Mason until end of season, as widely reported, makes no sense then. It could only be Poch or Tuchel in straight away. I’m not sure either are right tho.

I feel like Daniel is determined to appoint any manager that will clash with him at this point. Jose did, conte did and tuchel definitely will at some point

I find this completely unsurprising and incredibly shortsighted. Not in regards to getting top 4 but going for PL proven. It doesn’t mean anything these days.
It didn’t help with Conte, didn’t help with Nuno and didn’t help with Jose. On the other hand we supposedly like Di Zerbi who has only just come here and after a few months is wanted by us. How depressingly naive.

The fucking irony if this is true...
Only had Poch and 2 elite managers alude to the same thing, 4 years later Levy gets a brain wave.. Fucking hell

Oh shit, that doesn't bode well for me.
Limits our choices dramatically and adds to the idea that Levy still has no plan to what he's doing, still clutching at straws and desperate for a quick fix.
After the last few appointments, maybe he needs to be brave and take a fucking gamble for once.

I could see a Tuchel getting offered a big fat juicy bonus to join now and get top 4.
Its so weird because Tuchel is the best option from a coaching/managerial perspective but its completely the wrong fit, which im not sure makes sense but I think majority understand what I mean!

Yep, Tuchel might possibly be the best candidate going by certain measures but I just can't get excited by the idea of him.
It'll end as a car crash as usual.

Look I will never accept any shade thrown at this man
He is the only manager I saw bring home a trophy and to do it beating Chelsea 2-1 in the final and arsenal 5-1 in the semi's as well, the guy is a legend in my eyes
I really do like Tuchel, we will definitely have a short term fix with him but I just fear what would happen after. With Poch I think we would still have a good chance with top four and then a rebuild. He would automatically lift the club.

Fair enough. I disagree. "If done properly" is doing a lot of work here. A club-wide health department, scouting department etc can exist without a DoF and function very well. In fact, they remain when DoF's go. These things need leadership, but a DoF role doesn't have to be the position to provide it. The bigger issue is who reports to whom. In most cases, there are people in the background, including DoFs, who contirbute to on-field success. But nobody is more important than the manager in that respect, who is the person a DoF should be reporting to and not the other way around.
Ultimately the DoF, and sometimes the role itself, get's binned if performance isn't up to scratch. I suspect Paratici gets one more bite at the managerial merry-go-round before biting the bullet himself. He's had Nuno and Conte. If he's calling the shots, we'll have Tuchel or someone of that ilk next (=consistency of approach). And if that fails, the consistency that the DoF provided will be a key part of why it failed. Likewise, if it succeeds, the DoF will deserve credit for seeing the approach through turbulent times and following through on the approach. But it'll be the new manager that delivered success, not the DoF.

To be fair if that’s the 4 that’s actually a very good list, which makes me highly doubt that is the list or that we’d end up with any of them.
The more I read up on Amorim and watching them vs Gooners last week, the more and more he impresses me. Came in with Braga and Sporting both on their knees and created something special at such a young age.
Takes cup comps extremely seriously aswell which is now key for me.
Think a giant club will be taking him very soon.

Levy is an absolute idiot.
Glad you're now saying Tuchel is in the running as I remember when I first mentioned he was near the top of our list, you said you didn't think he was. I've consistently been given two names, that doesn't mean there aren't others as of course there will be, but Tuchel and Enrique are the only names that have been consistently said to me.
Re what Dragon has said re people lying if they think they know who the next manager will be or what the plan is, unless I've missed something, I don't believe anybody has committed to saying who the next manager is or what the plan is.
This is what will determine his decision imo. For him, the thought of missing out on CL and the extra revenue that comes with it must be pretty sickening. It's the here and now that is important to him. I didn't think Tuchel was likely at all to be honest but been thinking about it today and beginning to see why Levy may lean towards him. Experience of the EPL, available, walked into Chelsea when they were struggling and turned it around pretty quickly and won the CL with them. We all know it wouldn't last but Levy will be fine looking for someone else after roughly 2 seasons.
Not saying he'll get the job but my suspicion is he may be more high up the list than a lot of people think. Whether Tuchel is open to the job, who knows. May want to sit tight and see what bigger opportunities arise in the summer.
Never say never, but not convinced Levy is going to pay up for the likes of De Zerbi or Amorim when the likes of Poch, Tuchel and even Enrique are available. Probably thinking why pay compensation when 3 managers who've coached at a higher level are out of work. In his eyes, probably can't make an argument that under De Zerbi or Amorim we are more likely to achieve top 4 than with Poch/Tuchel/Enrique.
With the way we operate, think a younger up and coming manager is more suited to the role but think the temptation to bring in one of 3 guys who've managed at a higher level and not have to pay compensation will be too great for Levy

Fair play those 2 games were amazing (though it was Arsenal's reserves), however 10 wins in 36 games in the league was shocking, especially with a team that had the Berbatov and Keane partnership and Woodgate (and occasionally King) at CB.
