Your concern should be to stand up to a tyrant who would blow the wheels of anything if it made him more money.
Levy knows under Enic we can't compete or won't in the premier league but that isn't his concern. There is a bigger picture.
While the majority of our legacy fan base have eventually woken up and read through Levy's blundering , wall of lies and realise football success isn't on the table we are stuck in perpetual discourse.
I understand your a Enic supporter so maybe it is hard to understand the emotional baggage many of us have how our club has been manipulated for personal gain over football.

The nonsense about Man United board skimming money off the top making them so much worse is the best one.

How much money have the Glazers made from Man Utd?

The Glazers aren't popular owners, but how much have they actually made from owning Manchester United?
www.footballtransfers.com www.footballtransfers.com

Swiss Ramble estimates the Glazers have taken out £1.1 billion from Man Utd in total, which rises to £1.6 bln if £465m share sales are included.

Please tell me that you're not seriously suggesting that Utd wouldn't be better off if they'd spent that £1 BILLION on players ?

But we didn't win, when we were in it we were one of the favorites but our performances were embarrassing. West Ham finished on a high, we were topped by Brighton and Villa.

Who had the better season out of us and west ham ? And I remind you that we won nothing and are not in Europe.

Makes me laugh the Levy had no choice as if he was dragged kicking and screaming to the table . When it all kicked off City and Chelsea quickly shat the bed and pulled out, Levy didn’t jump in straight away to kill it though did he . No he sat back waiting to see the outcome , he could have banged a nail in the coffin early but he did nothing. At least that is my memory of how it collapsed, we were not a major player in its demise, I imagine ENIC sitting their crossing their corporate fingers and toes going

Please work , please please work

That’s my opinion of our cynical ownership at least in the whole sorry saga , instead of being first to put the boot in we dithered .


EDIT: Just googled it , after City and Chelsea it was Woolwich then Utd then us and Liverpool . Does not strike me as we were unwilling participants

They couldn’t use their ground to show the match. As it’s not their ground….

Now they are about to sell their best player at his peak. Now imagine us doing that.

They won a competition 50% + of people on here didn’t even want to enter.

What’s their aim next year. With the EL to contend with? 4th? 6th? 10th?

The future doesn’t look great for them. Fair play they won a trophy. Does that make them massive??
Are they going to spend the Declan rice money buying Harry Kane. That’s their level now. Is it fuck.

Lol we’re about to lose our best player at his peak ON A FREE after this season. At least West Ham will get a tasty fee for Rice.

We wouldn’t be able to buy Kane either if he wasn’t here, so what’s the point? They have Europe now, we don’t.

And they have something in the cabinet. So yes, despite the ECL being shit they’ve had a better season and are likely feeling happier & more optimistic than we are.

I still firmly believe that the Super League proposal was likely the most major factor in the timing of Jose's sacking.

Daniel thought he was in the money and European football was secure regardless of who the coach was and where we ended up finishing in the League.

Club value is everything. And realistically, that doesn't change significantly based on winnings. We are in the £3-£5bn range whether we win the league, qualify for the CL or finish 8th

Not massive at all when you factor n the years and years of complete underinvestment prior, as well as the inability to move on shit players due to unrealistic fee demands

Pointless graphic, pointless debate.

The teams that win in each league have the highest wage bills and spend the highest fees on individual transfers.

The club’s financial model under ENIC isn’t built to seriously compete with the teams that consistently win in the premier league. It’s built to be around the fringes and hopefully over achieve into the Top 4 as often as it can.

The stadium and training ground may be among the best in the world, the ambition to be among the really big clubs is yet to catch up.
