Ok I generalised abit much there.

I think his negotiation tactics work better for buying less established players who we identify as being on the up. This is because we pay a decent price for those players and the clubs we buy off probably see it as a good tradeoff between what they get at the time from us and the likelyhood of that said player kicking on and being worth more if they keep them.

Eg, vdv, udogie, vicario. These are more likely to come off because we have lists of potential alternatives we can move onto.

But when it comes to getting players we really need, specific players of quality hes a nightmare and ill equipped in the modern game.

On "the up" and when their current value is ostensibly lower than what his ego has calculated as their true sealing. He has a pattern of projecting his investment background on to managerial appointments and players alike:
  • AVB - His experience at Chelscum lowered his stock value, Levy thought he could wash off the dirt and take pride in snapping up the Porto invincible under everyone's noses.. buy low, sell high, how'd that turn out
  • Mourinho - Serial winner, no way could the premier league have outgrown his tactics, Levy knew better than everyone else.. buy low, sell high, how'd that turn out
  • Conte - Serial winner, back to back club fallouts, Mr Levy knew better, he could tame him... buy low, sell high, how'd that turn out
And recently with players:
  • Timo Werner - He was one of Europe's best strikers weren't he!? He couldn't be as washed as we saw with our own eyes during his first loan spell, just you wait... buy low, sell high.. how'd that turn out
  • Mathys Tel - Wonderkid gets shunned out by Kompany.. couldn't be a reason behind that, no.. he did sweet fuck all during his loan spell but Levy's a genius don't ya know! Let's take up a spot in the squad for him and turn him around granted there's a new manager coming in... let's see how that turns out
Funny how most of Paratici's finds are starting to look like the pillars of the squad - Everyone is begging for Kulu & Udogie to recover, Bentancur will get a new contract and Romero is our club captain on a new deal. I wouldn't say Paratici was perfect, but he moved like John Wick, he laid the foundations of what we are today, his absence from a full-time role marked the beginning of us reverting to typical Levy type.

I just want owners who want the club to compete with our rivals and peers. And do everything within their power to make that happen.
I don't care what race, religion or ethnicity they are. This aversion I keep seeing towards Arabs is borderline racism imv

I agree to a certain extent but I’m troubled by the amount of English clubs that are owned by any kind of foreign nationals regardless of race. It just feels a bit sad in a way.
I know it’s a business, a money making opportunity and has been for many years, but it just doesn’t sit well with me that the thing that was made here no longer is what it was. I’m Irish and I’m not a big “but we’re British” kind of guy even though my mum was from Devon but it’s just a huge shame that it’s come to this. But time moves on and it is what it is I suppose.

And this is why he can not take the club any further , he doesn’t have the skillset or intellect to deal with elite or game changing players. They and their agents know their worth & know they’ll have plenty of elite clubs interested

It’s like he goes to a record store trying to find bargains but the shop owner knows the value of everything

If he fails this window he has to step aside , something he should have done years ago

Plenty of contrary posters on here would argue that he should have taken the 200M euros.
 
A shocking bench today speaks volumes.

Depth just isn't there. Really dangerous behaviour from the board heading into a busy season and a champions league campaign.

Massive problem having non football people running the show and with other priorities apart from football.

Saboteurs in charge.

“Daniel Levy has said they want to win the CL & PL. Do you think they’re behaving like they want to achieve those ambitions?”

Well. Do we?
