He does it all the time but doesn't even realise, bless him
I think you’re being quite naive; if there’s a lesson to be learned from the Pochettino years, it’s that standing still in this game means that automatically you are going backwards.No one is in control of how you choose to feel about things, bud. You want to feel glum and angry about our transfer business, that is purely a you thing.
Perhaps just choose not to worry about transfers and watch the football.
Another mirror coming your way but I'll make it a large one to accommodate your new mate

Also we’ve had 24 years of this and now I think Levy is actively harming us - it’s quite clear that a number of his peers love getting one over on him (and by extension us), and he has brought this on himself.
Once the strains of a 2 game a week schedule kick in, I’m pretty sure that we’ll run into some pretty familiar problems.
As far as I’m concerned, any positive results are in spite of Levy, not because of him.

Because he’s a fucking idiot?So, why do you post the same images all the time? What's the point?
I compare people DIRECTLY to their peers; so no matter how you want to fudge it, Levy has been one of the very worst in the league at this aspect of his job for a while now.Kind of baffling this...any positive results have to go to the person you are blaming for the negativity surely?
If we're all bemoaning that we're not signing players because of Levy then the players who we get over the line has to be put on him as well and presumably those players will be responsible for getting those positive results, same for manager.

Levy was very good up until 2018. He’s been horrible since then for a multitude of reasons.
But he wants to win the league and champions league.I compare people DIRECTLY to their peers; so no matter how you want to fudge it, Levy has been one of the very worst in the league at this aspect of his job for a while now.
I genuinely think only West Ham have it worse.
He doesn’t deserve credit for the bare minimum; he is constantly expecting his managers to overachieve with what he gives them. In the context of being a top 10 club in revenue on the planet, his strategy is indefensible. It’s not 2007 anymore. It’s over for him and the negativity towards him is going to snowball from here. The booing of him at Brighton and the fact that he kept himself hidden at the parade tells me he knows this as well.

Yeah. Actions speak louder than words.
I believe the consensus on Ange was to let him see if he could pull off Europa, then assess at the end of the year.Definitely deserves credit for our cup win, if he listened to the fans he would have sacked our previous manager and we would have gone another year of not winning anything!

I could be wrong but even during the crisis period, Levy deffo got more blame than Ange.
That's not true. Half the fanbase stayed loyal to Ange right until the end. And any new appointment would have almost certainly won the the competition anyway considering the dross that we were up against.Definitely deserves credit for our cup win, if he listened to the fans he would have sacked our previous manager and we would have gone another year of not winning anything!
