You jest but I saw him next to Levy in the recent video and even Levy makes him look tall.
Isn't that like saying Peter Dinklage makes people look tall?

This 1,000,000x and hopefully now with Paratici as Managing Director of football it will be changing and with this set-up it will benefit our managers as we will be more aligned and consistent on strategy.It really isn't. I'd say very few Ftse 100 companies CEO's have much of a clue on how things work on the shop floor. They don't need to, and as such they wouldn't get involved, they employ people that do understand it to do it for them. That's where Levy has been going wrong, and what needs to change.
NoSo can we now kill the myth that ENIC "has no ambition"?
I'm as excited as anyone, but the sheer number of fair weather fans we have is depressing.
Yep, it's always been a ridiculous accusation.So can we now kill the myth that ENIC "has no ambition"?

Maybe, but our total net spend over the last five heads is £95m. We rank 17th for total next spend over that period for the current PL clubs.
Seems odd with Levy being such a smart man.Yep, it's always been a ridiculous accusation.
It's not a lack of ambition it's been a total lack of understanding of how to achieve that ambition.
A lack of willingness to do what's required to achieve that ambition, hopefully that's changed. We'll see.Yep, it's always been a ridiculous accusation.
It's not a lack of ambition it's been a total lack of understanding of how to achieve that ambition.
So do you honestly believe Levy/Enic don't care if we win things, and are content to just take part?No
This is a start, but let’s not pretend the slate is clean just by this one thing.
My personal opinion is that if they don't get Ronaldo, Man Utd are sitting higher in the tableSo if City had made a proper bid for Kane and got Kane, they wouldn’t have gone for Ronaldo
If City hadn’t gone for Ronaldo, Man U wouldn’t have gone for Ronaldo
If Ronaldo hadn’t gone to Man U, they would have about 6 fewer points and would be on the brink of CL elimination at the group stages again.
If Man U had 6 fewer points and were about to get dumped out of the CL, OGS would have been sacked
If OGS had been sacked, Man U would have gone for and got Conte
If Conte had gone to Man U, we would be left with Fonseca and we wouldn’t be so excited for the rest of the season.
So thanks Man City for your derisory piss tame bid of £75 for Harry Kane.

You really are a hater, A&C.No
This is a start, but let’s not pretend the slate is clean just by this one thing.
I've always believed that they do want to win things but Levy has just made some mistakes on the football side of the club and we've had to get the new stadium up and running to generate the revenues to be competitive.So do you honestly believe Levy/Enic don't care if we win things, and are content to just take part?
Indeed. A 60k stadium is only making money if you get people to fill it every week. You only fill it if people want to watch what's going on inside, and they are only going to want to watch long term if it's entertaining and you are winning.Have to agree. You don't invest 1.2bn in the stadium without ambition even if ENIC are safeguarding their investment
I don't think its about convincing its more that he's got so many black marks against him over the years its very hard to forgive and forget all of those.You really are a hater, A&C.
We need more money to be competitive - Levy builds multifunctional, world class Super Stadium as the catalyst
We need better Facilities - Levy builds state-of-the-art Training facilities, now known world over and a away camp for many top national sides and their players.
We need a top manager - appoints one of the top 5 coaches in the world.
We need to show ambition - see all three points above.
We need to spend money - spends £500m on players in last 5 years whilst building new stadium.
I know you have information coming in from all angles regarding Levy, but please, tell me what else he has to do to convince you.
That, my friend, is some of the best info you've ever posted!As I posted yesterday bringing in Conte is not down to Levy It's Paratici with the financial support of Lewis. The package Conte wanted may not have been an option in the Summer without the Lewis's getting behind it like they have. I'm not defending Levy here because lets face it the Summer was a disaster, but he's not as much involved with this as many seem to think.
Really hoping now that this is the case with all footballing decisions bar appointing the DOF, which it's starting to look like it is.
