So your answer is what?
and ... those days are past"I remember the 90s"
we are now a cash cow for Enic
the world knows it - that's why fans of other clubs want levy to stay
What about entrusting Fabio Paratici with the keys to the club after leaving Juventus under a cloud of moral and legal uncertainty?
I treat you with the contempt that you deserve!!!
have a Guinness and chill
I'm very chilled buddy.
It's a lovely day, sun shining, with friends and I don't drink Guinness.
Don’t you remember we signed other players for these managers too? Better ones? They not get a mention? Weren’t you talking balanced debates yesterday?
No, the argument was Conte was backed.
To the level required to achieve the things Conte wants to achieve, he objectively wasn't.
And more importantly, he wasn’t backed with the promises he was given when he took the job hence being so pissed off this season (despite him overdelivering with CL). Levy moving the goalposts and reneging…… who knew
We don't know exactly what was promised but his general tone and behaviour changed so fast after the transfer window closed.
Yes I do remember we signed bette playersr, those signings in my last post show that the managers were undermine, thus not backed. I only showed a fraction of the bad signings.
£155m net spend over three windows. He’d said he’d need two more to get us “competing”. We were fourth when he went. Nothing to suggest he wouldn’t have had us up there after those other two windows if he’d given the slightest indication he wanted to stay here and see the job through.
I don’t believe for a second you were trying to show that managers were undermined. I think you were supporting your anti Levy stance by picking and choosing your facts to suit your agenda.
But you know better than I do what you were doing I suppose. Doubt you care if I believe you or not.
Original point;
Oopsies.
He doesn’t work like that though. He is a short term 1-3 season manager who takes an elite squad across the finish line then fucks off. The backing for a manager like that has to be instant if the squad is really short of the quality which it is. You cannot expect a manager who wants to win the title to do it with Lenglet, Dier and Sanchez.
£155m in todays market isn’t even that much, it is probably worth only half what it was 3-5 years ago. We needed with Conte to be temporarily the highest spend around to complete the squad instantly so he could win the title then fuck off. He is a win it now and fuck off manager not a project manager.
Yes I quite like fishing but haven't been in a while.
I think there are just different views on what a "big spend" is nowadays in the Premier League.
While I’m sympathetic to the point you are trying to make, the fact that you left off so many players that we purchased isnt really helping the argument. Very often it was the timing of purchases, bad fit, and frankly some underperforming players that was equally as bad for us as lack of purchases at times.
That’s not your post
