The course of true love never did run smooth...
Yes Levy interferes with some decisions but most decisions when it comes to transfers are the recruitment teams.
Levy interference transfers:
Carrick was joining Portsmouth
Robbie Keane
Jermaine Defoe
Raphael Van Der Vaart
Modric.
Not everything Levy has done on the football side is shit just most of it.
He is here till the summer that much is certain now and tbh I am happy enough now with this situation. The last two wins in the league haven't been pretty but no victories are when you are on a run like we have been so I take them with thanks tbh.
I can't take much more debate and name calling about the subject lol!

Not the same as you must understand. That's a competition where all the best teams are welcomed.
It's a second rate competition. Nations league of European football. I don't think it's acceptable to be so poor in the league even if you manage to win a competition for the smaller clubs.
I want to compete with the big teams and not settling for a cup nobody really cares about.
I care only about the league, the FA Cup and the champions league. The rest are all second rate. Better to win than not but not something to strive for.
That's all good and nice memories I bet but the cups were different back then. Not the washed out versions that we have today. Too many teams and too little prestige now. All about making as much money as possible. And then that wasn't even enough so they created a third European cup.
All about opinion. Winning the nations league or getting into a world cup final in international football.
The Europa is a great tournament to win.
Second tier to CL for sure but it gets the winners into the CL and it’s the stuff that European failures like Woolwich would love to have in their trophy cabinet.
It would be the greatest achievement of this club since 1984..
Getting to a CL final and losing is not the same as winning a major trophy.
I know what I would prefer.
And playing a final on the biggest stage is something a club like West Ham could only dream of but they sure have a recent European victory.
With them starting in the competition proper (ie not dropping out of the champions league) every year as they finished 9th, 5th and 5th in La Liga, and facing champions league drop outs themselves too. Ridiculous really.
See, that's the warped logic that sets everyone but a select few up for a fall...
The League, FA Cup and Champions League are prestigious, but the Europa League and League Cups aren't to be sniffed at... Or else why aren't we winning them every year, seeing as they're so beneath us?
You're forgetting there always USED to be a Third European Trophy... the wonderfully named European Cup Winners Cup... simply because if you won it,you get to become the Cup Winners Cup winners!!!
Then doing away with it is what really started the rot...
It all became way too select, to the point they created the Champions League out of what should effectively been the UEFA Cup format revamped.
You already had your perfect format with 4-5 clubs qualifying through league positions, but by allowing 1st-4th into the Champions League, they effectively watered it down, so that it wasn't JUST the champions of each country competing each year.
This automatically lowered the level of quality, and thereby creating the 'Finishing 4th Trophy" monster!
Champions should ALWAYS only ever have competed in the European Cup.
The UEFA Cup would've been a ready made CL format, and the ECWC shoulda been left as the random club competition it often was!
I think I may have digressed!!!!!
Winning the euros or losing a World Cup final is more of an accurate analogy. And I’d 100% prefer England to win the euros than lose in a WC final. Nobody remembers the losers.

You can hear the flag waving r/coys and Twitter types bleating this nonsense all over the land today.
“Ange silences the haters!!” (Beating a ManUre team that’s in as much disarray as we are)
“We’re not 15th any more, we’re in a three way tie for 12th!” Yes, happy days are here again.
No the reason Ange is still in place is that there’s no chance of saving Europe next year, no further cups to play for, and Europa won’t be concluded until it’s too late to sack him before summer.
Ange has failed into an invulnerable position for the time being.

Weird way to look at it. If anything it exacerbated the poor performances and hence the pressure on Ange.
Also you're assuming the results we've had would have been same IF there were no injuries.
No competitive trophy is beneath us as a club.
No competitive trophy is beneath any club for that matter.

nothing gets by you brooklyn. you're prime lloris
no i'm assuming we would have slipped away from europe spots and he'd be sacked to turn that around
Games coming up: Ipswich, City, Bournemouth, Fulham and Chelsea. Probably EL somewhere between these. Then Southampton and Wolves, two of the easiest games remaining this season (and the Ipswich one). If we put a good run of results then maybe the injuries excuse would be somewhat justified. But I highly doubt we’ll get higher than 9th/10th at the end of the season.
Jose won it with United!
