People can say what they want about Levy but when he was the tight fisted penny pinching twat in charge we were consistently top 6 for a decade or more.
Since covid and the move to DoF and eventual sacking of Levy and now we have two blind mice (vinai and Lange) leading us down to the championship.

Igor isn't working.
Send the memo.
Send the memo.
Which is where a club with our fanbase and our wealth should be. But instead of capitalising he refused to prioritise the football team and oversaw our decline to the fucking shite we're seeing today.
Now is NOT the fucking time to defend, support or absolve Daniel Levy for this fucking mess.
Read the room, open your eyes, and show some fucking respect to our long suffering fanbase.
He's not been seen since
So the chairman had us precisely where we should be. 6th biggest club in the country in the top 6.
Absolve... Odd suggestion as no such thing was done.
Merely pointing out that things have got a lot worse in the last few seasons since we moved to a DoF model and later a CEO. Whereas this wasn't the case when baldy micro-managed every aspect of the club.
We may have underachieved and underutilised resources somewhat when Levy was overbearing in his control, but we were stable. Moving to Paratici, Munn, Lange, Vinai has made us very instable. Surely that's plain for all to see. The change in management structure has made us worse not better.
Who hired every single one of those cowboys you just mentioned?
Case in point.
Wouldn't surprise me after 25 years as chairman he didn't have his own private season tickets.
And when he was fired he'd have lost his directors section privilages and not have means to go to games.
There were rumours he was banned from the stadium. I don't think that's true, unless he was up to some seriously shady shit that we don't know about.
The Lewis family want to buy out Levy.
Levy and that Newcastle bird, backed by Oman want to buy out Lewis family.
Levy had secured major investment, but the Lewis family rejected it as it would have diluted their shares. Instead. Lewis family injected 100m and Levy forced out.
Ask yourself, In whose best interest is it to devalue the club?
The board is now made up of 3 accountants - not football people. What is happening on the pitch is aligning with their plan.

I think they have instructed some kind of audit / investigation into his financial management of the club haven't they?
It wouldn't be unusual for him to be excluded from the club until it reaches it's conclusion
I'm not really privvy to it to be honest. I was just glad he was gone. I didn't really do too much digging or pay attention to him, just seen the odd post from twitter on here.
It'd be fucking hilarious if he was dipping into it though.
I really want to hold your hand and guide you out of Plato's cave...
when youre in the shit you dont gamble with someone with no experience
Barcodes did that with Shearer when an Allardyce wouldve kept them up
He had no experience of management full stop

Pretty much sums up where I am with Lewis, Levy, Vinai and that clown Lange.
There was far less disparity in revenue between the big clubs and the rest in those days so it wasn't so seismic. Even Man Utd went down in the 70's.
Today, we're talking about the 9th wealthiest club in world football with revenue that dwarfs every other premier league club outside of the Big Six.
It's totally unprecedented and not comparible to a totally different era some half a century ago
It's tantamount to criminal negligence that relegation is even a possibility
Yes. It's fair to say it is the worst mis-management of a big club by owners in modern football history. The only other thing that possibly is up there I can think of is Glasgow Rangers tax evasion.
And the Juventus match fixing.
