13) Be prepared to see your club thrown out of English football and discard 140 years of history by joining the blood soaked shiekhs and Russian maffia in the European money league"Doing it the right way" squad destroyed.
Joe Lewis is stinking richI reluctantly agree with this.
You can't do it "the right way" these days. Even "plucky Leicester" are a stinking rich club with stinking rich owners.Difference is they are liked by their own fans and others(to a point).
Yes ,i know.Joe Lewis is stinking rich
The 10 criteria of Doing it the Right way
1) Openly admit from the start that you're only involved because football is under exploited and you see it as the biggest money spinner.
2) Be a multi-billionaire but rather than invest a penny of your wealth in your football club invest in modern art and superyachts.
3) Attempt to destroy your clubs history by moving it to another manor
4) Routinely sell the clubs best players when they reach peak value
5) Smash the world record for annual profits while overseeing chronic under investment in the playing squad.
6) Become trailblazers in the transfer market by becoming the first club in any major league to fail to sign a single player in the Summer transfer window.
7) Back the above achievment up by failing to sign a single player in the following winter transfer window.
8) Invite the tv cameras to pry into the inner sanctum of the dressing room to make a few quid. Despite the protestations of your over achieving manager.
9) Sack a regular trophy winning manager 6 days before.....a cup final.....to save a few bob on compensation.
10) Charge your supporters rip off, unparralelled ticket prices for an end of season dead rubber and park them as far away from the pitch as possible for advertising revenue.
11) Win just 1 Carling cup in over 20 years
Thats 11, I know. And I could go on.
ENIC. DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY
12) Pay your CEO the highest boardroom salary in the Premier League.
Your point that ENIC have been slowly killing our club is a fair one though.
They'd have moved us to Stratford to realise their sports and entertainment dream.
And they would have happily seen our club expelled from the English football pyramid, all domestic cup competitions, and all UEFA competions for the sake of profit.
They ain't the slightest bit interested in our history or our fans.
Ha ha ha!!!! Lol lol lolWere you alive in the 90’s.
It probably works out cheaper than building a competitive football team.so we sack poch and his gang and pay them off, we then sack Jose and his crew and pay them off, now we are looking at paying PSG for poch and the gang and have to pay them more in wages
Levy must be some great business man or there is some kind of scam going on
I still can't get over the bald twat firing mourinho before a cup final. You can't even make it up.
And thinking we are too good to try and win the league cup!To imagine where Mount was compared to Alli 5 years ago or that posters here turned their noses up at Rudiger a year ago.
If there is one thing we are good at it's delusion.
I truly believe now the ENIC period will go down as one of the most shameful in our historyTottenham's dramatic collapse - from Champions League final to a club in crisis
Another great article that hammers home a few home truths
And thinking we are too good to try and win the league cup!
