The majority of people are saying "spend more money" with no thought as to where that money is coming from.
Although tbf not all of them.
We spend what we make (see world record profits, of which we spent every penny).
Any chance of the list of things that you think Levy/Enic have done well?
No, the majority of people are pissed off because we pay the highest prices in the league and now have a chairman saying "if we don't make the CL we will have less money to spend" how is this acceptable in any circumstance? Like I said we should be spending more to get back to that level, not less.
Also, the majority of people want us to spend more money because, even if Mr Levy doesn't believe it, that's how you win trophies, good recruitment and lots of money spent.
Basically, when people say "I want us to spend more money" it's met with "Where the fuck do you think that money is going to come from?"
But when you say "Ok, well, if ENIC don't want to, or can't afford to, spend to make us competitive then we should get new owners who can" which is then met with "You're a shit supporter, ENIC deserve more time to make us competitive, anybody who wants them out is a cunt" etc etc.
Do you not see the issue here? The people who defend the owners literally do so in bad faith because they leave no room for complaint whatsoever, they put the owners BEFORE the club, that is a fact at this juncture and a very obvious one and it's very sad.
I keep seeing this "we spent every penny of the profits" Yeah? On what? Can you show me where those funds were distributed? Because as far as I see, it isn't into the team on the pitch where it counts because we are ALWAYS left short and the simple fact is, the money made versus the money spent on transfers simply doesn't add up.
That money is put into infrastructure, the thing that increases ENICs equity, the thing that benefits THEM not the supporters, do you not see that?
I have praised ENIC for running a good profitable business and praised them for building the stadium and other infastructure (even if it was for their own benefit in the long run) and for turning us into a regular euro outfit but the reality is, why should that be enough? Why is it that people believe we should just accept that?
Should we just roll over and have our bellies tickled now because they built a stadium and some infrastructure which makes them huge profits whilst the team gets neglected and we fail to win a trophy for another decade?
