I think you’re being too kind to levy . The club has not only been surpassed by oil money and private equity, clubs who you’d consider much smaller are surpassing us.
As long as Levy sticks to HIS model then it obviously is just another revenue stream.
The statement absolutely backs that up 100%. He's not even hiding it now.
If anyone was in any doubt before, at least this absolutely clarifies the situation.
Built a business off the back of a football club. The football team itself is now basically just the messy afterbirth

I agree to some extent but explain how Woolwich are competing with similar terrible transfer decisions... Pepe 72m left for nothing, Aubameyang 60m left for nothing, Lacazette 50m left for nothing, Jesus 50m absolute dog shit will probably leave for nothing. Yet they can spunk 105m on Rice and pay him 250k a week. Their revenue is around the same as ours but the difference is, they focus everything on football, we focus everything on property and entertainment financed by football.
His whole thing is maximising profit, cutting corners, milking supporters for all they're worth, and ordering arson on sheet metal works so that he can get his concert venue built over what used to be a proud and historical football stadium.
He's a weasley cunt and needs to be reminded that we know that at every home game.
Fuck me, the majority of the deadwood is gone??? Give your head a wobble... we have enough deadwood to float the fucking Titanic... honestly... I can count on 3 fingers the number of players in our squad that MIGHT interest the other big clubs... the rest are either in decline (think Son, Maddison), bang average (think Porro, Sarr, Bentancur, Solanke, Danso) or just really really bad (think Johnson, Bissouma)...
The problem is since the new stadium we have no idea what sort of club we are. We were pound shop Chelsea under Mourinho and Conte, trying to act big without really doing so and have now decided to go back to our 2005 to 2015 model of buying young up and coming players. Time has moved on though and there are loads of other clubs that operate that way now who are miles better at doing it, Brighton, Bournemouth, Palace, Brentford even Forest. Everything we do is reactionary and half arsed. Does a pure data driven approach come up with Solanke for £65m and Werner for another 12 months? Since 2018 we're just completely lost and the powers that be have made appalling decisions for a good 7 years now and have no idea how to get out of this mess.
Did he actually ever say that?when in London.....
Woollich tend to recognise early that a player isn’t going to work & get rid , bar the odd exception . We hold on to them because it’s about profit & of course this results in a bigger loss . It’s not a very good way to run a business
What on earth are you going on about?
I think so but I seem to remember someone saying it was regarding Rangers but I’m not sure. He’s spouted so much flannel it’s hard to keep up .
It was said when ENIC invested in Rangers many many years ago.
Hasn't much to do with us, if anything at all.
I meant in terms of those entities that would be able to purchase us. But yeah he’s been left behind by owners with equal or greater intellect and of course sporting endeavour and desire, which lets be fair, isn’t exactly difficult!
