The problem you are having is your emotions on the matter.
I remember pre Levy, pre Sky money, pre the sale of carrick, Keane, Berbatov and modric, pre the CL money.
The question is what has Enic themselves put into the club? A 15mil convertable that has allowed them to take control of the club plus their initial stake..that's it.
So what now? Yes the club has built up but who has paid for it? I tell you who...US. CL prices for Uefa football.
There is no doubting Levy has managed the club beautifully, but then he does take home the basic wage of a FTSE 100 CEO. For a company who's turnover is that of a medium size wholesaler.
Now where is the money going? On a big saleable asset.....certainly not on playing staff.
So when push comes to shove and the club is sold who will reap the rewards of a massive stadium and a waiting list as long as my cock? One guess.
He has played the long game.....as a capitalist, I can say he's played a fucking blinder...
But to portray him as some kind of martyr is naive in the extreme.
Lets hope some rich Arab buys into the dream.....or we will have the biggest stadium in non league football.
That is correct - although we did spend a hefty chunk of that already on new signings
Another interesting link looking at PL wages over the last 10 years (you can click on the different season at the top)

Very good post Carlito.
I do hence my bemusement to a 22% pay rise in a year when our profit fell.
It's been a while since I read the proposal so hopefully someone can correct me but as I recall we're starting an £8m cosmetic start on the plot soon to attract investors , these investors in stadium & naming rights will fund the build.
I thought it said our staff costs dropped but due to loss of income the % rose. The loss could have been avoided with a better winter window but that is of course speculation.
I'll have a look at the figures in a bit as I'm a bit tied up at the mo
Edit -- oh under arry, yes , sorry. I thought u meant the stats on the op. good olde 'arry eh?

And dont forget the 38m bid for Aguerro...................... :adelol:
To be fair we did buy him & loaned him straight out to City, it was all part of the Ade deal
Well if you want champions league football you have to pay champions league wages.
Yay! we get to sit in a half empty stadium whilst Levy walks into the sunset with tonnes of Arab / Russian money.
