I’ve always been balanced on Levy/ENIC, you can’t ignore what they’ve done on the infrastructure side of the club BUT PR wise they’re been shocking and most importantly the running of and strategy on the football decisions is absolute ineptitude at it’s finest.
Manager hires in general have been poor and far more have failed than not.
Player recruitment has been scattergun as we have no consistent playing philosophy.
We’ve not invested in players at the right times and when we have we’ve wasted a lot of money.
And we’ve stubbornly held onto players for too long when that’s not been the best decision on the football side, sometimes you need to take a slightly under market value sale on a player who has run its course or is becoming a negative influence.
Fergie at Man.U for example got rid of big names mostly at the right time for the greater good of the squad. Cases in point, we held onto Eriksen for too long trying to convince him to stay when it was clear his head was gone and so we could’ve sold him for say £50mil instead we ran his contract down to 6months and took about a £10mil deal. Harry Kane is another one where the best all round decision would’ve been to have entered into negotiations with City and worked out a deal and reinvested, as it is we are stuck with a player playing at 80% who is bound to be negatively effecting the atmosphere of the squad.
Sigh.
