More likely that any new buyer would make him staying for a period a condition.

Ignoring the reputation of Levy on here, most business purchase require some of the existing management to stick around for a set period to do a transition etc.

Not saying this is the case in this deal just pointing out it’s more likely to be a condition of the buyer rather than seller

This wasn't the case at Newcastle, for reference. Bruce Buck was gone within a month at Chelsea.

And of course Levy wears both an ownership hat and an executive leadership hat, the former is gone at the moment the sale closes.

Anyway, I'm not concerned with interrogating Levybot tears over any transition. Ending Levy's control of the football club is the whole value proposition for any purchaser.
 
I'm defeated.

Levy/ENIC aren't selling. These stories are probably leaked to push values up to help talks about stadium names, or ENIC loans for property outside football.

We're stuck with them

It’s very rare to want senior executives to hang around.

You keep the competent people at Director / Senior Director level (the people that actually do day to day stuff) and then bin absolutely everyone else.

The idea that someone would give Daniel and Joe nearly 4 billion pounds and then have the former remain in position and tell them what to do is bordering on the absurd.

Just pay up you cheep cunt
 
If someone decides to purchase the club, the most important detail of the entire deal is to remove Levy from the operations.

I don't give a fuck who takes over, I don't want Levy and his "football is hard" money man negativity leaking down on to any area of the football club.

We need a FRESH start if it ever does happen.

They’ll over value and out price us. I’ve said it all along. Theyll want to sell at a number but it will be higher than anyone sensible will want to pay. Plus I think levy wants to stay forever.

Three reasons for hope, IMO

1. It would be an overstatement to say "it's Lewis' decision and not Levy's", but this is a context in which Lewis' total deferral to Levy on day-to-day football matters is less relevant. There is a different landscape of power here.

2. I don't just say it as some sort of anti-Levy talking point, it is simply reality that the ENIC project has reached its conclusion and there's nothing left for them to do, and under current management the value of the asset is only going to wither.

3. It's not a coincidence that when the Ukraine situation forced an actual sale of a big English club, not the usual speculative investment banking bullshit but a real life, place your bids, sign the papers sale, all of the investor-owners of the other big clubs immediately started sniffing around the exit door. They like what they saw.

This, however, is the reason for pessimism.
