Time to upset some people. OK so its pinch of salt , and oversimplification time. But.....
Comparing last years revenue to the 2019 one, when you compare it to the other clubs is a serious increase, and we havent moved into the new stadium.
Next year with that type of growth we should overhaul Arsenal, and be fairly neck and neck with Chelsea. On that basis i'm happy for Levy and friends to keep going in the direction they are.
More growth = bigger wages = small chance of some better players.
There was a guy on Wembley way on Wednesday night. with a #Levyout placard. I honestly despair.Preemptive bump for 23:01.
I mentioned this before and it’s meant with sincerity but if people really don’t like the way the owners run the club why do you do nothing about it?
Because a placard will obviously compel you to walk away from managing your business. SmhThere was a guy on Wembley way on Wednesday night. with a #Levyout placard. I honestly despair.
Let’s hope so. I might be dead by the time we win the league.I can see where this train of thought comes from, but the grass is not always greener. Your Gooner supporting mate probably thinks that's what he wants but when Arsenal get relegated for financial twattery and are the laughing stock of the entire league, I bet that 1 league title doesn't look so shiny. Especially if they're still down there 10 years later like Leeds.
Ironically, this slow, painful burn is exactly what WILL allow us to make big signings in the future. The stadium will be a big selling point, the extra ticket money will fill our pockets, and when ENIC do eventually sell up, we're far more likely to be bought by someone with big ambitions rather than a chancer like Mike Ashley.
I'm pretty sure his feet wouldn't even be touching the floor.Not him, shortarses don't need to point their knees inwards on the tube to avoid blocking the walkway.
Levy could stretch his legs out as far as he could without blocking it.
For a little fella his feet are fucking enormous - looks a bit like Gru
Dogs, you paint a beautifully hopeful and optimistic picture of the future, mate. And why wouldn't you? This is exactly the fantasy we've been sold by ENIC in order to justify limiting investment in the squad whilst simultaneously prioritising millions in operating cash flow for a property development that will garner them huge profit. Like every fan, I'd love for your vision to be realised. But the reality is, ENIC are actively trying to sell the Club. I very much doubt they'll even be here in 5 years. And even if they fail to find a buyer and do stick around, don't expect them to change their time-honoured recruitment policy of rarely spending more on incomings than they recoup in sales. Where we've been told "money was available this window but Poch didn't want anyone" I don't think it's too loose a translation to read, "£11 million was available from the sale of Dembele but Poch didn't trust that amount of money would buy a player of significant quality to improve the squad". We're being duped mate. The NWHL won't be the game changer we hope it to be under ENIC: they'll still continue with their "sell to buy" transfer policy right up until the time they flog the Club. I really hope I'm wrong mate, and the increased match day revenue will, just as promised, be the catalyst that allows us to truly compete in the market, but evidence of the last 2 windows - despite the myriad excuses - is pretty damning, isn't it. And any misinformation we're spun via certain ITK (unwittingly, for the most part, I'm sure) is just an attempt to keep us further wedded to that "future spending power" myth and further away from the truth: remember this time last year when we were told "targets had already been lined up for the summer because Poch wants players in early", "there's £150 million transfer budget", "it's a huge summer for Levy/ENIC cos they know they have to back the manager", "it's time to shit or get off the pot for Levy and ENIC", etc.? All plausible and convenient "info leaks" especially around ST renewal time. Yet the only irrefutable fact is that not a single player has been bought in 2 windows, (probably because during that time no players have been sold for a significant amount of money). We all of course hope your "prophesy" comes true, let's hope it does. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than you saying to me, "see mate, I was right all along, and you were totally wrong about ENIC". So let's see how the next window pans out. I'm keeping everything crossed that you get to say "I told you so" as early as next summer. Take it easy, Dogs! COYSI've been saying this for years but Levy's not f***ing about, he's trying to grow us into the biggest club in football.
He's not interested in short term gain, only long term, sustainable, growth.
Revenue comes in 3 streams, TV, Match day, and commercial:
TV is huge, but similar to all the other Prem teams.
Match day will be the biggest in the world when the stadium opens.
But commercial was always our weakness, we could never compete with the established giants.
So he's turned the stadium into a multi-eventer and is pushing for a strong NFL tie in to create large non-football commercial growth.
Once the non-footballing commercial revenue is established we'll see more investment on the pitch as the footballing commercial growth will be the next area.
Our fans really need to stop panicking as in 5 years we will be as unrecognisable as we are today compared with 10 years ago.
Great post! I think this also underlines the importance of staying in the top 4, and why Poch isn't prioritising the cups.I've been saying this for years but Levy's not f***ing about, he's trying to grow us into the biggest club in football.

Given that you've been on this site for the last 10.5 years, I can only assume that you remember at least that far back, so I continue to be amazed at how someone can have witnessed the constant, remarkable improvements this club has made in that time and bear such antipathy towards the people responsible for it. Even if the overriding plan is to sell us at a massive profit, then the fact that Enic have improved us from being the level that Everton currently are to the level we are at now in order to do so can only be a good thing.Dogs, you paint a beautifully hopeful and optimistic picture of the future, mate.

No you're right mate. And I promise you it's not my intention to "doom-monger". I'm so proud of how brilliantly well we're doing and unbelievably grateful that we have such a fantastic manager who's achieved all this success despite the financial limitations that have been imposed upon him. Now just imagine what we might achieve if Poch was properly, significantly backed. We're so tantalisingly close mate. And as a fellow supporter, don't you want to see investment in the squad?You write posts like things are really bad for us.
Definitely him. He popped his shoes off just before we pulled into Green Park. I managed to snap this baby without him noticing.For a little fella his feet are fucking enormous - looks a bit like Gru
