At one stage Jord, that may have been the case. I hope that by now the fans understand the real reason for their displeasure, instead of settling for blaming the point-man like we previously used to do, which was the most useful 'get out of jail free' card Levy had in his arsenal.
The rot at this club stems from the policies used to run this club. You cannot charge people the insanely high ticket prices we do and then expect them to be satisfied with the fare that we've offered up over the last few years, especially when not a single cent (or paisa, or penny) has come from the glorious owners, possessed as they are with the overriding desire to ultimately make a profit on their investment here without a single financial contribution of any sort from them and without a single risk taken in terms of backing the men appointed by them to run the club.
The fans pay their outrageous ticket prices. They watch as this money is used to sign Stambouli and Fazio (well, players of that evident bargain-buy status) instead of the players the manager expressly states that he wants, and they watch as profits are registered in window after window, financial year after financial year. They then watch the manager struggle to fit these players evidently not perfectly suited to his system into the team. They watch the team struggling to adapt. And then, as is so often the case, they blame the manager and thus allow Levy to gleefully wield the axe citing fan discontent and bring in another potential yes-man who fell for the promises spun during the interviews, promises of investment, backing and ambition. And then the whole cycle starts again.
I've tried to change. Whatever happens at this club, I will not be blaming the manager for it. The sooner the rest of the fanbase wake up and direct their ire to the executive boxes above them, the sooner the miasma and lack of purpose at this club will dissipate, one way or another.
