Oh I agree, but it's clear that some compromise is going to need to be found between Levy and Poch on this front because we appear to be in an unhealthy stalemate right now, with no real indication things will change any time soon.

LOL stalemate? Haven’t you read JJ’s post FFS ?

I agree - but there’s still no need for the shitty attitudes and attempted derision from those who are happy with the status quo.

I don’t think it’s derision it’s just that the ITK and Poch seem to be aligned but everybody’s ignoring it ?

For clarity. I'm sure the relationship is good. I listen to everything poch says, and JJ for that matter.

The unhealthy stalemate I am referring to is that Poch only seems to want players the club can't (or won't) afford to buy. Which therefore leads to us not making any signings.

Same shit, different excuses. Now it's Poch cause he doesnt want shit players.

We are building new stadium to afford quality players but because that we are building new stadium we cant do it now.

Someone wrote "we cant afford to stay in TOP4". And I agree! We are now in position in which we would need ENIC to give extra money to buy quality players until stadium is finished and the club will generate more money. But they will not do that cause they never do. Problem is that if we dont progress we can regress...

I'm sure Levy knows that. I'm pretty sure ENIC knows that too but they don't care. They will earn money anyway.

Whilst my heart agrees with you I think we should be patient and actually have some figures in front of us as to how much the project has over run and the additional cost incurred as a result.

The thing is we kinda are getting away with it. We’re 3rd right now with a gap to 4th and 5th. We got out of a relatively tricky CL group by getting a draw in nou camp. We’re in league cup semi final and still in fa cup. On paper we’re actually still doing really well despite not spending anything, we’re not regressing we’re just not getting close to winning a league. We haven’t even got a home stadium and have had constant injuries all season.

We get predictions constantly that we have to spend or we’ll drop out of CL but we keep getting top 4, if Kane and Dele hadn’t gotten injured we’d have walked into it this season, mainly due to Poch, although it’ll be a fight, I think we will again. Levy is probably looking at it that we’re doing fine.

If their aim is to keep things steady and spend what you earn this is probably the best it’ll ever get, it’s frustrating but while ENIC are in control I’d get used to it. The only possibility I can see us fans getting to see big money signings (away from funding them with sales) come in the door is if in the summer there’s a serious risk Poch goes, that might force them to change things a bit but I dunno, sometimes I feel like Poch is perfectly fine with it and accepts it far more than we do.

Ironically if we were 6th and 6pts off CL with these injuries we might have actually bought someone this window, right now I just don’t feel any urgency at all.

Thread locked. I'm back now so you won't be getting a freebie in the next thread and I'm juggling the banstick like a cheerleader on acid
