A much weaker squad the second time around. But I actually think Jol's 2005/06 team is as good as our current one. It's a lot better defensively that's for sure!

Which would be fine if all you needed was a first team, but you don't. The lack of rotation may have hurt us in the latter stages of the past two seasons.
The squad will be a bit more lacking in comparison to last year. Which will hopefully be addressed.

But Liverpool were challenging and Mourinho was at Chelsea........
In short - you're chatting brick

For the squad yes, I'd say 1 or 2 new faces in the first XI.

I didn't say he was a top manager. I indicated that i didn't think he was a brick manager - which is what you alluded.
Man C may not have been around but the original Sky 4 was at the hieght of its Premierleague dominance. Same difference.

Replacing Modric is a huge job in itself.
Compounding that by replacing Adebayor, King and Gallas I would say its certainly a case that the team will be very different next season.
Potentially adding VDV to that? Countin gallas/King as one thats 4 KEY first team players that will have been changed, the entire spine of the side.
Not transitional? Do me a favour! And thats with Harry or anyone else in charge, the cards have fell in such a way it would have had to happen regardless.

He also said that in February, then he said not finishing 3rd wouldbe a disaster before the Arsenal game, then he said 4th is "as good as it gets"

Why are you trying to convince yourself that Levy is amazing and that Redknapp was brick?
All we want from Levy is that he gets us a proper manager, and spend the money on players. And he aint doing that.
And at the end of the year we`ll be crying again because we`re behind arsenal again. We cant be above them with that chairman, he appoints idiots and dont wanna pay the wages.

He's not, he's trying to convince you that Jol wasn't brick.
Whilst his appointments aren't always ideal, he doesn't want to pay the wages because he doesn't want us to do a Leeds.

Well we do know who holds the purse strings at the Lane and its wasn't the frigging manager,please we don't win things by saying 'taking us to the next level, or by saying the word future every two minutes.
Don't give a skooby who was in charge or is in charge all i care is how high up the table we are and i hope AVB carries on the good work what harry did,plus a little bit of ramos did and a little bit of what jol did.
The future starts now ha ha ha.........

Again? When have we been ahead of Arsenal?
Get Harry's **** from its position lodged in your throat and back the club.
How much of a Harry apologist / delusionist do you need to be before you move on? You're THAT fudged off you are now slagging teh guy who has spent the 4th highest net spend on players in the past 10 seasons?
OK then pal.

I was going to make the same point. Perhaps Levy should double ticket prices so that we can attracted a better class of mercenary in order for us to attain the holy grail of 'SKY 4'. I know Gooners who think exactly like that (& have actually said this to me with a bit of embellishment on my part) - it doesn't matter if we do not win anything as long as we get CL so that we can get better players so that we can get CL the next season so that we can attract better players so that we can can get CL football etc etc

Sorry that I blew your paper thin criticism out of the water.
The only players we REALLY need are a striker and a central defender to replace Ade and King/Gallas. Beyond that it would be either squad players or to replace someone already here in the first XI (ie. Modric leaving).
That team would be good enough to challenge for top 4. Longer term we'd like to upgrade our first XI to challenge even higher up the table, but it's not a massive rebuilding.

Levy wanted Santini, got him, and it was Arnesen who wnated Jol and installed Jol as first team coach
Santini was a disaster, Arnesen convinced Levy that Jol was the right man to take over
Jol was not a Levy managerial appointment, and proved it by getting rid as soon as Jol hit a sticky patch. Never gave the bloke a chance
Jol was good, and i agree with your last sentence

2 CB's, a keeper and 2 strikers, plus replacing Modders and VDV if they leave?
That ALOT.

So any success is by luck and all the bad brick is Levy's fault? Cool.

This. We do NOT need major rebuilding. However, if the new manager wants to change the entire playing style and formation then we may need a major rebuilding, but that is down to the Chairman's/Manager's choice and NOT because it actually needed to be done.
