But we didn't win the 5 finals. He has sacked every single manager who got us to a final. We haven't won fuck all since 2008 and that was a Mickley mouse cup followed by the manager getting screwed in the summer and then sacked.
This is the same debate we have every year. He has fucked over another manager. The irony of course is this manager is only here because he fucked up the manager search.
At what point does Levy have to produce. If poch can lose his job after everything he did then levy certainly can.
He continuously picks the wrong manager, continuously fails to back them, continuously fails to achieve on pitch aims and here he is still one of the best paid football executives in the world and here you are defending him.
Were football supporters. Not property company supporters, we don't support an accountancy firm. We support a football club.
So I don't care about the training ground, I don't care if we have a lodge, I don't care about the NFL, I don't give a shit if we host a boxing match. I care about my football team winning .
We never have under him and we look a million miles off doing so. All that stuff I don't care about you could argue helps us going forward but we have heard it all before. The Carrot gets dangled and dangled and still we fail and still people defend him.
I said all summer, wait and see. Well it ended after a comically bad manager search with a 5th or 6th choice coach who has a squad that is going to seriously struggle to cope.
A good start hid that somewhat but yesterday we got smashed by crystal Palace and looked hopefully toothless. I'm bored of it. I just had to suffer some chelsea wanker produce the most divisive dire football I've ever seen after levy screwed over a beloved manager and here we are months later still watching shit football after that pathetic speech which was clearly full of shit.
What are you backing? There is no history of winning and we are a million miles off winning.
Time to call the under achievement out.
1, Did Levy pick or play in those 5 finals? Ramos was the one that sold Keane and Berbatov (Berbatov had gone on strike) , and you can't blame the 2 players wanting to play for the 2 biggest clubs in the country. Yes we needed a lot better than Fraizer Campbell, but at the time we just wasn't a big enough club that players wanted to join. we had the smallest stadium, we paid the smallest wages so always going to buy top players. he then got rid of a manager that no one wanted to play for, and spent silly in January to get us out of trouble on back on track to being a top 6 team
2, he has backed Nuno, but he couldn't get Paratici to get us the striker needed because the 2 strikers we were connected with went up every time their name was mentioned. he apparently stepped in to block Traore, and thank fuck he did. 7 goals in 4 PL seasons and all he can do is run and dribble, but very little end product. his best attributes would have been a complete waist when playing teams that stuck 11 men behind the ball. if his stats had been worth 45-50m then I'd have been fuming, but they don't
3, Levy is PART OWNER, not staff. the only way he gets shifted is if Lewis buys his 15% stake.
4, he can only back the manager if a, the funds are there. b, a player actually wants to join us (The way your going on anyone would think we are the biggest, richest and best club to ever exist. we are not Barca, RM, and wages and history we can't compete with the other top 5 clubs). the trouble is once on the pitch it's up to the manager and players, they have been good enough to get us into a challenging position, they are the ones that mess up on the day.
5, funny thing is I'm a supporter but I also understand the gulf, which you apparently think is played with monopoly money. how the hell do you expect us to be able to compete with the likes of Man U, Man C, and Chelsea, or even Liverpool. I don't know how old you are, but they are either a lot richer than ENIC, or a hell of a lot bigger clubs than us
6, in the end the other events will be what pays for everything that's needed to pay for the stadium, and the football money will come back towards improving the team (not been open a full season yet). without the training facilities once things can hopefully improve will help draw players to signing. if a top player has the choice of joining us or the smaller clubs and the top teams don't want them, our stadium and training facilities will win the battle.
7, so under him we have been a million miles away? if we had been a million miles away surely we would have been relegated by now, because we are a million times better off with him than we were under Sugar.
8, so what manager do you think would have definitely joined us? and at what cost? managers turned us down because we couldn't pay them what they wanted, or because provide what they wanted. you seem to as I said before think we are bigger than what we actually are..
9, totally agree the good start papered over the cracks, but Palace starting the game without 3 definite starters, losing another early on, and having a player sent off was never going to end well. Nuno got what he had available to start wrong. yes he can only play what Levy has provided for him but he could have still picked a better balanced starting XI. Oh and by the way Paratici didn't actually start till 1st July, and Paratici selected Nuno
10, I'm not backing him, I support Tottenham Hotspur FC, which I've been doing for 51 years. I have seen the massive changes in football and considering the Sugar years in the PL I've seen us become more competitive and not fighting a bottom half finish. I've had the joys of watching some top players and some top times. would I have had an owner that had bottomless pockets and being able to throw money into trophies? not with dirty murderous money like City and Chelsea. would I have liked to luck out like Leicester then yep. no 1 saw that season coming with a team that just survived relegation, and all the top teams opened the door for that fairytale. Yes I know they won the FA Cup last year, they only had 2 tough games in all their way, Man U in the quarters I think, that rested 4-5 regular starters including Fernandes, and then Chelsea in the final, where they scored with their only shot on target a 35 yrd screamer, and their man of the match Schmeichel. sometimes to win games you need LUCK
