I get the feeling they are really just trying to buy abit more time at this point to finish the project in full. The hotels and whatever else they have planned will be completed and once thats all done finally cash in, maximised.

They simply treading water at this point, they could find ways if they really wanted too but no.

What was the money that was put in a couple of years ago used for? Was it used on players or was it not drawn down at all?
Whatever happened it is clear, the off field stuff is far more of a priority because of the value it adds.
Are we really to believe that building these apartments is all happening so we can suddenly flip a switch and suddenly buy top player, oh please if anyone thinks so there just beyond help at this point.

It's pretty obious what they are doing, and have been for so long. They just keep telling the fans what they want to hear, keep moving the goal posts, just to keep the fans from full on revolting, just to give them enough time to carry out their agenda.

Levy and ENIC have had a plan all along, to maximise the profit they make by maximising the value of the club, through the stadium, training ground and property. It is not, by pumping millions into the club to spend on player transfers. That is money wasted as far as they are concerned. Spend 60 mill here and there and a few cheap punts, try to stick around the top 6, ideally get into CL every so often, but winning is a nice to have, not the ultimate goal.

I'm amazed if anyone hasn't clocked this by now.

Remember when Levy spent over a decade telling us all that we would compete once the new stadium opened. Haha, that was bollocks.

Sure, we maybe spend a little more on transfers, but in terms of the top 6 we still spend peanuts on wages and fees.

Again, Levy was just tagging us all along for 10 years, biding time as they carried out their agenda. Always the promise of jam tomorrow. Now, the stadium is opened, it's other excuses why we can't compete.

It's all just a big blag to the fans, just to keep biding them time until they can finally make a big sale and cash in. Ultimate football success isn't important to them. It's a nice to have, and we are in a league where other clubs owners want to win at all costs.

Why can’t we sell our shite to Saudi?!

Mad that these other clubs are now just buying who they want with little risk because they’ll get most of the dollar back from Saudi - meanwhile we’ve still got Bryan Gil ffs.

We’ve recruited poorly over the years, other than a handful of players, two of which didn’t have any desire to go to Saudi (Son and Richy), who have we got left that has a bigger name appeal to have a Saudi club coming in for them? Definitely not Bryan Gil.
 
Anyways. Worst thing that can happen tomorrow is we get a result from the Bayern game.

Imagine Frank knocking on the door asking for reinforcements after results against Woolwich, Newcastle and Bayern Munich? 👀😂

at least present a logical argument. Yet, here you are calling me "brainwashed" when I prevented you with facts.

Now you're just flat out lying.....

If you can't have a coherent argument, you have no right to call anyone anything. This is why no one l, but you're other 3 or 4 cheerleaders take you seriously.

Everything you're posting is just proving EXACTLY why I'm right to not bother getting into some drawn out debate with you.

Yeah, sometimes we are our own worst enemy. I was thinking that what is probably going through Levy's head right now is "Great, I got them a trophy, so hopefully they'll be satisfied for a while now and shut the f***k up for at least 10 years or so, to give us time to sell the club before they start kicking off again."

It would just be another case of his being out of touch with reality.

I want to win tomorrow and if we do then Frank is doing well so far. Only a friendly though. Intriguing game. Imo i dont think kompany is doing that good a job. Interesting to see how tomorrows game goes.

"Bottom line here is unless one is a vehemently opposed to every facet of our ownership; you'll continue to frame them as brainwashed followers (or some other crap).... Blind to the fact you are every bit as extreme on the 'scale' of opinion as those whom you're set up in opposition to."

Good Lord. You really are a piece of work aren't you?

Still despite the name calling, are you going to answer exactly why you think this ownership are good for the club, and why? And how do you think we've improved over the last 15 or so years.

I bet you hop around that too.
