    ENIC

    But that’s the issue my friend, the better they do or the higher their ceiling, eventually they will leave and without the tangible benefits of a trophy or prolonged successs. The means to an end for ENIC is an unsatisfied player and a big transfer fee

    ENIC

    It’s the way it works under ENIC , our progress is that instead of being picked off by Man United we have moved on to Real Madrid.

    ENIC

    The likelihood however is we continue on our current trajectory, Mickey will likely leave for bigger and better things and on higher wages

    I wouldn’t say it was a single moment but more that the opportunity was there to build our brand. I would agree that with Bale and Modric, at some point they would have left, my issue is more that we didn’t really capitalise on them when they were there. Players leave i get that, it’s just...

    I would agree on the most part. Arsenal over the premier league years and particularly under Wenger changed their “brand” completely from being a rather dull burning footballl club famed for defensive 1-0 performances to the hipster club and a big global precence. I believe We did miss three...

    I never said that’s not what we are going through, i am simply saying that the situation and context are very different due to the factors i addressed. Maybe i should rephrase it as we might be on the same path but i beleive destinations will be very different under the current owners and manager

    The ambition of the owners would play a part though? I really don’t see your point. The team that finished eighth still had big money signings such as Lacazette and Aubemeyang, Ozil had just been bombed out. For me the arsenal board had shown a willingness to bring in top tier talent, although...

    you said we were are on the same path as arsenal were under Edu/Arteta a few years back i’m saying i don’t think it’s comparable because of the reasons i mentioned?

    To be honest outside of Liverpool who have been the most consistent, United under Fergie and City now under Pep. Has any club ever consistently dominated Villa have one league championship in the 20th century, the rest were in the 19th century. I know they have that european cup win.

    I think they were a bit higher up the curve than us, their owners ( despite being much maligned ) had shown they were willing to pay for top transfer fees and wages on the likes of aubmeyang, sanchez, ozil etc. I just don’t see our owners ever trying to take that final push. Maybe it’s the...

    I would say West Ham’s fanbase exceeds that of the other London clubs outside of ourselves Arse and Chelsea I just don’t get the argument for having Villa, Leeds etc as peers, ten or fifteen years in the 80s or 90s we would have used the big five as our peers, it’s ever changing. What doesn’t...

    they won it twice in 89 and 91 and didn’t challenge again until 98 when they won it, they were then consistent challengers for the title when ENI arrived and even won it twice. So your point that they were better pre ENIC is incorrect, given that their most successful manager in their history...

    sorry i wouldn’t agree on that because there are too many intangibles Pre premier league the big five were considered to be ourselves, everton, united, liverpool and arsenal. Last year we were in the big six, its probably now a big five again. The point is what makes a club successful. of...

    apologies they were fighting for the league every season pre ENIC. After graham left and the inception of the premiership they hardly challenged for the title until Wenger joined in 1996/97, they then won the title in 98 three years before ENIC too over. What on earth are you on about that they...

    Ange in or out?

    and that is the conundrum Levy finds himself in. in my opinion that descision to sack Mourinho on the eve of the final is the one that gets bought up the most ( and Mourinho also highlights it a fair few times which doesn’t help). He’s now faced with a similar situation but with a far more...

    then we will have to disageee, these are the three clubs who have a comparable base to ours not the provincial ones you mentioned, if you disagree fair enough. i never said Arsenal wernt successful pre-ENIC, you said they had fallen back from where they were pre ENIC but i pointed out during...

    Not really, although rivalry plays a art. When you consider a peer group, factors like location, fan demographic, stadium etc all play a part. The three clubs with a set of factors comparable to us are those three, they are also rivals ( which also plays a part as we as fans would compare our...

    i won’t fudge off with west ham as our peers thank you very much. That they are brick and i hate them doesn’t detract from the fact they are a London based club, with a comparable (although smaller demographic ) than ours. Your point in time exercise on the provincial clubs you cited is one i...
