    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Let's hope the same can be said about the next transition (whenever that is, assuming we're still alive)

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I hope we stay with a fairly strong long term focus and don't go down the road of an obsession with short term results, big name signings on big wages and all that. Squad wise we're in a really strong position now, I really like Frank too. So nothing against some short term focus (as we saw...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I remember the 90s (somewhat). Year after year of the season being essentially over and meaningless at some point late winter with the occasional season where it mattered because of the threat of relegation. Last season was a familiar feeling in that regard, luckily with the exception of the...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    It's not a guarantee and short term there will be a lot of other factors in play. But infrastructure, spending power and getting consistent CL football is imo the best way to increase our odds of getting trophies. Infrastructure, spending power, the Crouch moment (CL football) is not in itself...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Spot on. And that was done while also getting projects like the training ground and stadium done, things that should set us up for decades. Could perhaps done more on the pitch had the short term been prioritised, but would that actually have been any better. For sure he's made mistakes. But...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I don't think that has to be caveated and it was pretty obvious that people aren't saying we've been more successful than Real Madrid on results, league position and trophies over the last 25 years. The starting point is what Levy is being evaluated based on.

    Yes, it was even obvious to me 😉 I just added an opinion to that. Could have been clearer that I got what you were saying.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Appreciate your ability to see different perspectives and nuance. I just hope the change will be the positive you and others have hoped for. I've long been very much open to a change of chairman, but unsure if a change would be for the better or worse (or mostly similar). As with players and...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    If there's a cash injection we probably can. If not there will have to be some balance. Regardless we're in a much stronger position doing so in part as a result of the work Levy has om done.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Liverpool were a bigger club than us from well before Levy taking over. Both benefitted massively from being at or close enough to the top at the time of huge money disparity entering football consistently. The "top 4" as CL money became huge. It's been very difficult for any club to get to a...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Surprising news... Thank you and good luck Daniel Levy. I think he's done a good job here overall. Hope we end up stronger as a result of it. Time will tell I guess.

    Just imagine a world where even if a player was having a poor game or wasn't performing over time the support from the stands was mostly supportive and encouraging. Not going to happen, and just to be clear not saying that people aren't allowed to criticise or voice their dissatisfaction. Of...

    Mikey Moore

    I think readiness also depends on ready to do what exactly. Haven't seen him at all up there, but seems like they're really struggling and dysfunctional. Possible to be ready to do a job, as he did in some games last season for a team that was playing alright. But for a team that's really...

    Squad

    Fully agreed. Apart from the 11111111111 and would rather play a 4-6-0 than 4-5-0 and playing with 10 men 😉 Just using a 4-2-3-1 as a starting point to look at squad quality and depth. We have several fairly versatile players now, should suit Frank well.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth ***

    Super impressive how despite them losing several key defenders from last season they were so well drilled and cohesive. I think that's in part three benefit of having a very settled way of playing. Drill that, get good at that. I definitely don't mind Frank's flexibility. But it may take more...

    Xavi Simons

    Nah, expecting him to be the perfect fit game changer from his first game. Then go from strength to strength from there 😉

    Randal Kolo Muani

    Yeah. Having several threats is so important. Be it left, right or centre or having more than one good ball progressing player or more than one holdup player. For some things you can get away with one if that player is exceptional at it. Kolo Muani seems to offer a bit of everything to a good...

    Brennan Johnson

    I think as the season progresses, and maybe already fairly soon, Johnson will end up starting on the bench most games unless there are injuries and/or rotation. Up to him to respond well to that competition for places. Hopefully Frank will be able to start him when he sees the game as...

    Squad

    I think that's spot on. And I think the strength of the squad will do us a lot of good, the lack of that was a big part of the downturn from that "blowing teams away for fun" peak. What is really exciting about this squad now is the amount of players where there's at least some realistic hope...

    Squad

    I agree with that. Do you see Kolo Muani mostly as a striker for us? I think he'll be used both on the left and up front depending on what we need and of course how well he does in those positions. Not a winger type like Savinho and more of an inside forward from the left, but I think that...
