Spot on. He’s not a good businessman, he’s a speculative leach - put him in charge of WPP, GSK or BP and he wouldn’t have a fucking clue how to adapt and take them forward. Asda maybe, a one tricked retailer like Mike Ashley
The decade where we won 2 trophies in ten years as opposed to 1 in 25 under this shower. It was always a pathetic argument but now we look set to finish 14-16th the most deluded Levy fanboys wouldn’t make it , would they?Anyone else noticed that the "remember the 90's " arguments for defending ENIC seem to have dried up?
There have been many periods over the years where the public have struggled financially and you use it to knock Levy . Well educate yourself before knocking the Levy family , they gave us cheap clothes with the wonderful clothing chain Mister Byrite . Suits , jackets and trousers that in my experience disintegrated or fell to pieces upon a second wearing. Leaving you in desperate need of a new suit for work , luckily there was a cheap clothing retailer called Mister Byrite to help you out . I believe this is where the cheap, rinse and repeat business model was invented . We are blessed to have such entrepreneurs in charge .
I don't have a gripe with them at all. With the cost of football today, many fans are priced out and can only afford to go to one or two games. But these games, for families in this predicament are similar to going to the zoo or a theme park for the day... i.e. its now an attraction for day trippers. Also, I could have picked any town / city within 100 miles and I live not too far from one of those towns from my original post so I'm absolutely not having a pop at those specific towns. My main point is that day trippers might be passionate Spurs fans who want to see the team win but they are not going to let a poor result ruin their experience. They will be dissapointed but they will not pile in on managers, owners etc like a season ticket holders whose investment both financially and time is likely to lead to lashing out if the value for money/time isn't there.
I don't disagree Memphis and they probably wouldn't sell as the price would be half what it would be if we had PL status. My point is, a few more seasons in the bottom half, toxicity every game damaging the brand and maybe they diverse. I do disagree with the concept relegation is a disaster. Villa spent 3 seasons in the Championship recently. Suffered serious financial blows but look at them now. Miles ahead of us unless you consider balance sheets and financial statements as a measure of a football clubs success.
Seemed to regalvanise Villa. Got relegated, got new owners, spent 3 seasons in championship, got promoted in 2019, now miles ahead of us on the pitch.
No - he knows (like all of us) there’ll be three going in our goal in the next five minutes.
No chance getting an NFL franchise. So many hurdles. I can see playoff games being played in London in the next ten years but a franchise in London profoundly changes the NFL eco system. What division would they play in? This requires 24 of the 32 owners to agree to it. Maybe the Jags up sticks from Jacksonville but again that is years off.
Precisely... mid table mediocrity for the foreseeable

It might be that with all the additional revenue that Levy has come up with we no longer need to qualify for European competitions. Hence he can lower the wage bill and downgrade the team.
I showed it to my wife earlier, I had no idea. She said to be patient, think hard and ‘We can work it out’
Lewis is 88.
Fuck sake. I'm sure he's been around 88 for like 15 years now
