Prefer he doesn't go to Russia and face insane levels of racism.
 
He does both. I know he’s involved in ENIC’s strategy, that part is fine. It’s the operational aspects of his CEO role that strangle our ability to challenge. Weak leader, who knows how to make money
He was instrumental in our rise up the table. He has to have been as CEO.

I think he took his eye off the ball ('scuse the pun) during the stadium build. A project like that, which I believe he was into every detail on, will take up virtually all of your time. As a result, we've managed the Footballing side very poorly.

He's put us in a position where we are able to spend far beyond what we have ever been able to in our history, but I think he's trusted the wrong people to oversee the Footballing side. By the end of this window, we will have spent in excess of half a billion quid on transfers, but regressed regardless. Considering the player trading we did to get to actually challenging for a title, the failures over the past 4-5 years have been eye watering. We used to be able to pick a talent.

I put that down to Hitchen, but the buck ultimately stops with Levy.

Now that the stadium is up, running and generating the revenue required, his focus is more on the Football side of the business. That, to me, doesn't mean he's interfering in the Football, but that he's now restructuring to get back to that player trading success we had previously.

He's now invented a role for Munn, that provides yet another buffer between him and the team. We've had fans screaming for a DoF, but I suspect we already have him in Paratici. Take away the Juventus shenanigans, and what you have is a guy who actually does the job well. He might not be able to do the deals himself, but that doesn't stop him from advising/instructing the guys who can. So I think that the structure is there now, particularly with Ange joining it, whereby Levy's only real "involvement" in the Footballing side is to essentially set the budget and sign of on the cheques, so to speak. Of course, the Footballing management will still need to "sell" him the deal, but if they have data, scouting analysis and a manager saying "he's the one I want" to back it up, then we know Levy isn't afraid to sign off. He had to have sanctioned the Richarlison, Lo Celso and Ndombele purchases right? He's sanctioned over a half billion spend over the last few years FFS!

It's early days, I do think he's working along those lines, but I also believe that he has to be courageous, i.e. get in the right players regardless of what they cost.

I know you've already made your mind up on him, but mine will be made at the end of this window. If we bring in the requisite talent, addressing our glaring weaknesses, then I'll be more convinced that this is a true rebuild with an end goal in close sight. If we manage to do that within the set budget then great, but if we need to go over budget to get the right players in, but refuse to, then he'll have used up any goodwill I had towards him.
