What has he to do with our discussion about Commercial Income being a benefit to the Football team? The other top rich clubs have plenty of Commercial income and it is a good thing. I am not disputing the Football side is in a mess and a new LB is not the answer.
ENIC is an Investment Company it cannot make decisions, the people in charge do that. Until recently that was Joe Lewis & Levy. It now appears that 2 of the Lewis children & a son in law are in charge. Major decisions are made by the board having taken the advice of the Football people employed being Lange, Paratici & the long list of Managers. I very much doubt they have the knowledge to know whether any player is good enough.
I can understand criticising the owners for lack of Investment & for hiring the wrong Football people although the blame for that rests with Levy who you passionately fought to get rid of but not for getting as much Commercial income as possible.
If ENIC sold out and new owners came in, do you seriously want them to ditch the Commercial income, stop the concerts, ditch the NFL? Do you actually want the new owners to make the football decisions or employ so called experts to do so. They no doubt will employ different football people but these owners may also get rid of the Manager, Paratici is going & Lange will be vulnerable. I do not know to what effect Vinai has on the football side but he is not an expert and will not have the power to interfere like Levy did.
We need Commercial Income, the more the better, more concerts, more NFL etc.
