Yet still they come, the likes of Conte and Mourinho. We'll see who is next, but the plus points I have mentioned, plus the stadium, training facilities etc mean that managers like Slot and Nagelsmann are at least willing to consider the job
Yes, and they will still continue to come because Levy will pay big money to get someone in that he thinks will take the spotlight off him for a while. And money will attract money grabbers and proven winners like Conte or JM...and even someone like Slot or Nagelsmann because the moneys good and if they fail, they get paid a fortune and leave the fans to vent their anger at the chairman. We can't get much worse. But its all completely irrelevant.
Why ?
People can point out the shiny new things like the stadium and the state of the art training facilities to argue the club is going in the right direction..but what has all that done for our football club apart from tourists with very little connection or genuine interest in us but only to oooh and ahhhh at it.
The optimistic approach is great but as far as I'm concerned, if Levy still calls the shots we're going nowhere.
The neglect and mismanagement of on field matters for over twenty years is what we are seeing the fruits of today. And now because of that we find ourselves in a position of disarray and looking at clubs like Newcastle, Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa, and Arsenal and ask how many of these clubs will we finish ahead of in 23/24 ??
That's where we are, and it's all thanks to our commander and chief.
The players are what they are as a result of lack of investment and freshening the squad. Far too many average players have been here for far too long. Its gone stale and toxic and they don't give a fuck. The only exceptions have been Sonny, Harry and maybe Davies.
I'll back and support my club no matter who the manager, or the chairman is or how we're doing but be optimistic for the foreseeable ? That's a tough ask...
