Levy's biggest 'recent' mistakes:
1. Signing Njie, Nkoudo, Vincent. All 3 sold for loss. Poch gave them every chance but not good enough. They are in Moscow, Turkey and Mexico now, says it all.
2. Selling Tripps cheap and not replacing him. He is at Athletico Madrid now.
3. Releasing Llorente and not replacing him. He is at Roma now.
4. Dithering and haggling for 12 months and then crawl and pay the full asking price for an injured player Sessignon. What can Poch do!
5. Not sorting contracts or selling of Toby, Vert and Eriksen. All 3 may go for free at the end of the season.
6. Signing players last minute, eg. LoCelso. How many times Poch asked for early business!
7. Not backing the best manager we had for a very long time.
8. Selling Demble in the middle of a season, Jan 2019, without replacing. No coincident, since then our poor run.
9. To add as
VoiceOfThePoshSeats
stated "turning down Cahill and Tevez and buying Saha and Nelson as the biggest mistake".
Financially, the above may cost our club a massive loss of over £150m, a figure represents the equivalent net spend of 5 seasons. This is why where we are now in the table and the state of our squad without decent full backs, DM or a back up striker.

I remember feeling at the time that we were doing so well in keeping all our key players, so wasn't too concerned that we hadn't made any signings. Also with the experience of the way we squandered most of the Bale money, I was ok with not refreshing the squad. Shows how much I know, that policy has come back to bite us - hard! All factions of the club now need to own responsibility for putting it right.
Levy is a balance sheet guy not a football guy
Did Levy make Poch play CE, Aurier, Rose and Dele on Sunday?
Did Levy prevent Poch from making substitutions sooner
Tanguay and Lo Celso
Nobody is saying it’s all Poch’s fault but he needs to go
Id put turning down Cahill and Tevez and buying Saha and Nelson as the biggest mistake.
Berbatov was a farce as awell.
I don't see how we stop it happening with every group of players we get. The top 4 trophy novelty eventually doesn't really motivate them after a few years. So unless enic/levy spend the required amount to win major titles, we will have the same problem of reaching our ceiling with a set of players, then having to rebuild & start again as that group gets older & loses motivation.

We will never know whether Levy has a hand/influence in team selection.
Agree, but any top manager can not work with the current regime.
Buying cheap and cheerful does not work in the EPL.
Balance sheets are framed in his office trophy cabinets with back ups in his bedroom.
Yeah he did, because he buys/sells the players and that’s what he provided Poch with.
Re Lo Celso, how is anyone expecting Poch to use a player who was bought right at the end of the window with little integration?
I’m on about tactics, formation, team selection and when to use substitutes
That’s down to Poch and he keeps fucking up
Get rid by Xmas or sooner if we lose on Sunday
Enough is enough
He plays football how much integration does it really take? Its now November im sure he can integrate into the awful football the club is now playing just fine. Almost anything is an improvement
Am I hearing now that it was Levy that played Sanchez at RB
To be fair we did win the operating profit world cup last year.
a club will only ever be good as it’s owners, that’s a fact.
And the Asia Cup this year
same kinda time the money got involved in football and fucked the game up totally
