Well said. Way too much negative and frankly, unrealistic views on here recently.
So we had a bad season. Anyone would think someone died.
Some fans are pathetic if they think the best way to start the season is to undermine the new manager. If you can't give the guy a chance...Go and support Arsenal.
The crying fans should come back when we are where they think we should be.
I`m willing to give the guy a chance, but with the way Levy operates and with a DOF and manager with zero PL experience, I will not be surprised if it fails.
Ok. I get it. Fonseca's Roma also finished in 7th last season. 16 points off of fourth place.. of course I'll support whoever gets it but to make out like this is the best we can hope when we could've had Conte.. na.

True but no guarantee Conte would have been a success either. We have had George Graham and we didn't lock up this much fuss. So I'm will to give it a chance.
This is where we are? We're paying the most expensive tickets in football and supposed to lap up this shiiit?
Levy has brought these expectations upon himself. Things will get very toxic next season if we hire this bloke and he's as hopeless as his CV suggests.

Whatever makes you happy. I'll wait for the results and signings first.
For me, Fonseca is better than Potter, Parker and Mason.

I think he'd have been as close as we should possibly get to a guarantee, assuming we gave him what he wanted. But we didn't so we go again.
I take your point re: moaning. It's facking tiresome. But I think we're best off just waiting to see what happens. Right now it's a sheit situation and telling people to cheer up won't work.

Agreed, cant stop them moaning. When the first goal scored by Spurs goes in...let's hope they don't boo

It’s not about not giving him a chance. The criticism isn’t of him as such, he’ll get his chance. The criticism is of the board in the way they’ve handled matters and the reality of what this appointment is because make no mistake, chance or no chance, this isn’t a well strategized and planned selection - it’s a massively underwhelming appointment of a bang average, cheap and cheerful journeyman yes-man because we don’t have the ambition to aim any higher.
I’ll back Fonseca, it’s not his fault Levy and Lewis are a pair of uttercunts, but just because the club has actually appointed someone doesn’t let them off the hook - the appointment deserves scrutiny, as does their general running of the club. The fans aren’t happy and rightly so, Levy charges champagne money for a lemonade club and people are sick of it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm just glad Levy has stepped away from football side.

It's Christian Gross all over again.
Fonseca actually beat Ten Hag in the Europa league.
I mean this time last week Conte was literally all the rage and now we are linked to this geezer!?! I mean where is the ambition in appointing this guy?
He will be a yes man. Levy reportedly wanted King and Ryan Mason to be part of the coaching set up. Bet they will be under this man if he gets the gig. It all stinks.
But this isn't a decent narrative for some.
At least you’ll be entertaining to watch. And so will other teams when they give you a pasting.
He had a decent win % at Roma, like 52%
The guy is decent but fans want Poch/Conte and are throwing toys out of their prams.
Good article OP. Our fans need to adjust their expectations a bit.
Currently we are not the same side that was chasing top 4!

Nobody will. We've been here before. The manager will get backed, we'll all be excited for the new season but you know how it will end. It's a mid table appointment. You listen to Fonseca in his interviews, there's nothing there to suggest he'll turn this squad around. We needed someone with fire in his eyes. We've got the complete opposite.
Nobody is saying sack him before he’s appointed are we ? But, he’s not the right choice. He’s another cheapo 6th choice Levy basement bargain. I’m sick of this club and sick of Levy. You will be wanting him out by Xmas OP guaranteed, rinse and repeat - the Levy train continues. Make a stand and get these people out of our club

Has he fack. He still has the final say and writes the cheques. You think we’d be getting Fonseca if he were still at Roma and signing him meant paying them compensation? No, because he’s not worth it and that tells you all you need to know.
