6 parts??? In season one maybe... you'll hit this summer after binge watching the eighth season.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a bizarre scenario where a football chairman/owner has so impressively grown the business but so incompetently run the actual football club.
Somehow Levy has managed to turn us into a financial powerhouse, whilst simultaneously taking us back to the 90’s as a football club, where we find ourselves buying West Ham’s best players, but dicking around waiting for the big clubs to do their business.
The odd thing is, Levy has shown innovation at times, first to adopt a proper DOF, hire one of the best, gave the architects of this current Liverpool side - Ian Graham and Michael Edwards - jobs at the same time, has hired some progressive young coaches, at one point did some good recruiting, but always finds a a way to turn it to shit, and from about 2016-17 it’s been quantum level incompetence from every facet of running the football side of things.
Losing Arnesen to Chelsea, Hiring a blagger like Redknapp and wasting Graham and Edwards, letting Poch talk him out of a proper DOF/recruitment structure, Mourinho/Conte/Nuno…Steve Hitchen….
The complete fucking mess of our recruitment the last 8-9 years is a catastrophic failure of leadership, of ability to put in place innovative or even adopt the latest best practice methodology or hire personnel capable of doing the job.
Levy has managed to oversee massive net transfer fee spending on a vast array of unsuitable or mediocre footballers, in part due to his prioritising fee over salary,to the point where we have a squad that needs at least 8-10 quality players at least to actually meaningfully compete in two comps.
Frank might do a job, but where’s the fucking ambition or logic in hiring mr low risk pragmatic, who’s never won anything anywhere, who’s biggest success is avoiding relegation with a low budget side and has never done it playing proactive football.
Levy needs to step the fuck away from running the club.

Tbf, I think MGW and his agent have pulled Levy and Marinakis’s pants down.
If we really wanted MGW we should have upped our offer and he would have been here weeks ago.
The fact is Levy sniffed a “deal” and MGW was never part of a broader transfer strategy. That’s also because no strategy exists and we just bring in whoever Levy finds in the bargain bin. Alternatively Levy gets his pants pulled down by agents and overspends on distinctly mediocre players

Can't even sign a player with a release clause.
Once again shopping in the bargain basement while others shop at Harrods
Was implicit in building a squad that finished 17th.
Feeds us bullshit about winning the league.
Just has to go.

That Himothy has been shown up to be yet another bullshit artist on Twitter, so one good thing to come out of the mgw situation. I mean it was obvious anyway but good to see him exposed.
I bet if we bid £62m the player would have been ours. We fucked up bidding the exact release clause so the cat was out of the bag. Had we even gone in with a first bid of £50m and built up to £60m it would have been better.
Or just paid 65M to get it done e
Tel and Odobert will prove you wrong, young man
It stinks of the club fucking up but I wouldn’t be surprised if the deal was dead 2 weeks ago. What the pricks have been doing since then to bring others in is key. I suspect more pissing about.
And in doing so created a template for every club he deals with to show he is a toddler when it comes to player negotiations.
Yeah they’re all the same. Fuck know why people believe anything that comes out of the mouths of faceless strangers on the internet but here we go.
ENIC and the scumbag OUT .
So it looks like we start another season with fans waiting to turn on Levy again. I actually feel sorry for Frank... one bad result and it's going to get real toxic. Whilst its not aimed at Frank or the players it will once again become the narrative of yet another season. How long can he stubbornly keep hold of a club where he is despised by so many of it's fans. Surely it must wear him down. It did for Sugar, it did for Ashley and it did for the Glazers to an extent but its like water off a ducks back to Levy. It's like he enjoys the abuse. It can't carry on like this... Daniel, if you are reading this... come on son, its time to let go and we can both start to heal.
They're useless and appoint useless people. The last good DoF they got in was Frank Arnesen 21 years ago and he lasted 1 season. Ifs systemic failure.
