He or they have not bought Chelsea to fight for mid table, he is more than aware that they are a successful football club of modern times which needs to stay that way for them.“New owner in big spend during first transfer window” shocker.
The test was always going to be whether he could or would sustain the spending in the long term, as Abramovich did.
But the point was that particular people were immensely excited when the news broke of RA demise and informed us in great detail that they were finished.
When people like myself said they would not be we were castigated for it including yourself I believe that we are wrong.
But as you can see that was not the case and Chelsea are probably the highest spenders again.
Although not Levy's fault as such but you saw last week that we still have a way to go to match them properly as we were outclassed for long periods and tactically but managed to get a fortune draw so well done for the spirit but a lot to do still to really match these clubs.
