This little bald tadpole was presented with the perfect opportunity to catapult us into the world football elite 3 years ago..great manager great team at the time .....and chose not to

What a idiot

Winning the league doesn't catapult you to the football elite otherwise Leceister would be there.

What gets you there is building an infrastructure that allows yoy to eventually compete with the biggest teams consistently off the pitch so you can compete with them consistently on it.

Tell that to the gooners... doesn’t always work out like that.

Baffles me how much he is criticized too.

In terms of business and building the clubs infrastructure to the point it's at now is incredible.

In terms of on field business, its debatable but he has still left us in a much better position than we were 10 years ago.

That 18 month period where we didn't sign any players is probably the biggest blip on his radar and he will have to take some time to fix that fuck up but otherwise he has done an excellent job of elevating the club in all aspects.
Can't agree with that either.

Tbh dragon lost me after the first sentence. Saying the club was for sale during the build and then not as soon as stadium was on show to the workd makes no sense at all. If anything the logic is the opposite. It all sounds like opinion and supposition from someone that doesn’t like Mourinho. And to make out the property developments are something mega in terms of London development is just nonsense. The two sites on high road west are decent developments but nothing earth shattering and neither is the south podium if that ever comes to fruition. If Lewis cared as much as Dragon is making out he’d have put his hand in his own pocket at some point in the last decade and he hasn’t.

somewhere in the stadium thread is posted that JL did put up 50m out of his own pocket. wished it was a lot more on the footballing side but as in the dragon1 post is the thing that has stopped him was that if Lewis invested so much towards the team, Levy had to match a certain % or he would lose some of his % of our ownership

Wasn't that a 0 interest loan? Or some sort of stock buy back?? I'm fairly certain we have never received anything without some sort of stipulation

without looking for the actual post I can't say, but if it was a 0% loan it should start showing up on the figures when they post our annuals

I agree, were they ever really even considered an elite football club across the world despite all the titles they won etc. So I don't know how Levy could have catapulted us into the echelons of the footballing elite with one league title.

What I will not forgive is ENIC / Levy not finding the money to tie Tanganga down to lose this lad for what in premiership terms is a few bob would be unforgivable. I am still trying to get over the penny pinching that cost us Dybala / Grealish / Fernandes .
Still the club motto is to dare is to do ; cough cough .

All that stuff about Dybala, Grealish and Fernandes largely depends on what you choose to believe according to what you read, but personally, I don't believe everything I read, especially not during those f**king transfer windows, which I call the bullshit season..
