I hate football

I decided not to get involved in yesterdays ITK madness. Why? Because I knew exactly what was going to happen.
Levy's good at what he does, but also lucky. The VdV signing last summer proves this.
The worst thing about this whole mess, is that the party line coming out of the club for the past 5 years has been 'get CL, build the profile of the club, and return to the top table of English and European football'. Well, we got there, done all that, then threw it all away in the space of 2 transfer windows. CL football was the catalyst to attract the next level of player that would keep us in the top4 and beyond. But in the end we tried to cut corners, do it on the cheap, wheel and deal, and in the end got absolutely nowhere.
At the time, Comolli was the right man at the wrong time, and probably partnered with the wrong manager(s). Levy never expected Harry to take to the levels that he has, and there lies the rub. Now we are where we are, do we return to a more continental style of manager with the DOF system in place, or continue with what we have and just put it down to a couple of poor transfer windows? Personally, I've got no idea.
It's a sad sorry, embarrassing mess. And H, (it would appear) has now alienated 2 of our 3 strikers by telling them 'stay or go, but we are upgrading' (if itk's are to be believed), and for me has indicated that he's a little out of his depth, and maybe slightly losing interest with the prospect of England on the horizon.
Sorry about the ramble, but for me, a little bit of my love and respect for our club has died over the last few days. My overall feelings now for football as a whole are apathy and a sense of 'what's the point'
Have a nice day.
