He still earns half of what Adebayor takes home yet is more valuable to the club.

Only thing that I would take issue with here is the fact that our various in-comings only "magically" became players that the managers didn't want or need long after they failed to make the grade. When the transfers went through they were seen as Levy finally backing the manager.Personally I think the record breaking profit has come at a good time what with the finances needed for what will be the most expensive club football ground in the UK.
However I do want to see a successful transfer window, in both outgoings and incomings.
They don't need to be top dollar signings, so long as key area's are addressed and it doesn't look like we are fobbing off the manager with wank players he doesn't want / need.
Absolutely true, but then it obviously wasn't like Levy just phoned in the deal and didn't really try to push it through, and left Poch hanging. We clearly went very hard after the both of them, but just neither ended up working out. Not all deals go through, and it really doesn't reflect poorly on Levy that his record for potential transfers isn't 100%.Possibly. But with Fazio, it felt like we failed to get that mustache lad, and with Stambouli it was Schneiderlin.
He is an ex lawyer turned jorno and is one of the best jorno's in the business. He is also one of Citeh's biggest critic's as well as a fan. His book Richer Than God is well worth a read.According to Wiki a Man City supporter. Hmmm...
Are you this boring in all aspects of your life, or is it just an internet thing?So. We won the profit margin trophy after all then. Is there room in our trophy cabinet to put it.? Maybe we can have an open top bus parade or something

After hearing how transfers really get done, people have no idea how true this is, for every club.Absolutely true, but then it obviously wasn't like Levy just phoned in the deal and didn't really try to push it through, and left Poch hanging. We clearly went very hard after the both of them, but just neither ended up working out.

I just think that most of us severely underestimate the time and difficulty of carrying out these transfers. We get the luxury of just sitting back and saying "hey, Poch wants that guy, so what's the big problem? Why haven't we bought him yet? What is taking so long? Levy clearly isn't backing him..."
Well he doesn`t really own the club. But yes, otherwise your right. And if he thinks he deserves to earn more than the other 19 league chairman then thats up to him. However, in my opinion, he doesn`t.When you own the club, you get to pick your wages. Right or wrong.

Every other club in the League.Where else would you find an MD paid considerably less than their employees?
isnt it Queens english plebGreaves357_bestever Can you speak the Kings English please and not Eatonian.
But Levy is the highest earning executive in the market within which our club operates (the Premier League) according to the article that started this thread. Unless he's led us to a bunch of titles I don't remember, he's overpaid even in the absurd world of professional football.I meant where other than football.
Whether you think players are overpaid or not doesn't change the fact that is is the market in which they operate.
In a world where players are paid £100k per week I can't get too upset about the guy running everything earning £40k.
