in the corridors - “Hey H-man!” I’d say, whilst double pointing at him. Carry on walking to the canteen. Grab a coffee and a biscotti. Make a couple of calls on the cell whilst having a vape outside, see what the vibe is with a few irons we got in the fire. Send Hitchmo some gnarly WhatsApp grot for the lolz. Dish him out some top bantz by calling him a “slap head knobber”, Check through the one-pager. Forward it on to Danny Boy. Make a few recommendations about firing a few players even though I’ve already incinerated Winksy’s contract. Reply to Hitchmo.
Ask who he reckons for “one twenny milly”
Go have a bit of a chat with Donna. See what’s going on. See if there’s a knees up at her gaff at the weekend.
y’know. Just general DOF stuff really.

That was the first alarm bell when Mourinho was hired when he said 'I'm very happy with the squad I have and don't need to make changes'. That, to me said that he had no idea how our players had been performing under Poch and that they'd all suddenly shape up simply because he'd arrived.

A project manager? Here's a day in the life of a Project Manager:
Office. Monday morning. 9am
Project Manager: Hi Humbolt, I need you to do this piece of work for me by tomorrow.
Me: Tomorrow? That's going to be impossible
Project Manager: Don't care, just get it done.
*hangs up the phone. Puts feet up on the desk*
Project Manager: Ahhh... that's Monday done by 9:03am. Probably my busiest day for a while. Now to take all the credit for the hard work of others...
In fact? Fuck it. A Project Manager would fit in really well here at the moment...

I would:
- Look to instal coaches at all levels, and not just for First Team, who will implement a modern, progressive philosophy; all squads at all ages to be coached in this manner;
- Look to move on approx 7-8 players from current squad who are particularly unsuited to new way of playing or whose time at club has come otherwise to a natural conclusion (eg Sissoko, Lamela, Aurier, Sanchez, Dier, Winks, Dele etc);
- Recruit then based on gaps, reflecting how we wish to play and thorough character assessments of players we’re interested in signing; do they have right characteristics in terms of resilience, grit? We need much better psychological profile of player & collective.
- Ask Harry for one more year before he decides on any transfer request.

Tell him I have managed to set up a secret meeting with a high profile footballer and have smuggled him into the training ground in the back of a van, as Daniel peers into the back of the transit I would shove him in, lock the door and......

Have a meeting with Lamela tell him thanks for standing of fabregas’ hand and calling wheelchair a pussy then tell him that He’d be much happier back in Italy.
Have another meeting with Lucas tell him that he’s a legend for Amsterdam, but it’s over.
Then also sell Aurier, Sissoko, Winks, Dier, Davies.
Then resign as I wouldn’t have a clue what to do next.

Install a progressive coach, 40s, who will have us playing in the Blanchflower Spurs tradition.
Ensure this philosophy runs through all age groups and the women's teams.
Hire the best sports psychologists and get them to work.
Reinstate a demanding fitness regime.
Review the analytics and scouting dept. Wholesale changes if needed. Poach the best people for this.
Map out the next 3-5 years of the first team for all positions and suiting a long term playing philosophy. Include a route to the first team for players from c.16+ over that period.
Sell based on objective, not emotional, analysis. E.g. give serious thought to selling Sonny. Love him, but he's going be 29, with 12m on contract, and still attracting attracting good fee. In a replaceable position.
Not singling out any particular players. Even those who've been roundly criticised have offered strong performances at times. Review all carefully.
That said, a clear need to sign 1 or 2 CBS and a top quality box to box CM.
