I just don't think Levy et al are actually that responsive to fans. Though I think they sometimes *use* fan reactions, e.g. with Conte, to take pressure off themselves when things are going badly. But that only goes so far and works for so long.

I think basically by scapegoating Conte after Conte spoke the plain truth about what he was dealing with, Levy used up a lot of his scapegoating capital. It won't keep working, and he's smart enough to know that.
Largely agree with your point but Conte's little rant was not just "the truth" it was self serving arse covering that pandered to fan discontent. Doesn't mean he didn't make some good points but also fuck that guy.
I don't have hard feelings either, as @jackdoyle82.bsky.social points out he had A LOT of personal crap happening, but I do think it was mainly about excusing himself and that means it needs to be untangled before treated as truth and too often it isn't.
He was completely correct in what he said but you’re right, it was self serving. It’s a shame things didn’t work with him and I don’t hate him because he had serious personal issues which hurt his tenure badly
I really hope you’re right but I’m not overly optimistic. Ultimately we need to look across at how our neighbours backed their manager through the tough times
