Fair play. That's a great analogy.

I think both have a long long way to becoming top performers.
Both look better through desperate eyes.
We really need 3 or 4 players of quality. Not sure either of the 2 qualify in my book.

Lewis is absolutely a morally worse person than Abramovich, not that it particularly matters. Two wonderful examples for anti-plutocrat politics.
Yet only Lewis has anyone fooled that his football club is run the "right way", for baffling path-dependent Stockholm Syndrome reasons.
I like Elliott a lot, but him I don't really see as a winger that's interchangeable with Kudus. He also probably costs more.
A whole other set of concerns in his case, but Garnacho is a better player than any of these guys.
Hope we don't get another left winger
Again.... Worth reminding you that the OG point was about the massive shit-stained caveat that undermines their successes: CHEATING.
Nor have any my posts have attempted to determine who's owners have the clearer conscience (nor did the poster you first responded to either).
As per your constant grumblings; Lewis's wealth hasn't been injected to drive our club.......... So again; it's not apples v apples.
We can be proud of the trophy we just won... Even their most recent once comes with a fresh additional caveat.

I remain unconvinced that Frank is going to be so rigid in his thinking about what dominant foot has to play on which flank. Garnacho has played on the right a fair bit.
Odobert has done nothing so far that suggests he is already better than Dibling. Both are young players with everything still to prove
The point here is about the clubs/football.
Regardless......
You can't have it both ways... As I just said above; the #1 complaint from so many here is that our owners WON'T inject their (allegedly immorally gained) money into the footballing ops of THFC. Yet now I'm expected to not heed that very difference between us and the chav scum and the fact it's the sole platform for them having anything like the status in the modern game that they do?
Nah. Fuck that, fella.
Btw, if we're THAT desperate for a left pegger, United would sell us Antony for absolutely nothing.
Worth a flutter that he might join the endless list of players who were way worse at Old Trafford than anywhere else?
I am quietly buying up Odobert stock. Just like the look of him.
Our 'self sustaining model' that
Airfixx
and others seem so supportive of is essentially the fans funding the football club themselves while the owners grow the asset for an eventual multi billion dollar windfall for themselvesI find no moral high ground in this 'model' of ours whatsoever. It fucking reeks of exploitation, greed and opportunism.
Might as well sign Calvert Lewin and play him on the right, he's as effective their
I think Garnacho would be sooooo much better than Kudus, and cost less.
Why is he shit?
I don’t think he’s much like Adama at all.
Who would you prefer we sign to boost our attack?
He’s significantly worse technically than Kudus.
I think there is a hypothetical here which can’t be answered .
Chelsea fans don’t care about the owners past , other clubs fans take a moral stance. I am not saying that is not the correct position . It is easy to do however.
Genuine question
if Abramovich had bought Spurs and we were winning shitloads , how many of the Spurs fans who caveat Chelsea trophies would say all our trophies were worthless. I cannot believe there would not be a big percentage that wouldn’t leave their morals at the entrance . It’s impossible to quantify because it’s hypothetical, personally I think there would be a big shift in numbers
Possibly but I don’t think so and certainly not to the continued levels of the oil dippers. They spend more than us but they generate more than us overall, annoyingly mostly in success based returns eg CL money, PL etc
Yeah the whole drugs guns and federal charges would point you more toward Elliot. He's a dick but not an actual outlaw...
Having only signed up in Feb'25..... How would you know?
Knocked about SC long enough before being banned
