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

Empty or not, thats a shit trophy cabinet...In fact, even that myth needs a little bit more scrutiny.

I'm thinking that it ought to be fully coveredSo we're sponsering ourselves.
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?23 managers in 23 years
Tried to move the club to Stratford
Always selling our best players as we can never meet their ambitions.
Highest season ticket prices in Europe
Terrible appointment of managers
Terrible timing of sacking those Terrible oppointmens
Oh year .... 1 trophy
So you put all that against a new stadium ( which most pl teams have now) and moving up 5 positions in the league.
Wonderful
100%It’s taken them 23 years to invest in a proper football management structure
That's something that happens to all teams at one point or another, even the successful ones.And were incharge when we were also playing the worst(since i have been going),ever!
Sort of evens itself out a bit...
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.
We need to have a conversation about how folk get revenue and profit mixed up
Richest club in London is a stretch, what does that even mean in this context? lol
Miss the point much?Yes the Sheikh's are squeaky clean and haven't committed any murders or anything

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.We need to have a conversation about how folk get revenue and profit mixed up

So we've gone from "Doing it the right way" to "it was only a little inside trading guv"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...
