In fact, even that myth needs a little bit more scrutiny. Our average league position in the 23 years since Lewis / Levy took took control has improved by just 2.3 places compared to a comparative time frame before, while they've simultaneously exploited and profited from the Premier League gravy train like nobody else

Your stats are also completely and utterly disingenuous.
In the 90's:
Our highest league finish was 7th.
We finished 10th or lower 7 times.
We finished 14th or lower 3 times.
Our average league position was 10.8.
Even you would give the new owners a few years to start improving things right? let's say 3 years grace?
Since the 03/04 season,
We have finished 10th or lower 1 time.
We have finished above 7th (our best finish for a decade in the 90s) 15 times
We have finished 4th or higher 7 times
Our highest finish has been 2nd
Our average position has been 5.45

I'm thinking that it ought to be fully covered
That way we would call it the Daniel-Levy-Dome
In his prison jumpsuit
The tired argument "but only 1 trophy in 23 years." Which team that was at our level when ENIC took over has won more than 1 trophy? Screw that, which team has made it to more than one final? And of the teams that did, which one's position would you rather we were in right now?
You throw out these one-liners like they're some sort of thoughtful analysis of the trajectory of THFC over the past 20 years. You make these statement as if we started out at Liverpool/United/Woolwich/City/Chelsea levels and have done squat, whereas the reality is we started out at Everton/Villa/Newcastle/West Ham levels.
No concept of context whatsoever.
100%
We're in a great place now, but we should have been winning cups and competing from say 2010, after 10 years in charge.
We have also had some really poor seasons
2013-14 AVB
2014-15 Poch meh
2019-20 Poch/Jos
2020-21 Jos fired
2022-23 awful
And some alsolute shockers
2002-03
2003-04 Jacques the Cack
2008-09 2 pts from 9
And firing managers twice, in the week before the most important match of the season
FA cup semi
LC FINAL
10 years too fucking long to wait
Jam tomorrow is his mantra
Has nothing to do with FFP but it's still embarrassing as fuck though to be owned by a convicted criminal, also major egg on the ENIC in "doing it the right way" brigade.
At least with a shiekh you have some trophies to show for it.
Richest Club in London you say? I say its time to build that fucking cheese room!!!!!!!
That's something that happens to all teams at one point or another, even the successful ones.
Yes the Sheikh's are squeaky clean and haven't committed any murders or anything
Profit = revenue minus expenditure
So really the question is, where and how is this money being prioritised relative to other clubs
Miss the point much?Yes the Sheikh's are squeaky clean and haven't committed any murders or anything
You'd rather be owned by a murderous regime for the sake of some trophies because of course all crimes are the same aren't they...

I don’t have all the financials to compare against but I’m assuming we have the highest op profit at the same time. To your point though it’s really a dumb way to describe it as Barca being in fourth shows.
So we've gone from "Doing it the right way" to "it was only a little inside trading guv"
Who are you Gordon Gekko?
It is truly sad how much enjoyment this development seems to give John, Doom and Justin.
More than the good football under Ange I suspect.
