If you want Levy out then matches and club merchandise should be boycotted and only then your owners might act.
Look at Arsenal fans for example, moaned about and protested against Wenger for years but they didn't get their way until they started hitting Kroenke in his pocket.

True, but they have also complained and had protests about their owners, with little effect. Kronke still owns Arsenal.
Our problem is the same, it's easy enough to apply sustained pressure to get rid of a manager, but no so easy (and probably impossible) to get rid of an owner. See Newcastle as another example.
We stuck with Levy. Nobody is buying this club.
It's the constant flip-flopping that's the problem. Take Brighton, for example. Now it won't be long before Potter is snapped up by a bigger club but Brighton will be prepared for it. They'll probably already have a shortlist in place to cover that eventuality. After Hughton they ripped everything up and committed to an identity, for which they can thank Paul Barber for moulding. From there, it then makes recruitment so much easier. It narrows your pool of managers and players alike. Any new manager coming in after Potter will just continue the progressive style as that's what the club is now. It takes time and it can go wrong. In the first season under Potter, Brighton could have gone down but even that wouldn't have derailed their process. Now look at them. They weathered the storm and sit comfortably in the top 6.
Identity is everything in football. If you haven't got it as a club, you'll always fail. Only a club in turmoil can go from Poch as manager with a squad that suit his style to a Jose and expect him to be able to make it work. It's like going from Pep to Allardyce or Wenger to Hodgson. It just doesn't work. Everyone else saw it. It's probably part of the reason why Rodgers turned us down. We're not an attractive proposition anymore. We're the poisoned chalice the England job used to be.
Nuno also to blame for tactics, formation& team selection
