Erm.....Ange literally talked about it at length. He is the main public face of the club.
Don't rate him, never did.
Good riddance
Harry kane who the fudge is Harry kane?
Curious - why? None of them seem any more objectionable than the tax exile due to be done for insider trading who lives on a yacht in the Bahamas instead of paying his dues - this after betting against the pound on Black Wednesday and hurting a lot of ordinary Brits in the process. To say nothing of allegedly violently forcing natives off their land in Patagonia.
I get that people don't want Saudi or Emirati or Russian blood money, fair enough. But these blokes? How different are they from Lewis? Some may even be better people, mate.
True. More so when they're rewarded for their brutality too, which is also the case with Saudi Arabia. Khashoggi's murder silenced a lot of internal and external dissent, with zero pushback from the West - on balance they came out ahead.
Still, think Henry Winter or Kaveh Sohekol or Barney Ronay aren't worth setting up a saw grinder job over, so our hacks are probably safe.
(sigh)...I knew you'd go there. I pondered writing a defense before I'd started but thought I'd see...
Just FYI, I have written pretty extensively on my own social outlets about the hypocrisy of such criticisms, particularly when it comes to the 'oil' leagues vs the MLS...I actually take some offense to the ASSUMPTION that I am not aware of such things. As for the 'people' thing, yup, thank you for that, well aware (if I sounded offended, I am LOL). There are good people and bad people. Full stop.
Every single person you mentioned remains a turn-off for me because I find ALL extreme wealth corporations pretty distasteful. Your Joe Lewis observation? Been there and commented on that. NOT news to me. Yes, I find it very poor. It is why I have NEVER commented on our board being necessarily 'morally superior'. They aren't.
What I will say is that the people YOU mention are part of the fiscal arms race in football which is actually poisoning any notion that a football club can be run with fiscal responsibility. Those types of owner are precisely the reason supporters like you are frustrated by the relative lack of expenditure. With reason. If we want to WIN we have to spend stupid amounts of over-cash. I personally think it is fudged, and get far more joy out of growing a young exciting team than buying a 'short fit' (good job really because that ain't gonna happen LOL)...where I think we both agree is that whilst being 'fiscally responsible' on the football side, the current lot are delighted to make tons of cash and pile it into other areas of the 'business' which end up making 'shareholders' happy, whilst us lot are left looking at a glimpse of glory here or there.
The ONLY thing which can change this is for football to regulate itself. Fat chance sadly. This is the mad world we live in...
Again, the thing which gets me the most about how this started is that you actually assumed my opinion was based on their nationalities. Corporate capitalist culture EVERYWHERE grinds corpses and gears. That's a given. To repeat - MY problem with THESE entities is that they have accelerated the rush to fiscal irresponsibility (Roman Abramovich being the firestarter).
I'm not, mate. Honestly - I didn't assign any opinion to you whatsoever beyond asking why you disliked the others given they might have been better people than Joe Lewis, specifically. I.e, not done for insider trading, or accused of tax evasion and forcibly displacing natives in Argentina, or responsible for the misery of thousands of ordinary folk in the UK. That's all.
And believe me, from what I know of you, it would be a cold day in hell before I suggested you disliked someone purely because of their nationality or background. That just isn't you - I know that.
But then bemoaned the club not making a statement, despite it making a statement, via it's public face and manager. It seems like you are just looking for a stick to bash Levy withI said that in my original post
I feel that this transfer happening two days before we kick off is a good thing. It will be current and fresh in the minds of all the players to prove that they can thrive without Kane. With Ange to motivate them, and we've all heard his speeches, there is a POSSIBILITY of this working to our benefit (and I am not drunk, or stoned, or suffering form concussion).Whether you like the way Levy behaves or not (personally I think this exit has been mishandled poorly) my personal opinion is that we need to move ON, get behind the manager, get behind his brand of football, and remember that the last time people lost their collective brick over a legend leaving (Bale) we ended up with a bloke called Harry Kane coming through...
...it WILL be OK...honest...
I'd prefer to see Soldado playing every game.
