    Ultimately Levy should be backing his man

    all roads lead to Levy

    If he wants to hire a manager who is all attack and no defence then give him the squad to play this way…if not then it just further proves that Levy is clueless, he’s no footballing man

    We are just part of one big ENIC sports and entertainment business

    We are not the jewel in their crown, they have used the club’s name in order to chase their bigger dream in the long run.

    The last three home games have seen us beat Man U, lose narrowly to Chelsea and lose to Liverpool which is not in any way abnormal for any season in history.

    The book stops with the incompetence of Levy, he hires the likes of Munn & Lange and fails to provide the tools required for any of his managers. Levy`s tenure has been a litany of bad football decision after bad football decision, he regularly appoints the wrong managers and when he stumbles upon the right manager, fails to back them sufficiently before sacking them as well. It has long been overdue for Levy to clear off and to hand the club over to somebody who knows what they are doing in sporting realms as well as business.

    We've spent all the money we've got! It's not Levy's fault that we were nowhere when he took over so we are taking a long time to catch up.

    Drawing with Fulham and losing to Ipswich at home would seem quite abnormal though.

    As would beating Manchester City home and away and Man Utd 3-0 away. We have had a quite bizarre series of results which prove nothing. We are in the semi of one cup and are certain to be in the knock out section of the other one. This is nowhere near sacking territory.

    let’s see if he gets Ange the players he needs

    we, as life long fans can see what the team needs

    let’s see if Levy sees it then acts upon it

    It proves severe inconsistency that hasn’t been helped by poor coaching and a lack of quality additions. That inconsistency has ironically been consistent since November last year, which shows no progression and if anything hints more towards regression.

    Something needs to be done to halt that. If the board won’t back Ange with a couple of quality additions then I’ll guarantee you he’s sacked by late Jan/ Feb - I’ve predicted as such since around October and completely stand by it.

    January window needs to be more Dejan Kulusevski, less Arnaut Danjuma.

    Tottenham in December:

    Goals conceded = 12 (20th)
    Shots faced = 85 (20th)
    Shots on target faced = 37 (20th)
    xG against = 13.5 (20th)
    Big chances faced = 25 (20th)

    Entertaining stuff

    I am guessing you guys are fed up of the entertainment theme being bandied around
    However - popped on here to say - thought when you guys attacked it was cracking stuff - reminds me of us under Klopp
    Think someone has already said it on here but you really need two even three complete squads to play how you guys are playing
    Feel for Ange with the dickhead questions coming from the press
    It’s obvious where your problems are but your injuries are quite severe (unlike Arsenals which was basically two players imho)

    not many teams have scored 3 against us - if you get just one or two of that back line back fully expect things to change for you

    if you weren’t playing us I would be hoping you got through in Carabou

    I normally cheer on the British teams in Europe and will be hoping you win the Europa- genuinely <cheers>

    Didn't need to read more than the headline. Sums it up for me. We are the most serious sports related business this side of the Atlantic, but when it comes to what happens on that small patch of grass amid a vast property and entertainment portfolio, our attitude shifts to 'making do'.

    No one takes us seriously because we don't take ourselves seriously.

    We had that fear factor for maybe a few years under Poch, but that was it.

    You can't take a club that spent £60m on Richarlison seriously. It isn't possible.

    And in that regard, we aren't all that much different to what we were in the 90s. A cute little entertaining club that everyone loved because we were the butt of all jokes.

    A long time since we had some players that would "die" for their club and kick their non performing mates you know where!
