    I think you and Raziel are both arguing your case really well here. I instinctively land more on your side, but it’s been fun to read this debate. The question I have for @Raziel , is that even if we accept things weren’t that bad under Levy, that post 2019 wasn’t a clear drop, did anything at...

    The game changed around the club while we stayed the same.

    Maybe it’s better to take that word out. Maybe demonstrable incompetence is the better phrase.

    Again, I’m not talking about merely getting gazumped, I’m talking about too clever by half tactics firstly with examples over years and then in quick succession that have demonstrably held us back. If you don’t think there was anything odd about those deals then fine…I just think with the...

    To be clear, I’m not talking about losing out, or getting gazumped. Losing on Semenyo for example is no where near as embarrassing. Those sorts of deals do indeed happen all the time. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but it’s not embarrassing. For different reasons, both the MGW and Eze...

    Even still, on those deals, to get so close to them and then be outmanoeuvred, I think it was an embarrassment to the club and it showed Levy couldn’t do what needed to be done. I’m not saying it was the only factor, and I can completely see that the different parties having different opinions...

    I actually made a similar point a few weeks ago. I think DL majorly screwed up in the summer and they removed him. I don’t know it for sure of course, but it’s the only thing that makes sense to me. When DL was initially sacked, I thought that it must have been VV had known all along, and it...

    Two things… I find it interesting that Ange is described as the charlatan snake oil salesman plucked from obscurity to somehow secure this job he was not qualified for, and only got by on good communication skills. But Frank supposedly gets a pass for actually demonstrating no actual...

    My acceptance of Ange comes from the fact that he delivered some success and a performance level before the injury crisis took hold. And that he never lost the players or made them feel bad about the way they played. And so I was always interested in the idea that with a fitter squad more used...

    I actually find I learn a lot from the different perspectives I read on here if it can make me consider something I’d never thought before. It doesn’t need to absolutely be the ITK official answer, but I’m very interested in how the conflation of circumstances put us in that position, or what...

    Yes mate, but I a few pages ago thought it was at least interesting to debate how and why it was able to happen. Clearly you don’t agree, so I’ll move on.

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Honestly this just seems like you’re saying you have an objectively more balanced and morally superior way to analyse football. I just don’t agree, you’re applying your own biases to the whole thing just like you’re accusing me of doing. It’s not balance to lump everyone in as ‘all as bad as...

    Sorry, who is the guy with the CV in this equation?
  14. SissokoWasGood (BoL)

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Yes, and the reason I feel entirely comfortable and consistent in doing that is that before the horrendous injuries Ange did actually show the type of football he wanted to play, and the players and fans were on board. There was an amazing start and a good first season to finish 5th, then we...

    You have to be able to look at the fear with which the team played, the uncertainty, how this translated to the crowd in a way we have never seen. It was not just the injuries, because this was happening before the worst of the crisis started to bite this year.
