I'm not sure what you mean by apples and oranges or how that relates to what I said. My remarks related to the way you dismissed other posts about the way our club has been run fiscally as "no better than most EPL clubs". I disagree with that and tried to briefly explain why.

And I'm really not sure how you have been proved right about Levy either. I seem to remember telling you that Levy would be prepared to step outside the zone on the odd occassion, when finances permit, but that the core policy was the only sustainable model. This has been proven unequivicably.

I think the CL issue was always a bit of a red herring. It will always be the goal of a club like ours to attain CL qualification. The model adopted by Levy to progress the club has not alterred in the last 12 months. Any statements concerning our persuit of CL qualification were pretty standard stuff that most of us would expect a forward thinking chairman to be saying. Jol said similar things at times.

The examples of Scholar, Leeds etc are of course valid when discussing fiscal management of any football club. They are examples of what poor fiscal management can bring to a club.

To say there was never any need for us to go into debt is a bit like saying there is no need for people to have accidents in their cars. No there isn't but it happens every day and seems to be far easier to do than actually improve the football side of your club whilst making record profits, which to a degree is the holy grail of football stewardship I would have thought.

:roll:
I can't be bothered to go over the same old arguments with you time and time again. You always seem determined to pick an argument where there simply isn't one. You haven't rasied a single point that we haven't spoken about several times in the past.

I know, terribly dreary for your status as SC's "Most Knowledgeable" to be challenged.

Your use of the little emoticon cut me to the quick by the way.

They are in debt because the.
new owners used the clubs assets to secure the debts the have accrued in buying the club.

Shouldn't be allowed; its as simple as that - anyone buying a club with borrowed money should have to secure loans against pre-existing assets - make it a Premier league rule!
