Yep, it's the little things that give them away.Yeah would be gooner cunts if spurs .
Same mate, I have never talked shit about him, because even though this is a business he wants it to be successful and has done it bit by bit, complete overhaul from what we once were 20 years agoThis is insane. I can imagine ManU getting the same transfers done for 120m+
I always defended Levy, as I liked the process he started to bring us to top level. I know we won't get a trophy for that, but we are the most feared club when it comes to dealing with transfers. And I fucking love it, with every single one it gets better and better.
Let's see how they turn out first. That's where the guy was at his best this time. No commitment to purchase.For this transfer window, hes done well. So 2 pats on the back for this one. But if he doesnt make the loan deals permanent, I'll take 1 pat back.
Did he fucking say "gunners"?
Embarrassed for youAgreed. Embarrassing . Delusional if you think Levy is taking us in the right direction. A crocked superstar on loan who we will be lucky to get 20 games out of; bargain basement signings the rest of them, apart from Reguilon. Would love to be proven wrong. But i feel, yet again, we will see Levy's false economy come back to bite us. I'm in an unfortunate situation whereby my housemates and many of my friends are gunners. Their opinion of the Levy is so accurate: "long may he stay in charge of spurs - because with him, you aint winning anything" or words to that effect. In fact most fans of other teams concur. The apologists on this site are an embarrassment. If you support Levy you support the lack of investment - not much needed at the time - that could have seen us win a league a few years ago. Remember, we were far better than Liverpool 4 years ago. They're net investment hasn't been much greater than ours. Smarter though.
Nah mate
What's embarrassing is people starting 3/4/5 "Levy/Enic out" polls (or various themes) simply because they refuse to accept the results of the first 1/2/3/4. *
That is what will be used as a case study by psychologists and scholars in decades to come.
* It reminds me of someone but I can't quite figure out who.
I would love to punch you.

The same guys, that screamed "Wenger out" for years, and after he left the club they fallen into pieces? Long may Levy stay then.
Nope the guys that have screamed Kronke out for years - with good reason
Fair enough. Still, Levy&co > KroenkeNope the guys that have screamed Kronke out for years - with good reason
In the last 5 years the Dippers have spent £473.47mive not started any polls. All I know is a lot of our fans have started to see sense. Can you deny Liverpool were worse than us 5 years ago? They spent money. Not much, and in line with the money they brought in, but enough to overtake us massively. They had a bit of luck, yes. But Mane over Sissoko in deadline day helps. Income similar over the past 5 years.
im actually ENIC out more than anything. Levy id happily keep on under new ownership. Let’s not forget the wealth ENIC have: offshore in a tax haven. Lewis a non dom tax exile living in the Caribbean. An individual who doesn’t contribute a penny to the state (let along our club) who was happy to furlough his staff and have US pay their salaries. Yes, let’s salute these people. Bow down to ENIC. Give me a break.
1. Their*
2. So are you saying Levy scouts, chooses and buys our players? If not, who is at fault that our nett spend hasn't resulted in the same outcome as Liverpool's?
Have a little think about what you're posting before you post it maybe? If in nett spend terms ENIC = FSG post us being better than them for a decade then who is at fault. Because for the life of me I can't pin that on Daniel Levy.
1. thanks for correcting my grammar. Late night typing.
2. Yes - levy is clearly instrumental in the decision making process when it comes to signings. Hence the cheap alternatives to players who would improve us we have gone for over last 5 years. Just look at the wing back positions. We were arguably the best equipped in the league in those positions 5 years ago. We have only now, at the time of writing, replaced Walker and Rose. Adequately, that is still to be seen. Do you think that’s acceptable? Do you think the multitude of cheap French options Levy brought in was acceptable - when MoPo was screaming out for proper competition?
Anyway - I could go on and on. I will stop posting in this section. The fact that you want to salute a multi millionaire who was willing to let the state, let us, cover his staff‘s salaries in the most desperate of times is so morally bankrupt. Don Levy. Do me a favour.
Much like liverpools owners then? Who don't pay tax here, put staff on furlough, and as you admit, run the club along similar lines.ive not started any polls.

Why is it entirely obvious that a valid, completely plausible retort would be wasted on you.....? :roll:
Geezer played a blinder this trf window.... You be you; no-one cares.
What a total wanker - lack of investment over a decade - are you sure?time will tell if the geezers played a blinder.
My argument against him has always been more about the long term. 6 months of spending doesn’t remedy the lack of investment for well over a decade. We could go back to Sabs and Nelson as an example of this. Happy to be proved wrong. And let’s say we have another window next year where we show similar ambition - I think, then, I might be willing to change my perspective.
Wow, I can hardly fucking contain myself at that prospect. This is an appreciation thread, you want to try and run the guy down then I suggest you choose another place and definitely another time.time will tell if the geezers played a blinder.
