ITK & 100% True. - Boehly and Clearlake agreed a deal to buy the club on 3 separate occasions. Levy and ENIC moved the goal posts so many times so they pulled out. Classic Levy. Coupled with the well known fact Abramovic also met with Levy and couldn't get the deal done tells you all to know. Sure Boehly and Clearlike didn't start well but now look at them. Could of been us! We have to get together and atleast try and get this lot OUT!
 
Levy’s too thick skinned to let any criticism get to him.

Only way we’re get rid is if ENIC receive an agreeable offer to purchase the club.
Only way he goes is if he senses a crisis where the club becomes a liability not an asset.
Kilpatrick keeping the pressure on

I shall not forget Postecoglou. He's the more urgent issue to address.
 
True ... but also misses the much bigger point that Levy is trying to pull off a trick of maximising profit to maximise valuation for onward sale (at some point). It's that dirty work that denies fans re-investment of the money they pay to support the team.
I genuinely do not feel there is any intention for Levy or ENIC to sell.
For someone to buy the club at a value that covers all the income they could make in the next 20+ years, the numbers would be well in excess of what even the nuttiest of nut jobs would pay.
Sure, some have likely got as far as a meeting with them, but I'd bet my arse that the "number" is as good as "no thank you"

100%

It would be the greatest expression of fan power ever in football if we got shot of Daniel Nickels & Dimes Levy

At the right price they will sell of course. And as baldy gets old/Joe's heirs etc things might change. Also, if (quite a big IF) the asset keeps appreciating, then their wealth becomes ever more concentrated in one asset, and there is risk there, even it's been all upwards to date.

The problem is the right price. Who in their right mind would buy a club with 1 league cup in a quarter of a century for, in all likelihood, more money than any other club on the planet?
I genuinely think Levy and Enic would want so much money that a buyer could look at elite clubs across Europe and get a better deal.

And it's all because they see the constant income as more appealing than a lump sum sale.

That is only an opinion of mine, but it's a suspicion I've had for a long time. They'd rather milk the cow for decades than sell it to a slaughter house for a quick buck.

Levy strikes me as arrogant bell who has obviously had huge success building the asset value. His arrogance and belief he can buck markets comes through both in his approach to wages, and transfers. Ultimately he won't be able to buck the market on the value of the asset, and it comes down to a personal decision as to whether an old man would rather have (say) £600m, or the income stream. One thing is for sure that fan hatred would not be nice for him or any heirs he might leave his ownership to. If a boycott is unachievable, at least making it an incredibly unpleasant experience for him to attend matches would help the club.

Imagine Clearlake spending if they had Kane to start with...
Also, even more importantly, imagine what Chelsea might have been if Clearlake never came in?? They may well have gone bankrupt.

Only silver lining I can see from this latest disaster is that the more fucked up things look at the club, the less leverage has to overcharge anyone crazy enough to try and negotiate with him.
