god that is absolutely embarrassing. All the trophies won by all our top6 rivals since Levy/ENIC took over and we have 1 piddly league cup to our name amongst all those trophies from our rivals. We can’t even take the piss out of Woolwich when they have 2 leagues and 6 Fa cups to our 1 league cup. No wonder why rivals take the piss. We are the ultimate failures, that’s all we are.
It is isn’t it, and yet we have threads on here that start with “Come here to laugh at (insert any one of the names teams)” now that’s embarrassing
...Now I know they are more to poke fun at their fans, but still....
The Stadium argument will run forever, it is Levy’s Kevlar vest, and there will always be enough fans who will stand in front of him as cannon fodder too, so touching Levy is near on impossible right now, mean while that list of trophies I posted will keep growing in favour of “our rivals”
.....
Then again, a League cup in 08 under ENIC, pre dated with one in 99, an FA cup in 91, a UFEA Cup in 84 and Two more FA cups in 81 & 82 is our total haul in 40 years of football, 6 trophies, isn’t really a ENIC problem, but it does fall well short of our 1 trophy per every 6 1/2 year ratio or 1.5 trophies per 10 year period....
I don’t think it’s all about money, and I certainly don’t want a new owner to just throw money at the thing, but a new owner who has a good footballing brain, and knows how to build, and by that I mean know when to support a manager and know how important it is to add quality every single year.....
There is a reason mid table teams are competing with us, Wolves, Sheffield Utd, etc etc, because half our team wouldn’t get in their team...that may sound harsh but seriously, players like Lamela, Sanchez, Aurier, Davies, Vertonghan (so past his prime
) to name but a few wouldn’t get a game for these teams....
