At times the management try to back our managers with the players that they want but we desperately need someone who selects the players more carefully.
Why did we buy Porro ? He fits the old system!
We spent £40m. !!
Regularly we spend money but not wisely.

But other clubs aren't charging the highest prices in Europe for a mediocre product are they?
It IS defending Levy though, I am not expecting a loving, warm father figure of a man to come in and run our football club, I know that isn't realistic but there are wealthy and successful people out there that do a better job of balancing business success and empathy for people, we can't act like Levy is the best we could ever wish for because that simply isn't the case, the grass isn't always greener argument isn't going to fly anymore.
Levy is a cold robot who is only driven by the numbers, just like most Tories, we deserve better than that at this football club.
What makes me laugh is, I will see people being critical of the Tories on here yet they think Levy is doing a good job, missing the fact he shoots from the same playbook.
There are plenty of owners out there who actually want success and can also make profit whilst keeping people happy and content.
He doesn't give a shit about keeping people happy, everything is about winning the deal and that's fine, that's his way of doing business but he tries to sugarcoat it and act like that isn't the case, all his talk of ambition and the stadium being a gamechanger and winning trophies, it's all a way to manipulate punters.
I don't even hate him for it, that's what it is, that's the way the world works but I don't want him at my football club because HE is THE barrier to success.
They are well on track to leave another manager short.
As people are using the artice as an insight into what he is all about then surely the WHOLE article has to be taken into consideration. I don't see a mention of him trying to manipulate punters, only caring about winning the deal or him not caring about success. In fact, there are numerous points made to the contrary.
What I have read is that he is an introvert and odd person to talk to and do business with and someone who is not good at communicating with the fans.
I don’t know Levy, never met him, so don’t really care anything for him. Just think it’s poor form to start throwing stuff around the place due to an article quoting mystery sources.Ha, the Levy fanboys/defenders/cucks won't allow any criticism of their Dear Leader.
You're a brave manCranston !
Plenty of positive things in there, an example being what Peter Crouch said. But that’s not fun to talk about, so gets ignored.
Also, I’m not sure I’d regard saying someone has autism as criticism. Just ill informed.
Don't really see what on earth politics has to do with this.
Levy isn't a politician and isn't even attempting to do the job of one.
Strange post.
He BEHAVES like one, that's my point.
My opinion isn't based on the article, it's based on the way I have seen him behave over the last 20+ years.
It's my opinion that he manipulates punters and that's based on the misinformation that he has spread whenever he has spoken about the future of the club.
Doesn't really. Best leave politics out of this and go and rant about your tory hatred in off topic
Fair play man, appreciate the objectivity.
Levy, just like the Tories, is a cunt that loves to rip off the public.
Just like them he's way overpaid and a decade past his sell-by date.
It's a phenomenon, thats for sure.
One that future generations of scholars well may use as a case study in the psychology classroom
Because everyone on Twitter had a meltdown and told the board to #backconte, take a look at the thread on here as well.
Can't have it both ways...
Who cares - Levy’s personality doesn’t really matter. None of us deal with him to day. Being “unlikeable” makes it easier to heap scorn on him - but if his work produced a football club that won trophies, none of us would care about his personality.
Obviously, the real issue is that he’s completely incompetent when it comes to footballing side of the business - His recent manager hires and transfer business have been appalling. People keep saying he’s stepping back but he was clearly all over our transfer business this summer. Also, he is spending money but strangely won’t push the boat out to get top players (really depressing to see Red Scum spend 100M quid on Rice this summer). Since he (and his underlings) are bad at identifying talent why doesn’t he just go for proven players ffs.
He needs to go - either sell or just join his buddy Joe Lewis far away from England and the footballing operations of the club. We are not winning anything as long as he continues to micro manage the club.

What is your plan on getting rid of him then?
What’s your plan to stop people from continuing to bad mouth your hero?
If Levy wants to stay, he’ll stay - no one on this message board power has the power to make him go - Just like you don’t have the power to stop people from making negative statements about Levy on the Fighting Cock message board (even though the scorn heaped on your man clearly bothers you ALOT).
