Whether you believe he has or not, wtf has it got to do with one transfer deal? It's boring when every single thing that doesn't work out is put at Levy's feet. If you actually stuck to the things he got wrong, and there's things you can point to, it wouldn't sound as pathetic as when he's blamed for everything from transfers not happening to the milk gone sour at the training ground.
Tel not wanting to sign for us is systematic of the problem. We have needed to sign outfield players ever since before the transfer window opened. So far we have signed zero. We have failed to find a solution to a pressing need and that immediately leads to the asking of big questions about how Levy and the transfer committee conducts their business.
If we were at a higher level, then where we presently are, we would have been in a stronger position to attract the level of talent that is required to make further strides forward. We would have been a club that players wanted to sign for and not just a club that seemingly hopes that it can get deals over the line.
Tel, if considered a target in that alternative scenario of our being more successful, would more likely have been keen to sign for us for the exciting project that he would have seen and not the sinking ship that we are in reality.
We presently sit just outside of a relegation fight and with no apparent intent to improve the strength of our squad, outside of the return from injury of players, to be able to step up in the table. We have put too much on the players that have avoided injury and have risked that those players themselves will be injured too.
Where is our ambition? Where is our forward thinking? Where are we going as a football club?
Those questions will have a serious bearing on whether players will want to join. And as we can see, we don’t seem to be all that irresistible right now.
So I doubt the hierarchy at the club and question whether we are serious as a football club.
