People say that Levy's only interest is getting into the champions league.

If thats the case does he spend the money this summer to try and get us back there?

Anount of money needed to fix the squad in the short term could be 200-300m so would it even be worth it net.

Deuterz Deuterz explained it better
 
In other words, levy has fucked this right up

Yeah we're not in a strong position. We are now going to be reliant on over-performing to a large degree, as we did under Pochettino. The hope was for many fans after appointing Conte & getting top 4 that we'd be able to flex a bit.

I don't think that's happening. We could go the Woolwich route and take a gamble on big investments to try and force top 4, but is that how ENIC operate? Is it how they've ever operated? No. Expecting it is folly.
 
Doubt it. Top 4 is the main goal as it makes us financially sustainable & powers revenue growth, but he won't risk said financially sustainabiltiy to force the issue. He'll look at the amount of teams battling for 4th next season and will see a big financial gamble on 4th as not worth it.

We spend what we earn & frankly when all the loan to buys are paid off and the dust clears with no European football money coming in, what we earn isn't going to get us a big window. And Lewis is not going to be dipping in to his pocket. Next summer will be reliant on sell to buy and being clever in the market imo - so we better all cross our fingers and hope the next DoF is a wizard.
So a similar window to 2021 then. Apparently 5th will get Champions league next season. I dont know how much of a difference that will make.

Deki and Porro will cost 70m. Kane will get sold for at least 80 which covers that. Then we probably spend 60m on a GK and two CB's. Probably get some loans in as well.

3-5-2 is the formation that suits our players. We'll probably play Deki in midfield with Bissouma and Lo Celso until Bentancur is back and have Richarlison and Son as a 2 up front.

It won't be pretty but I'd expect to challenge for 6th which gets us into a competition that we can actually win and get Levy his champions league money.

We will need to replace Kane if he goes. No way we sell Kane and don't sign a CF - whether that's Toney or someone else. We're not going to go in to next season relying on just Richarlison at CF when he doesn't have 1 league goal. They're not that incompetent, we only got away with only having one CF for years because it was the best one in England.

Sell to buy = a genuinely good new DoF could have room to work by selling Emerson (and bringing back Spence), selling GLC, selling/loaning Ndombele, selling Rodon etc. The biggest issue facing this club in the summer is selling the dross and being able to re-invest. Paratici failed hideously on that front, but its a fucking hard job.
 
I'm going to be so gutted seeing Poch in his Chelsea tracksuit. Utterly gutted.

Fact is, I'm not sure he is 100% the answer but the facts of the matter are we're a total mess, it seems we've no idea what we (and by that I mean the club itself) have no idea what to do next, the guy is available right now but we're looking the gift horse in the mouth. We're watching him go to Chelsea while we decide which bottom half manager we want to pounce on when they get sacked in the summer. Thursday could be messy.

I am dreading it. Love the man, absolutely despise the fact this is happening and it still doesn't feel real at all.

I really couldn't bare him winning a trophy with them.
 
They say that Levy is a business mastermind, what if this is all part of his plan to get rid of us “legacy” fans?

He must know we’re at the brink, all it needs is turgid football and embarrassment for us to turn around and say “fuck this, I’m done”.
 
I reckon ENIC have overseen more humiliating batterings now than Sugar.
I remember 1-6 at home Vs Chelsea and the 6-1 and 7-1 away to very good Newcastle teams.

Under ENIC we've lost 5 nil at home to Liverpool, 5-1 at home to City, 7-2 at home Bayern, 6 nil away to City, 6-1 and 5-1 away to Newcastle

These absolute thrashing are more common than they ever were.

His business, and that of ENIC is focused on non-THFC activities. All he needs, is an asset worth a minimum amount. As long as we're a PL team with some form of euro football, his job is done.

Without Kane we'll be near the bottom.

If he could sell out the stadium with tourists , he’d bite your hand off

There is no comeback from tourists . They don’t complain . Fans seem to be a headache for him

What will most likely happen is we sell kane to Manu for 60m or so and get weghorst or whatever he is called back.

Levy is good at those deals with manu...
