Jose Mourinho won the Champions League at freakin’ Porto then won a treble at freakin’ Inter, sinking a dagger into peak Pep Barca along the way. He was THE guy.I'm giving you a funny. But the reality is Levy gets a lot of stick from people who think they know better. But the man built a massively valuable financial entity from rubble. Before that, he built a fortune that allowed him to buy his spot at the table.
Meanwhile you, and I, post here while ducking work allocated by our employers who pay us on a semi weekly basis to be their pawns.
I'm not about to let hubris run wild with me and call Levy mid-brain. The bloke doesn't have to buy a subscription or tickets, he owns the shop. We're probably the ones guilty of not understanding what the fuck is going on. He might not know football, but he knows business better than you or I ever will.
Doesn’t take a consummate insider to see that the game has moved past him in the years since, in exactly the same way it’s done for Levy.
One thing we learn being pawns in the corporate machine is that intelligent, powerful, experienced people are far, far from immune from making obvious errors, and hubris running wild tends to be a pretty popular reason why.
It’s plain for all to see that this isn’t working.
