Excellent analysis, and a refreshingly clear-eyed take on the situation. I wonder if Daniel Levy sees it this way? I'd like to hope so, but some of his managerial appointments and firings give pause for thought. Perhaps like so many fans, he's so eager to try and win tomorrow he hires and fires at the cost of building solid foundations. [Doubtless also influenced by an impatient and strident fanbase.] Let's hope that after the abysmal mistake of alienating and then firing Poch, compounded by three appointments of varying awfulness—Mourinho, Nuno, Conte—he's finally going to give Ange the time to assemble and shape the kind of squad he clearly wants to build.
