Apology? That will be a NO! Now get back to spending your whole life on here and keep antagonising and trolling for all your worth, theirs a good chap. Me, I’m going to carry on with life and hope this club that we all support achieves all the things it deserves. And maybe you might want to step back from the keyboard and take a look in the mirror, and wonder why people give you grief. Most people only respond in kind , so give it some thought eh?

No arguments there - I just remember as a kid in 80’s…. We had amazing players, biggest club in the south and felt we could challenge for the title every year.

They’ve done a great job getting us back in the mix (took 15 years), but I can’t look past the game is glory and utter faux ambition in their early years

Is that because we can't or the previous alternative was to throw dier on which is like subbing on a man holding a placard saying :

"Please score here"

You clearly do not understand finance.

The FC belongs to......? ENIC + Levy. The Football team is only a portion of the FC finance.

Let's take Woolwich. Hypothetically speaking, let's say the value of the club is 10 billion. An amount 2 billion gets invested to Emirates Stadium, increasing cost but thereby increasing Asset Value, to not 12 billion but to 14 billion (If you don't live in cave, youll know fixed property escalates in value. And if you know property, you'll know Good renovation mostly increases value with more than the renovation cost). They invested the extra wealth into new players because they value winning.

Now if you have a Football Team worth 10 billion and you invest 2 billion into players, if you are extremely lucky or wise, the team will probably valued at very little more, say 10.2 Billion (Just look at how Gil, Ndombele, Spence, Winks...... Depreciated in value). Football players are not necessarily a cash cow. The better they play the higher salaries the players demand. We don't pay that much in salaries (Compared to other top 4), so if we finish top 4 our earnings is almost similar to that City but our players costed us way less. Why do you think we almost get to winning but we don't.

Furthermore older more experienced players are generally a liability. They start loosing value but their wages increases especially when bought at their peak. Levy doesn't operate like this. He buys young in the hope improvement. The youngsters cost less and earn less. They have to still prove themselves and are able to increase their values. This Levy Likes, hence our squad is what it is. Hence he didn't mind loosing Kane.

So when idiots like yourself say the TFC has increased in value, Yes it has. Since Levy is the owner, he is now richer. However the Football team, clearly has not seen the Growth. I hope you wake up someday. Until them I'll stand alone and say, "LEVY and ENIC OUT!".

I was halfway through replying to this but, as others have said, this isn't the ENIC thread, so I'll leave it at that.
 
Hojbjerg out and Gallagher in would legit be a 10/10 window, only because we've got 3 players in the manager wanted but the amount of piss it would boil with the Chavs fans, they would absolutely lose their shit and I'm here for it.
