Next Manager?

It seems Levy’s rep and 20 years of work is coming home to roost sadly.

He should try everything in his power to convince a top DoF to join the club and then get Rodgers or ETH.

If he will not or cannot do this he should leave the club along with Lewis.

It would be a clear sign that they cannot take us any further.

Could very well be the case.
 
@AjaxDeSuperYids - spot on. I'm aware I'm..on message on this a lot, but ENIC and Levy are the two biggest roadblocks to literally everything at the club right now.

No ambitious manager will want to work with the sort of shackles that were placed on Poch. If they ask for players to be moved on - too bad for them, Levy won't sanction a loss, even on useless wastes of space and air like Sanchez, Sissoko et al. They'll have to wait until deadline day while Levy haggles over ten quid to keep up his stupid 'tough negotiator' act, because that's all he knows how to do on the footballing side of it.

If they ask for players brought in - ha, good luck getting your first choices out of the skinflints that own us.

Fine, maybe the manager will content himself with overhauling the backroom staff. However, the backroom staff are a morass of mediocrity, but evidently have the chairman's confidence. Steve 'I hate January' Hitchen is proof enough of that. Good luck getting rid of that lot.

There are organizational reasons why we have won nothing under these useless deadweights. As Poch once clearly stated, the club needs to have an organizational culture that focuses excellence, on trophies as the key goal - and all else will follow from there. That comes from the top - and unfortunately, with the useless social leech of a Bahamian tax exile and Levy up top, that culture will never arrive, because the first and foremost concern will always be to avoid the owners having to put in a single penny, and to maintain mediocrity as long as it's profitable.

One of the reasons I want Rangnick is because he doesn't accept that - he fights with people if he feels they aren't up to what he envisions his clubs to be. Someone needs to fight Levy and his utter mediocrity for anything to change. A yes man like Potter or Parker changes nothing in that regard.

We may lose one of the greatest academy products in our history because of the miserable cowardice of our ownership in not building a team to support him. One of the greatest gifts we could have been given, gone because Levy and Lewis are most useless owners we could have had the misfortune to be bought by twenty years ago.

What can honestly, truly change until those two f*ck off?

Was/is going to happen at some point
 
Poch was not from a fashionable or high profile club, and to be honest is probably the best appointment of the ENIC era.

I think Potter would be a very good choice, as he is an understated bloke who does'nt need to be centre of attention, and his team creates more chances than pretty much any other in the division - they just don't have the strikers to finish the chances.

I hope we are not lured into hiring a manager based on the perception of fans - there was a huge "Poch who" phalanx when we started who wanted Van Gaal and while Mourinho was a strange fit for our heritage on paper he was the most successful manager we've ever hired - which should have been a precursor to years of trophies.

Rodgers is not for this cycle I don't think - he may well manage us in the future, but prising him away from Leicester while they are headed for Champions League and potentially an FA Cup win behind him, is going to be hard. 3 years from now he could well be our manager.
I didn’t want Poch
I wanted De Boer
 
ETH comments are not of a man wanting to leave
Maybe managers don’t want to move considering the whole world is a odd place now and more so for overseas guys coming to the UK with new ever changing restrictions
 
Erik ten Hag did not reject #Tottenham and Daniel Levy decided to take a step back from negotiations after 48 hours of talks [
@FabrizioRomano
]

reporting that Levy cut talks with him.

Was our number one target saying he would come now?
Maybe he wasn’t number one, but one of several we wanted to talk too
I’d never trust anything from Romano though
He is the master of reporting stuff after the fact as new news
 
Ajax is a far easier job, they have the league sown up each year. Ten Hag is working with his pals and he's very comfortable. That is all. People get their knickers in a right old twist.

You know what the great thing is about Levy? You can rest assured he will do his darndest to get the best person in for the job. And I have every confidence in him to do just that. Dutch managers have not always done too well over here. It is a big step up. We are not in a bad position, with attractive players, new stadium, supreme training facilities. Just the smell of Mourinho which the right man or women needs to refresh. Btw are there any female managers leading men's teams? How long until there are?
