It's Levy's fault we finish top 5 every season after over 15 years of never finishing above 7th. It's Levy's fault that we've gone from a team of has beens and nobodies to a club whose players are courted by the best sides in the world every summer. It's Levy's fault that we've played in Europes elite competition for only the second time in our history, having not done so for half a century, seeing the formation of one of the worlds greatest players and teaching the then European Champions a lesson in football. It's Levy's fault that we have a squad full of internationals from top footballing nations, rather than just the Slovenian Trevor Brooking, the Serbian Beckenbaur and of course, Andy Booth.
Levy has his faults, but I don't want to imagine what we'd be like had ENIC not bought us and he'd not run the ship.
i agree with all of that but im at the stage where i wonder whether hes run out of ideas for getting us to the next level, i.e. consistent Top-4 finishers. Im quite happy with ENIC's financial commitment, for the record, its just the leadership and decision making on the football side where we seem to have run out of options. Case in point for me would be if LVG joins - Levy and Co should make it clear to Tim that heres his chance to learn from the master with him taking over in a few years time. I know Tim might see it otherwise, but thats what a good manager does he persuades people to see things his way for the benefit of the club. Anyone can hire and fire with enough cash, we need to build something sustainable for once!
