I think the point most fan's have come to realise is that Levy choses to dither when he is under pressure. Or thinks he wants all the facts and calculations before he makes a decision. Sometimes in business you have to make an urgent calculated guess to get ahead of competition, so you get the best product/ employee into your company first.
The only time he really took a real gamble was, when he appointed Poch, and then when he fired Poch.
When he sacked Jol (Poch) and hired Ramos (Jose) he sacked a much loved manager who understood club and appointed a trophy winner in Ramos.
He then quickly sacked Ramos (Jose) and appointed AVB (Conte) a manager who is very rigid in his style of play and too stubborn to listen to others and who rubs people up the wrong way. Who looks great when his philosophy is clicking and working.
When sacked AVB (Conte) it needed to be done. That's when he took a calculated risk before anyone else and appointed Poch (Gamble). It worked and he rightful took the plaudits for a very good decision.
It started as a partnership but soon he started to need to ask Poch to work without A and then workout B and then C, the more he asked of Poch, the more Poch accommodated, and we were still improving and competing at the Top table. Suddenly Levy's ego began to grow, it wasn't a partnership relationship any more, he could demand and Poch would accommodate, Levy became King Levy. A megalomaniac had been created.
When Poch (Jol) realised he now needed to ask for more resources, King Levy decided I'm the Man! Not you! I'm a gambler, I'm the best Negotiator, the best Chairman, I made you I can replace you. I'm sitting at the top table with best shiny stadium, I'm the envy of the world, who should I be rubbing shoulders with... I want most shiny Manager....let me replace this peasant who's tiring me and didn't get me my Big shiny cup.
Call Mr Jose (Ramos)!!!
That is when fate decided to slap him down back his humble level. Everything he touched began touch failed, he began to dither and delay, doubt himself with each wrong decision, he needed more Data before signing players and more Data before signing Managers. Nothing works.
....Fate may have decided he's been punished enough and now given him an opening to start again... Is he too scarred to learn from the past? Will he keep dithering to oblivion (exit).
Or will he self reflect, learn, and humbly pull his socks up and start acting like a real, entrepreneurial business man, making smart, swift calculated business decisions in recruitment....
That's my opinion....
