I dont begrudge him the joy of winning they trophy at all. He has done a lot of good for this club as well as a lot of bad. He just is tired and out of ideas and needs to go. I dont hate the guy, he just needs to give it up.

True but not many people pay over the odds for anything nowadays. Plus all those things you have mentioned are factored into the price including the 700m of debt and 230m net of owed transferred fees.
He really pissed me off after the CL debacle.
If you had Spurs in your blood you would be thinking "had a taste of it now let's build on it" but he goes back into his shell and does fvck all.
Time for change

25 years is too long for anyone to lead any organisation.
I do think that deep down he wants to at least step away from the day to day. Otherwise he wouldn't be hiring people like Paratici, or do the Munn gamble. That Fabio is apparently coming back and Vinai coming in also tells me that he probably wants to leave the football to football people at this point.
But how things went and his probable control freak tendencies probably mean that we never will be fully rid of him. Even if he finds people that he can delegate to.
How is this one going by the way.
We can't and won't win anything under ENIC/Levy?
Seems a touch silent for whatever reason, or is it now we don't win as much as we should....

We won despite of him TBF. When is the next trophy coming?
We should be competing on all fronts every year.
Please refer to the historic process

Ange in or Ange out, I don’t know. I don’t believe we won the EL in spite of him but I wholeheartedly believe we won it in spite of Levy and Enic. I’m fairly certain that reading between the lines of ‘people within the club didn’t agree we should focus on the EL’ means that Levy and co were dead against it.
Only a muppet cant see this.
Yes, mounts up to the amount quoted by Forbes !
Nope, Levy gets his flowers.
But he has his CL Final moment all over again.
That time he didn’t invest in the squad and and we didn’t capitalize.
This time he has an opportunity to put that right.
Go and sign the level of players in their prime that everyone says that he won’t/can’t and there’s no sticks left to beat Levy with
Yep. Levy needs to bow out now, on a high, and maybe go spend some more time with that reanimated corpse in the Bahamas.
Ok. I’m just going on Chelsea being sold for £2.5b, plus another £1.75b of guaranteed investment. And that was an asset in a fire sale. That didn’t have the stadium, training ground, external events, etc that we do. So I took all that into account and I’d be surprised if we are worth £100m less than the basic amount Chelsea went for.
Fair point, but it does seem Chelsea were slightly overpaid for by Boehly et al. You're right when you said the club is worth what someone will pay for it.
Very different scenarios
First, the Chavs have been far more successful and consistent winners on the field. That helped their brand growth and worldwide revenue generation off the field and when working out the value of something you have to take into account forecast revenue and growth over the period of ownership. It's only in the last year or so that we have caught up off the field with the new stadium enabling us to reach similar revenue to the other big six. If we could have continued success on the field then we could and should surpass them in terms of revenue.
Second, Roman was unable to negotiate a profit from the sale of the club. The British Govt. have frozen the proceeds of the sale into a UK bank account only to be used to support humanitarian causes in Ukraine. Therefore, it's likely the asking price of £2.5b is probably about right for them but was accepted to get the deal done quickly. The 1.75b investment is not guaranteed. It's planned investment.
All in all, our off field revenue streams help us but not having regular Champions League football hurts us. Nobody has guaranteed Champions League but the big six should be in it 4 times out of 5. You can't really say that about us right now. I think somewhere between 2.5b and 3b will be our spot but if we can become Champions League regulars then 3b+ is not off the table. You have to remember, their is a sizeable debt waiting for any new owners.
