How about if I told you that you can criticise how we are run but also acknowledge when the owner has done something right?

The issue is there is a lot of people bandwagoning the levy hate train specifically because he’s Jewish.No, you and a lot of people have been told why this analogy isn't acceptable. Yet people still decide to use it. If they do that consciously, then it I'd them using anti semitic tropes.
I'm jewish, and not comfortable with this analogy. It's one of the worst.
You are still defending it. You cannot tell people it isn't abuse, when you have no idea about how people from a minority feel about certain things.
Because he is gaining the profits of ENIC to the detriment of the club's future. Maybe you suggest another word then?The issue is there is a lot of people bandwagoning the levy hate train specifically because he’s Jewish.
I genuinely can’t remember the last time someone else was so consistently labelled a “parasite” or “vermin”. I’ve never seen Sol Campbell called those things before, why Levy?
Even if you mean no harm, relatively speaking, it’s not hard to just call him something else.
I hate Levy more than the next man for how he runs this club, I’m not Jewish, but I’m also not comfortable with the fans who call him a parasite or words to that effect.
I’m not even justifying this nonsense with a proper response.Because he is gaining the profits of ENIC to the detriment of the club's future. Maybe you suggest another word then?
you asked why Levy is being called a parasite and I answered you. And you suggested to call him something else. So can you suggest another term so that people can use it instead of the word you don't like?I’m not even justifying this nonsense with a proper response.

You’re both missing the overarching point. I concede the point and understand why people are using the word parasite to describe greedy owners. Mike Ashley is a good example. The Glazers are a Jewish family and quite frankly the United fans are entitled bellends who want the glazers out only when they lose. They spend an obscene amount of money every year.I have to say I am with @coy-spurs1882 on this one. I find it very uncomfortable that Levy's actions keep getting linked to his Jewish roots when that was never the intention of the poster (same applies to the term "tight"). I appreciate pulling people up on terminology is well meaning but I think it is doing more harm than good as being Jewish is constantly being brought up in this thread alongside universal hate for Levy.
The definition of a parasite is "an organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense" which is extremely applicable to Levy as an individual (and definitely not Campbell).
A better comparison would be to google "parasite" and "Mike Ashley" or "Glazers" and you will find plenty of times that term is used to describe owners looking to profit from football over on-field success.
It’s literally not about the player, as been said multiple times! It’s the way we go about our business! We’ve had Itk that we were interest since April (we knew it’d be a straight loan) yet we spent months on it, then acted shocked when Barca pulled the plug. It’s levy 101. Fact if the matter is, we’re now woefully short with less than 48 hours to sort all out business incomings and outgoings. History doesn’t lie, and you can’t blame people for getting annoyed at it.Honestly get a grip you lot. You’d complain if the deal for Fati was just a loan and then you’d complain when we let it go because we are not a bottom feeding club. I have literally been fighting with a spurs fan who complained fati was like replacing berbatov with Frasier Campbell and then he went on to moan when it feel through. This fan base is literally delusional, the fati deal is 100% correct decision if we didn’t gAin ownership

Maybe it’s coming from the people that were booing the Levy out chants at Fulham on Tuesday night.Have I imagined the last few years of anti Levy chants home and away, where's this notion he's still popular and beloved come from?
Yet he isnt. They haven't taken a penny out of the club. It's plain as day on the P & L.Because he is gaining the profits of ENIC to the detriment of the club's future. Maybe you suggest another word then?
Those people just don’t think anti-levy sentiment should interfere with supporting the team during a match. I doubt that they are actually “levy-in”Maybe it’s coming from the people that were booing the Levy out chants at Fulham on Tuesday night.
Profit doesn’t have to be in cash/dividends. The enormous capital gain is a profit on the original investment. That capital gain has been used by leveraging the stadium/ticket/broadcast income to secure a very large debt to build the new stadium without ever investing more than they would be able to take out.Yet he isnt. They haven't taken a penny out of the club. It's plain as day on the P & L.
At least get that fact right.
Has he stifled the club on the playing field, yes.
dz he risk adverse and not doing enough to move this club forward, yes.
