Levy In or Levy Out

I have never felt there was a single fan emotionally invested in keeping ENIC/Levy. Some have defended them against specific or general complaints, and plenty have said they would quit the club if it were bought by a human rights abusing nation state.

But just because people don't dedicate 25%+ of their posts to railing against ENIC doesn't mean they care about about keeping them.
I didn’t say people who don’t post ‘ENIC out’ must want to keep them. I was talking about the ones who spend a large amount of their time defending them & attacking others who criticise them. I’ve had a few give me lots of personal abuse for criticising enic & levy. I think if you take it that personal to the extent you start giving nasty abuse then I think there is some emotion in it. Also if you spend so much time & energy on defending a millionaire stranger like levy then there must be some emotion to it. Why else go out your way to defend his honour so much. Why care so much if others don’t like the man. These same people have no qualms about criticising the manager, the players etc. but levy …. Oh no you don’t!
I’d never go out my way & spend lots of energy defending a stranger online. Maybe you are right & that’s a normal thing to do with no emotion involved. Or give out personal abuse to people who criticise said stranger. If so it’s just very odd to me! But each to their own! It is strange times we live in!
Also people are well know to lie when speaking for everyone on the site. Aberdeen infamously said none of us have a bad word to say about poch despite there being 100s of people slanging him off. Suddenly they just don’t see all those posts that don’t suit their agenda!

Our luck was typical when the ball was blasted as Sissoko's arm from just 2 feet away, to give Liverpool a ridiculous penalty in the 2019 CL final. As an a Spurs and England fan, there's been so many of those moments over the years.
Yeah I have us & England down as unlucky. I think my peak interest in football which to this day I replay in my mind was euro 96 & Gazza’s leg being an inch to short too reach shearers cross! Then the penalty agony. :vdvcry:

You either want to keep these owners at the cost of finishing 17th this season. Or you want them gone. I want them gone. Others want them to stay at the cost of us finishing 17th. Which is up to them.
I think you’re very pessimistic if you don’t think we could get owners who would do better than this lot. Also very telling that you think levy & ENIC would sell to really bad owners that you suggest. That’s very telling. Especially if levy is a big fan of ours. Very worrying he would sell to crap new owners who get us relegated like the bad owners you mentioned.

Good grief. Okay mate. Let's change the owners. I will see if they sell them at Primark when I next need to buy some socks. Just have to make sure they don't get holes in them too quickly.

Nah settle for the socks you have with holes in. Be careful what you wish for!
Anyway. To be positive. This might be a wake up call for many at the club! So fingers crossed for a cup win in a few days. Big changes in the summer. & we go again. It is really open at the moment as there aren’t many really consistently good teams in the league at the moment. Highly unpredictable. I think even city will need at least another season to evolve to anything like their usual selves!
 
As suspected. Plenty of time to respond to my wish for evidence and none forthcoming. Just more bullshit.

And mentioning me without having the stones to tag me properly scott scott - poor show man.

As for personal abuse, here’s some - you’re a disingenuous cunt.
 
Yeah there are lots who still want them unfortunately! Despite how bad we are in the league. Still 46 on this very thread despite how bad we are . They would rather us finish 17th than lose levy & ENIC. Unless I am wrong & they want them gone now.
Have you seen any of those posters on this thread recently? They probably voted years ago and those that ventured back got hounded off by the majority ENIC out posters like you. That does not mean that they would rather us finish 17th than lose ENIC& Levy.

I had to put a load on ignore as they started giving me personal abuse & get nasty. It’s not worth going down that route over a difference of opinion on a football chairman. Or they admitted to trolling me & I block trolls. You bring up people like me hounding them out. Care to give me examples of anyone I hounded out? I bet you can’t!
Care to condemn those who gave me personal abuse? I doubt you will!

As I have them on ignore maybe they are all levy & ENIC out now. But Dudu, airfixx, Aberdeen, Stevee, Shadydan, mickeybubbles, billybobmate, leparisien, topspur, ulrikacoglou, sudoku… but if you say they all want levy & ENIC out then that is fantastic news! :dude:

Well actually since posting today notabadsquad disagreed & wants to stick with levy & ENIC. Which is his right. He is sticking to playing it safe & sticking with what you know as new owners could be worse. That’s despite us finishing 17th. So just today I had someone choose keeping levy & ENIC & finishing 17th over a change of owners & rolling the dice. I like him as a poster & we can agree to disagree.

Ps. If you are just going to attack me & not answer back to my questions to you … then thanks but no thanks!

Utter horseshit
 
I don't think anyone is necessarily saying they are content. That's missing the point entirely, as it presumes someone will just come along and do better.

This is not fantasy football ownership mate,or would you (and others) prefer the Cheksea model, or what happened to Everton, or Leicester, or even Newcastle for a ehole?

Be careful in life what you wish for.

We need to get it right more often than not, but we remain one of only 6 clubs never to have been relegated from the PL for a reason.
We spend less on wages as percentage of revenue than every other club in the Top 5 leagues - NOT just the English Premier League but EVERY other club in the EPL, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1!!!

Our transfer business has been utterly shambolic and incompetent post the Poch no spend era. The not so cheap punts for young potential on low wages have Levy’s fingerprints all over it - and apparently we’re done spending on transfers now because of our transfer debt so …

Teams our size don’t get relegated if they are run with even the slightest bit of competence— because the revenue advantage is huge - it’s a damning indictment of Levy that we came so close this year. If anyone may get us relegated, it’s Levy and ENIC. The chances of getting a cheaper and even more incompetent owner is probably same as the chance of getting struck by lightning …

We are the 9th richest club in the world and 17th in the EPL with one trophy in 25 years. How much worse can it get?!?

I see there’s rumours about a West Ham take over

If it happens then it’s just one take over away from the Premier league owners having enough votes to basically scrap any tightening up of FFP laws . This in turn could force Enics hand as they’ll not be able to use FFP as an excuse in investing because they’ll be left behind

Aside from all that, all good!!!

I really do think too much is being read into this season but I understand all the ire behind it.

It's forced noise from those who are usually silent. If Levy isn't listening then he is a fool.
