100%.Yep. The alternative of just carrying on as we are really isnt a viable option. Just want someone to come in with fresh ideas, prioritise the football side and try to instill a winning mentality in the club. Its basic stuff but things Levy and his band of nodding dogs have long since forgotten. Even if spend is exactly the same those things alone would be a massive leap forwards

My heart doesn’t want to but I hardly use it now and my last visit to NWHL I left at HT because I just hated the whole experience. Treated like consumer cattle from the moment you arrive at the station. The occasional away game still gives a hint of the camaraderie and togetherness of years now long gone. But I’m watching lower and non league now on a regular basis, and enjoying that far more than my proper team. It’s just a very weird and quite sad place to be in. Modern football doesn’t have to be like this. Look at Germany. But the PL has decided to sell itself to the global asset grabbers and what we have now is plastic, materialistic, soulless guff.
It’s a tricky one - I despise Levy and how he’s tarnished the glory of our name and tempered ambition, but even I can admit his financial acumen has been good for the club, and even football wise he’s not been a disaster by any means. Certain pro Levy posters are unable to acknowledge the failings and agree a middle ground, hence the idiotic contrary diatribe. Enough’s enough now, even Levys own family must be advising him to call it a dayThe people still catching them bullets are just stuck because they dug themselves into such an extent their egos can now not simply accept the magnitude of their error...we have seen this before but we are not allowed to mention it here.
On the other hand, we shouldn’t ignore the joy and greatness of the non league pyramid -My heart doesn’t want to but I hardly use it now and my last visit to NWHL I left at HT because I just hated the whole experience.

Levy is the highest paid Football CEO in Europe...If he doesn't relinquish it, it's not a cash cow. The owners haven't taken a dividend for about 15 years, the big pay off comes when they sell.
He is more Al Pacino in Scent Of A Woman , blind as a bat. If ever there was a man who needs an eyesight test so he can get to see his own failings it’s our wee DannyI’m going to assume that our tiny little Count Dracula is still a consistent presence in the club training centre, most days rocking up and giving the lads his stories of how his (millionaire) family were so impoverished that his place at Cambridge was really in doubt only for Danny Boy to turn it all around. Inspiring stuff indeed. I am thankful he shared that with the world.
To be slightly more serious, the combination of Lange, Munn and Levy being your senior leadership is desperate.
That post defeats its one of these three that pick up the motivation along with Thick Dundee does not seem to be very credible in an elite football environment.
Looking back at the Amazon puff piece will probably do the best job ever of highlighting what Levy is like, Haunting the place and sucking the life out of everyone. The others. Well…Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday they certainly are not.

Great points ...But I’m watching lower and non league now on a regular basis, and enjoying that far more than my proper team. It’s just a very weird and quite sad place to be in.

*Shadydan enters the chat*I also think at this stage its contrarian wind up stuff to irritate John Thomas as much as anything.
New CEO.Over the last few pages, i'm seeing a lot of calls for someone to come in with fresh ideas, because things have gone stale. Sign me up!
What kind of thing are we talking here? What do people want to see happening?
And I don't mean "an owner that wants to win stuff", as thats cheating, because every owner does.
Specifically, what new and fresh ideas are we looking for?
Who comes on board with what specific fresh ideas?

I’ve already stated mine.
1. Money to be spent on established players.
2. Full revamp of the scouting setup.
3. Increase spend on the youth setup to allow us to employ top quality management and coaches.
What does your new CEO do differently?
More focused on softer, cultural changes. Agree with all of those points but big gap for me is that Levy is a wet lettuce and can’t motivate or inspire - clear strategy to succeed that can be filtered through to everyoneWho comes on board with what specific fresh ideas?
