So what happened to the money we were supposedly willing to spend in the summer on Vlahovic or Martinez?

EVERYONE RELAX IM TRYING TO PANIC
Honestly, the more embarrassing/shameful the situation gets for ENIC, the better really. If we really are just unprepared to spend at all then it's much better that they're forced out as quickly as possible rather than the fans slowly getting pissed off.
I had my doubts about this apparent incoming spending spree but people seemed very convinced it was happening. If it isn't they've really shot themselves in the foot, because they've maxed out people's expectations only to piss all over them.
Another Enic Special where you submit a bid publically , safe in the knowledge that the club won't sell and/or the player won't want to come
File under Dybala , Aguero , Skriniar , Rossi Etc
Yep. Remember Dybala everyone? Was so obvious we wouldn't actually be able to sort player image rights/wages when United had already balked at the fees involved, but we were totally trying! Definitely not just doing so for the PR.
Hopefully catches a hint…He has gotta be the most @ mentioned poster in the history of this forum
I mean forget about Conte or the “Levy Out” status of the fanbase.
There is no path forward for the club as a business without massive transfer market investment in players. There is only decline and failure.

Yeh, I think it's what edgy, troll-types like to describe as "rent free" and "triggered".
Makes them 'better men' apparently.
Yep. I don't know where they think this leads. We've already gone from CL every season and some half hearted title challenges to conference league football. We have very little potential for growth within the squad aside from Skipp (most key players are in or beyond their prime) so we can't just hope for that to save us, it isn't happening.
If this squad isn't revitalised by serious spending, we will be mid-table within the space of a few years.
Just like Johnson, ENIC have no shame. As long as they keep making profit they will stay.
I am totally cool with this TBH........ Regardless of all the hot air blown about "theft & failure"; I said in the summer that the ensuing 12 months really were crunch time.
So now we know what many of feared/expected that the club isn't going to spend any real money to compete, which seals not only the fate of our Champions league hopes but also means Conte will be gone very soon.
The real question is, how do we force ENIC to sell?
Is it a question of the fan base coming together refusing to buy tickets, refusing to buy merchandise and if you do go to the ground not drinking or eating inside?
There must be a way because I'm sick and tired of the lack of ambition, Won't be long before the goons will be lauding it over us again.

Agreed. Our squad cant beat Vittesse, Mura or Morecambe. Our first team is pretty average with our 3 best and i'd say only top players being Lloris (35 and out of contact in 5 months), Son (30 in the summer) Kane (29 by the start of next season and 2 years left on contract). The only way out of this mess is to spend.
Yep, they set themselves up for this and now they have to deliver. Conte won't work as an appeasement tactic if he then walks out the door a season later.
I can’t deal with that cunt face at the center.
And if that isn’t bad enough, take a look at Everton to understand that we also need to spend WELL.
And we need to coach those players well.
A better opportunity than Conte is not forthcoming.
And of course this is why Levy jumped aboard the ESL train. Football is competitive, and since time immemorial that competitiveness has squeezed the dreams of stable profits away from its capital owners. So the dormant conspiracy to make elite football an anti-competitive American-style cartel will always be in the background.
But until that day it’s spend or die.
