All credit to Avb but Levy you let us down

"All those crucifying Levy"

Haaaaaa

There's so much in that comment!

1. He's not a religious figure
2. It's called critique. Not crucifixion

If you wonder why you guys get a bad name it's for things like this. It's not a fascist or communist state fortunately! Public figures are up for scrutiny

All those crucifying Levy, I have to ask, where would we be if it wasn't for him?

Some people here want instant gratification and don't seem realise there will be consequences for us if we splashed out the cash recklessly. There is a right way to do things and a wrong way. Guess which way Levy is doing things?

This instant gratification for success in football, I liken it to this:

You're an average bloke, your not ugly and are perfectly capable of pulling birds, you might not ever get that fitty you always wanted but that's no bother, you have a bird and she is respectable. However, after some time you get jealous of the flash blokes with the fit birds, you wonder what it would be like to shag a bird like that one hanging off the rich Arab guys arm. Or that one who is always with the Russian bloke. So you decide you are going to find out. Instead of putting in the ground work though, the chatting up, taking out etc, you decide to cheat, to take a shortcut. You decide to go to a brass and pay a ludicrously overpriced amount of money to get your end away. Just to know what its like, for that gratification. You find one, go in, spunk your money and your load then come out feeling happy for a few minutes, or at least until the glow wears off. Then, the next day, you regret it, your skint as you've blown all your money and cant afford to take your missus out and she ends up dumping you. You find out you have incurable dickfalloffitis a few months later and are told its terminal. You go in to irreversible decline for the next few years until you are wreck of a man and all the respectable girls don't want to touch you anymore, the only ones you can attract are the fat, spotty, local bikes who have been around a bit to say the least and even they don't stay around for long. It was worth it though wasn't it? That one night was worth ruining your future wasn't it?

On the other hand, you decide to aim higher. You decide to put in the ground work, you start chatting to the fit bird down the pub you have always liked and manage to get here to go on a date, great! This is fun. You wine and dine her, treat her right and after a few dates, get your reward. Word gets about the local girls, 'This guys fun!'. So, you try you luck with another fitty, she, to your surprise, accepts, result! Same turn out, wine/dine, few dates, sex! Your getting good at this now. So things start to turn a corner for you, the fit birds want to know you now, they approach you instead. Whey hey! Then, you see the girl of your dreams, your confident now, you know you can do this, you ask her out. Success! You get a date, things start out good, a few dates turn in to seeing each other, a couple of years later, you end up getting married, this is more like it, you have stability and you have a future together....... You get that gratification all the time now because the fit bird is now your wife.

He is slowly but surely building up the club, upon solid foundations, year by year, in quantifiable increments. We are one of only a few teams to do this and achieve measurable results.

Yeah, but, like, if you had Dickfallofitis...wouldn't your chopper have went South before you got around the the fat spotty bikes? So, that's alright then

On a more serious note: it doesn't matter how you explain this, whether long or short, simple or complex, traditional or inventive, some folk have seen Chelsea and Citeh getting shiny new toys...AND THEY WANT SOME. No amount of reasoning will convince them that far from being to blame for being a tight wad ****, Daniel Levy is actually doing a fecking good job.
But, good luck in trying.

And if they do not get some, they will scream and scream and scream.

Then moan like fuck when we announce the club is losing money and everyone is for sale due to overspending on trying to get some flashy foreign names who have had about 2 good seasons but because City, PSG and Chelsea were mentioned in an online article back in 2010, their price was suddenly £30m rather than £10m.

Spot on - It illustrated the sheep like mentality of a growing and large number of 'top league' football followers, who are whipped up by the media into feeling a need for instant gratification, that can only ever come from 'mega' rich owners.

Give me an Everton, Dortmund, Swansea and Spurs type club to rally behind, any day of the week.
