FFS... there are ups and downs in football and sports in general.
Day berfore yesterday we were ahead of Liverpool. Before that, once again, they won titles (such as CL). Yesterday and today they are on top. Tomorrow we might get ahead of them again. No one will stand on the throne forever.
No one is denying that the club and mr Levy made some mistakes before. Literally - I have seen no-one who would say he has made perfect decisions all the time. But that is not the question here. You are massively shifting goalposts now. Question is - was our past window a success - and question to that is - "yes it was"!
After all if you make mistakes, you can just sit, cry and dwell on them (like you seem to prefer to do) or you can acknowledge that you fucked up and step by step try to make things right again (which mr Levy did this past window).
Fair points mate, but I don't believe levy thinks he made mistakes and is trying to rectify them. He is just doing enough as always, otherwise he would not of just sat idle whilst Liverpool overtook us....in my small opinion, I don't like to dwell on them but its hard to ignore when he has been doing this now for 20 years
Levy always said that once the stadium had been built we would then change our spending and he would try and make us compete, just doing enough would have been to take a punt on someone like Eddie Howe when sacking Poch, instead he went out and got one of the most successful managers in the game and has backed them in the transfer window.

Playing football for this exciting new Spurs side alongside his Welsh team mate Gareth Bale is surely enough to tempt him away from the bright city lights of Swansea ?
Is he going to get enough playing time this season? If not then why not buy him and loan him back to the end of the season?
so if we had sold Kane in the way that they sold Coutinho, you wouldn't have whined or said a word about it ?
Klopp took them to a champions league final on a net spend of 700K. the issue has never been how much we spend. its been that we tend to not spend it well
Coutinho was not on Kane's level, more like we would have sold Eriksen for 1,4 bil 5 years ago. That I would have taken.
the priciple was though,they sold the player that was considered their star man
and had we done so (Kane or Eriksen), there would have been plenty of "selling club..no ambition..only interested in prpfit, not backing the manager" and so on.
and had we achieved what the dippers have since, there would have been plenty of "managed it despite the board"

Nothing can do that!!
I spent a couple of rainy nights there in January once
Put ten years on me!
Sterling, Suarez, Coutinho..... All sold before their peak.

If we sold one or Erisken or even Dele in pochs reign then I can’t Imagine the amount of abuse levy would have got!!
We have to remember, what other clubs do only matters if it can reflect negatively on us. Club X spending 120% of their turnover on wages? Why don't we do that? No ambition, sack the board
There were plenty of people saying we should sell Eriksen in 2018 when it became clear that he was running down his contract in exactly the same way he did at Ajax. It’s difficult because I think Poch and Levy developed a really strong emotional connection to a lot of the squad, when maybe clear eyes and vision were needed.
I wonder if he will get much game time this season?
If he's good I don't see why not. Big guy, apparently great on the ball and a good defender. None of our CB's are world beaters so I could see him getting a chance if he's as good as social media chatter indicates.
Looking forward to seeing him play tonight.
