As ever, things are mostly not black or white, but different shades of grey.
I have yet to receive a decent reply to this, but if it’s Levy and ENIC out, who is in?
It‘s fine to say that something doesn’t work, but you need a solid suggestion what the alternative is. „Anyone“ is not a viable suggestion.
Next thing is that we will be bloody expensive to buy. Can’t see anyone other than a state (shock fucking horror) to buy us.
We have made great progress the last ten years, reaching several finals and semifinals. With a bit more luck we would have sat here with more trophies. It wasn’t to be and now we have to build the next team. This one isn’t capable (yes, with a cool Höjbjerg finish we could have won the League Cup).
Apart from ESL and Stratford (most likely as part of the negotiation tactics to press more money out of Tottenham and Haringey they have made several smaller mistakes as well.
They should have invested more and better in the years we were flying (15-18) where we arguably were England’s best team.
I believe that Enic‘s plan has been to build the foundation for us to compete financially. That we would struggle to compete during the build of the stadium isn’t of big surprise, but it was a step necessary to do, as we want to challenge at the top.
Financially we are doing very well, and yes I know that’s not why we are fans. It will be much better though. We will receive money from concerts, NFL, boxing, events etc and this will help US further. With fans back we will have a staggering income.
A big chunk of the money will go to player investment and wages. We will slowly turn into a big player.
I respect those with another view, but I think we were unlucky Poch came 5 years top early. Now, we must hope Paratici and co can rebuild what’s been lost.
I’ll stick in here. Remember how it felt when Sherwood was in charge. Our turn will come guys - and imagine how that will feel.
