Don't be so hard on yourself. For all hisBoehly and I share an alma mater, but he has clearly done more with his education than I have with mine.
You cannot keep us downThe meltdown crew have been waiting all summer for this ?. Go for your lives - it’s your time to shine ?
I don’t think we expect to match it we are just fed up of it other clubs doing what’s required and pushing the boat out on big players.Personally I can’t criticise the club for not matching what is completely insane and epitomises everything that is screwed up about this sport
Cheers dude, thats exactly my opinion as well but would be never able to put it in words like that.It isn't an excuse, it's football. Imagine you and I both happen to run similar businesses equally well and then I win the Euromillions one day. I decide to poach your entire staff, the talent you want to hire to replace the staff I've just poached, buy better offices, better equipment and then expand globally... how can you stop me? The answer is you can't. You've done absolutely nothing wrong and yet you've still lost. Your only hope is that you too can win the Euromillions, but you can't plan or strategise for that, just hope and pray.
The blame isn't on you in the way it isn't on ENIC or Levy or anyone, it's on football. It's a reflection of society and we live in a highly unregulated capitalist society. Unfortunately, football is unique in that we're so wedded to our club that we refuse to acknowledge how broken it all is because we can't give it up, so we lie to ourselves every year that maybe it'll be different because football without hope is nothing, then shit like this happens and we all come crashing back down to earth again because we're reminded of how fucked the system is.
It's the fault of FIFA, UEFA, the FA etc for welcoming these people into the sport and also the media for enabling it via a lack of public criticism because, not only do we as fans have to suffer, we have to watch pundits on Sky and BT wank themselves silly every week while state-owned football clubs owned by racists and homophobes pump illegally gotten billions (acquired at huge cost to ordinary people) to buy toys that are shinier and prettier than ours while we get ridiculed for being Spursy (whatever the fuck that means) even though we've done everything by the book.
It's fucking infuriating but I've accepted it and I choose to live in hope despite it all because I love my club and I'd rather watch us in this broken corrupt system than not at all because in and amongst all of it there are still moments that bring me joy like nothing else really can.

There's always a next breakout talent that we're all dribbling over. Lacroix last season, wasn't it? Our season/future didn't implode when we didn't sign him either.Perhaps next summer there will be another break out talent.
It doesn't and it won't. They are keeping us chasing our tails and we all deep down inside know it.Well there goes a potential target for bext summers window. This just makes the 'if we can't get our top targets this summer no point buying for the sake of it' and 'keeping our powder dry for when our targets are available' lines people like to band about while applauding oura business even more ridiculous. Poch wanted de jong and de ligt got neither bought no one and both went on to go elsewhere. Why wait for players we have no chance of getting. Next summer city Liverpool Chelsea and United will all go again and we will again miss out on targets. We have spent 115m (if you include romero fee this window which is ridiculous) and we jad an injection of 150m. We've spent less than West Ham who had no cash injection. Make it make sense.
Did you already forget that we moved on Lenglet after Bastoni was deemed “impossible?”Well there goes a potential target for bext summers window.

The doom-mongers will not appreciate your logic! Delete your post and run before they stone you for your pragmatism!There's always a next breakout talent that we're all dribbling over. Lacroix last season, wasn't it? Our season/future didn't implode when we didn't sign him either.
