Have you been reading Atomic Habits?Create an Innovation/R&D unit whose sole focus would be to continuously find ways in which anything related to on-field performance could be done 1% better.
What can be changed to improve player nutrition by 1%? How can injuries be reduced by 1%? How can scouting processes be adjusted to identify youth talent 1% more accurately? What could be done to reduce goals conceded at home by 1%?
I would give this department an annual budget equal to the mean transfer value of an average premier league player.
and sort out the sky bar or whatever it is calledBuild the cheese room!
Rehire Paul Barber from Brighton and leave the buildingIf you could be Daniel Levy for just one day, and do just one thing, what would it be?
Other than giving Snow White a right good seeing to

Completely agree re supporting team but levy / Enic chants can still be done before game, at HT and also probably most importantly because it will get on TV do it at breaks in play like injuries etcAny levy out chants at the game yesterday
away fans normally the most vocal
personally think we need to support Ange and the team whilst making the anger towards Levy clear
Yep, that's probably the way to do it and almost certainly how it'll happen I think.Completely agree re supporting team but levy / Enic chants can still be done before game, at HT and also probably most importantly because it will get on TV do it at breaks in play like injuries etc
Didn’t hear any during the game. There were chants on the concourse underneath the standAny levy out chants at the game yesterday

The managerial appointments from Jose onwards really showed up how Levy is a poor judge of what it takes to make a winning club. I know many people will disagree, but I actually think hiring Jose/Conte is showing ambition to win stuff, but I don't think Levy got close to recognising how much of a culture change those managers required, and he certainly didn't deliver on that front.It‘s tricky as reports were under Poch perhaps he was getting stubborn and hindering recruitment, but that summer we signed Lo a Celso and Ndombele, we left ourselves massively open with no decent defensive midfielders plus our defence was ageing and kegs gone and then made the mistake firstly of bringing in Mourinho and then the debacle of the summer we bought Nuno in - should have bought in Ten Haag for example.
Then we bought Conte in, who really wasn’t suited to us as a club - understand why we did that but if we hadn’t messed up so badly with Mourinho and Nuno perhaps we wouldn't have had to.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing obviously, and had either of those managers won something with us then perhaps people would be more forgiving of the crap on the pitch. I'm personally guilty of thinking those "pragmatic" managers were a good route to follow in the search for silverware. But the lack of identity after Poch has put the club in a tailspin, and that responsibility can only fall at Levy's door.
If Levy can get our identity/philosophy/DNA or whatever you want to call it back on track, and then keep it there whilst other people make the playing squad decisions, that would at least be a start. But I have very little faith in him being able to manage it. I don't agree with the elaborate theories about no ambition myself, but I just don't think Levy is suited to the modern game.
You are part of the problem if this is how you thinkI hope there weren't. Yesterday should have been about Ange and the players.

This is such a silly post and the sort of comment that ensures the purple and yellow folks on twitter failed to gain any traction.You are part of the problem if this is how you think

This is why Levy/ENIC out isn't taken seriously enough. You respond to people like a child. Supporting Ange and the players isn't accepting things as they are. It is simply getting behind the manager and players we currently have. As was suggested above your post, Levy out chants during stoppages in play would be the best route to take.You are part of the problem if this is how you think

There absolutely should be protests and feelings made clear, but not at the detriment of the team or the match.
Do it before / after but make sure you show your full support the team on the pitch. Not rocket science is it.
