Baldy needs to be careful if Conte walks, ( admittedly he toed the party line , saying not just transfers needed). However fans turned on Levy and he sacked Nuno and managed to buy time with Conte, but we are paying champagne prices for a light ale team. We are a relatively apathetic fan base, Levy has had an easy ride considering 1 trophy , (the least valuable trophy ) in 21 years. Credit where it’s due , I have to acknowledge a CL final, but he has overseen a cataclysmic fall since then rather than build on it.
The issue for Baldy will be , energy prices going through the roof, inflation on nearly all goods rising steeply. Households are getting squeezed which is obviously not Levy’s fault, but as things get tight many fans will think is the financial stretch worth it for a club not interested in being competitive.
If you look how deep they went into the waiting list for season ticket renewals last season keeping Conte is imperative. As I said we are a largely apathetic fan base , I don’t envisage West Ham style protests , I could see people saying “ Nah sorry no interest “ come renewal time though and plenty of them. The waiting list is no longer deep, well not deep with people willing to commit to massively expensive season tickets
We are now at a fork in the road, how many of us trust Levy to take the correct route? Even if he does, it will be a long road as he has taken so many wrong turns in the last few years .
