:adelol:The fans called for Redknapp's head for cocking up 3rd place. The fans called for AVBs head and it was promptly taken

Very funny - so the buck stops where?
There used to be a regime over there....
And now we have a squad that is a mish-mash of Jol, Redknapp, AVB, Baldini, Poch & the academy.Our squad is a mess not fit for purpose and we remain in transition every season, who takes accountability for this, it seems to me it's hard to blame the managers as to are only here for 5 mins.
The occasional idiot doesn't speak for the masses.
Redknapp with tax charges & England job still managed 4th while being backed with Saha & Nelsen. Anyone with 1/2 a football brain shouldn't have wanted him gone.
AVB went in to that Liverpool game with us in a position where a win would have had us leapfrog them but for some reason was being talked about being on his last chance. 12 games into a new season with 1/4 of the squad being new!
So the constant buying in payers the manager doesn't want then sacking the manager is good running of a club? Our squad is a mess not fit for purpose and we remain in transition every season, who takes accountability for this, it seems to me it's hard to blame the managers as to are only here for 5 mins.
You're assuming Baldini was exclusively making those choices, and that they were all our first choices. I don't think either are true.I think the issue around that would be perhaps that Levy got Baldini because both
a) AVB requested him
b) The fans didn't want Levy continuing to control transfers
Baldini seemed to buy the players without any real thought as to who the manager wanted, and we've been awful since Baldini, so he would be the party responsible imo.
This is based on manager honesty, as Sherwood was a classic for 'I told Dan to sign him' for every player we had in form and 'I told Dan not to sign him' for every player that wasn't.
The fans called for Redknapp, AVB's and Sherwood's head? I must have missed the mass demonstrations and torrent of chants demanding all these managers leave our club.
You're assuming Baldini was exclusively making those choices, and that they were all our first choices. I don't think either are true.
He negotiates for players. He likely works with Pochettino and Levy to put together lists of targets (there is never a list of one guy) and then makes the approach.Technically, it's his job to be responsible for them regardless of choice.
If it isn't then I don't have a clue what he does for a living.
Yeah, that's where you're going wrong mate.If you use this forum as an example then there was more than enough views to support that matter. It's not unthinkable that the club look at fan opinion in places such as this, then collectively with fans booing at games they make the decision.
I certainly missed the torrents of chants and demonstrations representing the opposite.
