So you think all that booing and toxicity was all, and specifically for Nuno?
That no one there was as unhappy with the person that left us with Nuno at the wheel. That none of them were annoyed with the pathetic way the club had been run.
The kind of day you and I have been calling for for 20 years my friend.
It's a promising, long overdue moment...... A start.
But a moment we deserve to cherish nonetheless.
Let's drink it in.
It's fucking brilliant.
And it speaks in ENICs favour, that they know the sheer compulsory publicity will unfortunately contribute to driving up fees. But they still do it.
The timing is so good. So many teams off their balance and railing from Covid-19.
It's common knowledge that people were singing "We want Levy out" that day. Anyone who disagrees with it is straight up lying. It was so loud it could even be heard on TV.
I post in this thread a lot mostly because I find the idea of running a sports business interesting and I know a couple of (minority) owners.
While some posters on here might like to think that their rants calling him ‘Baldy’ on a fan site forced Levy (ENIC) to a greater investment, I beg to differ.
Keeping Conté happy and at the club is obviously a large part of it but I don’t think we would have gotten notice of investment without our 4th place. Levy seems to be the kind of guy who won’t invest without a very good chance of recouping that investment in the relatively short term. I think now represents a great window of opportunity:
United are in disarray.
Woolwich have a mediocre squad and manager and no CL revenue.
Chelsea’s spigot to easy money has been turned off. .
Newcastle are probably two to three years from being a top four contender.
We have a world class manager, capable of getting more out of a competitive squad than (almost) any other.
Son and Kane should still be close to their prime for the next couple of years.
The Premier League is dominating Europe both financially and in the results.
I think we could, if managed properly (by which I mean Levy not Conté), push on, separate ourselves from the chaff and enjoy success for a few years. At the end of the day, I don’t believe it’s feasible to maintain that advantage over clubs with equal or greater revenue over a long period. It took us about 20 years but we eventually caught Woolwich. We still have to sort out the naming rights which will increase our revenue further and it seems as if Levy, in his choices with pre-season venues etc. is seeking to expand the brand into what could still be lucrative markets for us.
Extremely optimistic about next season.

I was in the north stand all I heard was (and I joined in) directed at nuno
You don’t know what you’re doing
There may have been Levy chants but I didn’t hear them
Common knowledge? Nope, that's bollocks.
As I said, 10 or 20 blokes shouting do not make a chant!!
I was there and all I heard were chants (proper ones) aimed at Nuno.
This place does baffle me sometimes. This is the news we've been moaning and bitching about (myself included) for years! This is a marker stone, we should be fucking buzzing. I have to say I finally joined the Enic out camp before Conte and he needs to make this moment count otherwise it will be unforgiveable. He seems to be doing it. Let's fucking enjoy it.
True I have wavered myself between Levy out and not. Sometimes his decisions are absolute shit, other times he is very good, very mercurial.
Only thing I can say for certain is the club is great place when we have a good manager like Jol, Redknapp, Poch and Conte and terrible when we have shit managers like AVB, Ramos, Mourinho, Nuno and Gross.
Point being hire good managers. Get a great manager and the rest tends to fix itself.
I think levy really lost his way towards the end of pochs reign and I wanted him out, after supporting him for a long time. Actually, that's not quite right, it was the manager search and appointment of Nuno that made me want him out.
Hiring Conte was step one for redeeming himself. I think most of us felt he has to complete step two, and back him in the transfer market, to complete his redemption. I will be delighted if he follows through on this, we could really achieve something with Conte.

I’m going to wait & see what happens , been here before but hopefully this time it’s different ( and that includes not buying duds)
Not a chance we would have had this signal of intent if we had been pipped to fourth place by the Runners.
Which must hurt them even more.

Plot twist: They were actually singing 'We want Stevie out' my guess is that they weren't happy with Nuno's sub.
knew i must have made a mistake. But that just makes it even worse. It means the club is being valued at closer to £8B.
Suggests the investment from ENIC, although in exchange for shares, is on favourable terms for hte club.
I think you have to add in that we already budget X amount each season for transfers and then there is whatever you recoup from sales.
