No I'm not saying we were on a level footing when enic came in. But they have moved the clu forward to a point and stopped. I don't think anything has really changed since redknapp first got us into the champions league...
We still are behind the other top 6 clubs on wages, transfer fees paid and received pretty much every season..and that's why every season we are behind them. We had a bigger turnover than chelsea last year and only fractionally behind the scouse and Woolwich...if we played in the same sandpit as Woolwich and chelsea we would at least have a chance.
I also have to admit that since we got into the champions league with redknapp and didn't go for it, when back then being in the champions league really did attract the bigger players, now not so much. That was when I knew levy was a joke and I have not trusted him ever since he signed ryan Nelson and Louis saha.. but I respect your view and opinion too, you make some good points, and have actually made me think twice.....let's hope your right and I'm wrong and we can all look forward to an exciting season...
