Cheers bro'He's gone after ENIC. Levy was the front man so of course he would get the most focus.Tottenham Massive 's point still stands though. They are absolute vermin. Parasites.
Nobody is listening to you.
Nobody is agreeing with you
Nobody takes you seriously any more.
Time to read the room, old fella.
And yet you'll still reply and try and argue with me, funny that.
It’s not just the lack of investment - it’s the continued operational failures to run a successful business. Awful, zero strategy or leadership
Based purely on evidence from 20+ years.
Team stays up. Then more of the same next season. Loan players, injury prone players and players on too much money not motivated enough. And another season of struggle.
Team goes down. Fire sale to protect the asset / loan values. No money ( cash ) available to replenish the squad. Ownership already proved disinterested in football, show even less interest = a season, maybe two or three of total struggle.
The horrible reality is there is no cash in the football business and that is primarily why we have reached this breaking point at this point. The cash they did allow us, has bleed away on awful transfer business and failure on the pitch.
The clever accounting tricks are masking the real problem with football in 2026, it’s too expensive unless the ownership model invests significantly above the prize money.
Which ENIC will never in a million years do.
The only time the squad value was high was when they needed squad value to be high to borrow money, since 2019 it’s been backtrack upon backtrack and downgrade upon downgrade.
The only real hope is that they sell the football club to another entity that then becomes a separate anchor tenant, but that is not happening in 2026.
Horrible bastards, many of us saw this coming, it’s just taken longer than we feared

Those fans that spent years apologising for the cunts and shouting the rest of us down deserve this pain were suffering. They deserve every single minute of suffering and humiliation.
The rest of us most certainly do not.
I keep thinking back to that 3–0 win under Conte against the scum, when we pushed on and secured Champions League football that season. If you’d told me then that a few years later they’d be champions while we’re on the verge of relegation, I’d have never believed it.
But this is what happens when a football club is run more like an entertainment brand or investment vehicle than a serious sporting project. Stupid punts on unproven players like Odobert, Dragusin, Tel etc , overall poor recruitment, and overpaying for underwhelming signings like Solanke and Richarlison. Letting generational players like Kane and Son decline without proper succession planning. Constant managerial churn with no continuity or direction.
It’s not bad luck, it’s structural failure despite the dodgy refereeing against us. And to an extent the fanbase has enabled it by not applying enough pressure on the board.
Meanwhile (and it’s painful to admit) that lot down the road have operated with a clear, coherent plan. They backed a manager, spent decisively on proven quality, and built towards being an elite side. They cared about building a winning team and trying to win trophies. Not planning when the next NFL game was on or if the Go-Kart track would be ready.
The thing that hurts is that path was there for us as well and our owners chose not to take it.
We’re seeing the consequences now, absolutely sickening.

Both are to blame. No-one knows to what extent the responsibility lies but clear as day both Lewises and Levy are incompetent and don’t have the FC’s best interests at heart
Like arguing who was worst out of Hitler and Pol Pot
Exactly. Levy is fully part of the mess he had a horrific success rate with picking the first team coaching set up. Two right in twenty two years. He was also implementing policy agreed apon by the Lewis family, his family. Where this artificial separation comes from in the mind of some is baffling and silly.
I was cursing these pricks yesterday when we had no attackers on the bench.
Kane and Son to Muani and Richy SMH.

The most hopeful I've ever been that we could win the league was in the last season at the Lane. In hindsight I wish we just stayed there. The new stadium has become a hunting ground for away teams, the atmosphere is nowhere near the same in the bowl, and the timing of the departure from old WHL was right when we just had a special year to end unbeaten there and big wins, lots of goals and excitement.
The new stadium itself is a magnificent piece of work but it doesn't feel like home, it hasn't been a good home in the last 18 months, and its a microcosm of the club where the dream of it being the big leap forward into the future has completely turned into a nightmare. This stadium was once sold as the "only stadium in London to watch Champions League football" when it opened but now imagine it being a Championship stadium.

I would argue the consultancy analysis of the club clearly had him as accountable for a lot of the policy, but difficult to know exactly how much vests with his idiotic, small time direction
