Aren't we the 3rd biggest net spenders on transfers since Covid?But wait the stadium was going to be a gamechanger wasn't it?
For ENIC'S pockets that was
Consider wages, signing on fees, and the number of transfers that was spread across if we want to get to the truth
'Professional Levy Fluffer' .
I like it. I like it a lot...Safely stored and bookmarked,
Graeme Bailey on X saying we’re bidding for Hackney. I would be all for this’. His potential as a deep passer is huge.
Yeah I like him
Or who the money was spent on...
The borough not the player , property prices booming
Sums it up perfectly.
Can you imagine if the super league actually came to fruition? Thank god it didn’t, for a million reasons. But somewhere on that list is the fact that we would be the laughingstock of the group, permanent last-place dwellers getting crushed week in and week out.
We are the biggest club in the world, by far, that absolutely refuses to behave like a big club.
If Liverpool are willing to sell then we should be moving for Elliott. He is a grade A pillock from what I have read but his talent is undeniable.
Good post.
I have no idea
I do think if you question the club's actions in relation to transfers, there is nothing at the current time to make you question yourself.
17th doesn'tasily translate to patience.
We are a bizarre club.
They won't sell Elliott.
I think they will and I think he would want to leave.
He was pissed about the mins he got last season and they have just signed a guy for £100m in his position
Good player a a tenacious little bastard
But on kids and low wage punts.
The amount we’ve spent spread over less players but more quality that demand bigger wages and we probably could be closer to where Liverpool are.
Whats that got to do with what i said?
Like I wrote, they're just the new Gladiator arena games.
People are sheep, slaves to their passions, and the greatest passion out there is Football, on a global scale.
We're irrelevant in that the wealthy, who basically run the game, know how to control those passions, and the masses lap it all up.
Let me ask you this, in what World is it right that a human being, kicking around an inflated ball of leather, should be paid millions each year (even the most mediocre professionals are earning in excess of a million a year) when people who truly matter have to work for a decade to earn what these players earn in a month?
Yet, not only do we lap all this up, WE demand that their extortionate wages are INCREASED!!!
We are controlled to the point that we DEMAND these players being paid more!
We're irrelevant because they already control the masses. They provide a drug that is impossible to kick, and like true junkies, we demand more and more of it.
Football used to be the people's game. It used to be affordable. It used to have friendly rivalries, in stadiums where rival fans could mingle and still enjoy the game.
It's not that any more. It's a corporate entity where the be all and end all is money.
Burkinshaw said there used to be a Football Club over there about us. The truth of the matter is that there are no longer Football clubs, just corporate enterprises masquerading as Football clubs all across the World. But we're addicted to them so, even though we can recognise this truth, there's fuck all we'll ever do about it.
Levy: "We want to win the Premier League and the Champions League."
History: "Ok Daniel, you gonna need: a top keeper; two top 4 calibre CB who can stay fit; two FB who know how to defend; a beast DM and another who's levels above Gray; a 10 who can really push Madders; two wingers who dribble past people and can cross; a CF who scores goals."

I mean, imagine the hotels Levy could build…
Now actually just think about that for a few seconds lol
