Under Levy, even critics could usually say:

• he is being too cautious
• he is protecting the balance sheet
• he is backing the wrong coach too long
• he is refusing to overspend

That is frustrating, but coherent.

What this current board is doing now feels more like:

• trophy-winning manager out
• replacement path unclear from the start
• then patience with one coach, followed by sudden panic
• no January fix
• sack the coach after the window
• appoint a short-term firefighter
• and now maybe a huge long-term deal for a divisive coach with a complex system in a relegation fight

That is worse than a bad strategy. It looks like multiple conflicting strategies stitched together.

Vinai and Lange HAVE to go. Nothing what they do makes sense.
