You've been saying that Levy didn't listen to Poch over his calls for a rebuild and chose to go with Jose who said we didn't need one for years- these two posts are from only a couple of months back - there's literally 5 years of posts saying the exact same thing. Now it's not only did Levy listen to Poch over the need for a rebuild it's that Mourinho was tasked with a rebuild that he wasn't even asking for!
All this because you can't argue against the logic that if Ange needs time to see a rebuild through so does the club (hence the 4 / 5 rebuild crap)
He didn’t listen to Poch as he sacked him when he had just started his rebuild: if he had listened to Poch he wouldn’t have (ridiculously IMO) jettisoned Poch just as his rebuild had finally commenced.
If Levy had listened to Poch he would’ve given him at least 2 years and 4 to 5 transfer windows to complete a rebuild. He instead did the very worst thing and let him start one only to give up on it.
He then fell for the oldest trick in the book from Mourinho who told him we didn’t need a rebuild and we could win the league with the existing squad. Of course looking in from the outside Mourinho would know much better than the man currently in the job, who had been there for 5 years doing extremely well but knowing that the squad had gone stale and some of their legs had gobe.
Mourinho then arrives realises that Pochettino was right (surprise surprise) and starts demanding his own new players.
The chairman lets him spend some money only to eventually sack him because Jose weirdly actually wants to prioritise winning a cup when we’ve got to the final. I mean who wants to win a cup when there’s a 5 percent chance of 4th place to be strived for!?!
We then go again with the next man who gets some more money to spend for his different system and a quarter of a season before he is binned (for another manager with a completely different system) and so on and so forth….
If the club want to embark upon a 5 year rebuild (I think a lot longer than Poch would’ve needed iif the club had invested properly in the recruitment department) then they should’ve been picking a manager (probably one with a similar style of play to Pochettino) and sticking with them through that rebuild.
I say Ange needs time for the very reason of what we have seen in the last 5 years…. Rebuilds need patience and to have a coherent strategy. Investing a bit in a rebuild only to tear that up and start again and do so over and over is unlikely to achieve a good result, instead it is likely to just waste money.
If the club really do want to keep chop and changing managers then we need to be far more like Brighton and at least bring in managers with a similar style of play so that we don’t have to continually start again.
5 years and still counting…. Just how long do tou think a rebuild should take and why in your World does the club get 5 years (and counting) for a rebuild but a manager can’t have more than 18 months? Despite the overwhelming evidence from the last 5 years and 5 managers that more time is needed?
