Decisions at board level of multi-billion pound organisations aren’t determined by a minority of consumers (fans) kicking back.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is being extremely naive!
I mean, firstly, the protests were tiny - i mean tiny in comparison to actual real protests.
Secondly.
No one was protesting before we were doing shit.
There is a very, very common misunderstanding of the 'power of protests' - I have written extensive papers about this.
They are not the cause of a system break; they are a symptom.
Had these protests been happening whilst we were doing well, and did not start after we were doing poorly, id say sure they had an impact.
But they didn't; they happened because of all the reasons Levy has been sacked.
LOL no idea what this means.
It's remembered as this incredibly smart and savvy thing because it worked so well, and it was that, but selling Coutinho to buy Van Dijk in that January window was an incredibly COURAGEOUS decision.
The fans of the ESL traitor clubs acted heroically in that saga, they deserve enormous credit and it should be a lesson in what's possible when the fans operate collectively AS FANS.
hahahahahaha, yes well done.
Only protesting when we are losing.
The losing happens first.
No protests, and I'm sure after the last few seasons, he would still be gone.
Similarly, had we finished 4th the last 4 out of 5 seasons, protests or not, he would likely still be here.
So you made it up to suit your argument.
You have no idea if the protests any any effect or not. I am not saying they did, but the banner has been on TV all day today, so regardless of how many people attended the Demonstrations they got air time.
Again , I am not saying that the demonstrations had any affect but it is also possible that the optics of the descent did have a slight bearing on the decision to sack him.
The banner I keep seeing is out of date and not correct.
I'll add that Levy didn't sign enough top quality attacking players who were in their prime during his tenure, to justify the high ticket prices at the stadium. Levy hasn't cheated the system like City and Chelsea have with finding ways around PSR, what he's done is cheated the club's own fans.Exactly.
And they don't come much murkier than Joseph Lewis
That's my understanding of what the CFT were protesting about. For some reason a faction of posters on here are against those protests. I assume those posters want the club to have high ticket prices, and a lack of top quality attacking talent. It's the Levy way.
We wanted Levy out, CFT wanted Levy out, Lewis' family trust wanted Levy out, other clubs don't want to deal with him. Seems the only people on here that wanted Levy to stay are a handful of contrarian posters. They prefer to drive a wedge of division through an otherwise unanimous opinion so they can get some attention on an internet forum.
You remember it though.
But #levyout has been going on for years! They never gave a shit about the optics before, just like they didn't give a shit now.
They had their reasons for getting rid - fan discontent wasn't one, whatever they say in their PR pieces. If it were true, Levy would have been gone years ago.
Well I saw it yesterday so yeah. My memory isn't that bad yet.
I can't prove it no lol, but I am also very confident - just because they got what they wanted, it doesnt mean that they caused anything.....
Sorry mate, you really don't have to be a genius to understand how this stuff works.
Its about money. And only about money.
Stadiums full every week, merch being sold non stop.
The main driver of a drop in revenue has been the teams performance the last few years..... sacking managers, not being able to get rid of players.
Whatever makes you feel special though!
Where on TV? Why? Banner getting Air time?

They got 140 million for Coutinho, we got 22 for Eriksen, who was better.
Enough said.
I watched Redknapp on the blower to Brazil on Talksport.
Obviously I respect what Harry did for us, but he's not all the ticket anymore, is he?
I thought it was fairly well known he got the shove from Levy because he fcuked around for months expectinbg the England job. And when he didn't get it, he demanded a new Spurs contract around the same time Levy lost his mum?
If he thinks it was all Lewis, he has his head up his arse.
And neither Redknapp nor Brazil seemed at all aware of the Joe Lewis situation and that he legally has nothing to do with THFC anymore.
Eriksen had 6 months on his contract when he left and he was absolutely fucking awful when he went.
