Where we should be is not where we were when he first came here, and what makes you think we will not get higher. As for miracles I do not believe in them so not sure what you expect.

It would be a miracle if he did not make mistakes and I have not seen anyone say that he hasn't.

Forgive my frustration, I do understand the point of view supporters take to back the club, but it does come across sometimes that some of the posters (some of the mods in particular) are almost blindly following Levy and take the opposite point of view even when posters SOMETIMES have valid points. I'm disappointed with the window but I'm not saying he should go or his job should be in question, but he does deserve to be evaluated and criticised when it is necessary.
Agreed
But the Saha,Nelson window was a bit of a poor mistake I'd of hoped possibly learned from that unless he felt it was good business ..
Why 4 bids no back up plan etc we will never know onwards and hopefully upwards
I can think of considerably more insulting things to say to the negative knee jerkers whose support seems to come in the form of tabloid headlines.

I'd say Everton given how much they have compared to us.

Sorry mate but it seems you have been sniffing the barmaids apron to much tonight.

I think what's next is that you calm down, rationally think about what your argument is for thinking Levy is a waste of space (like some others have done) and then we discuss it. If you want to be irrational, you can go to COYS or better yet RAWK.

I do not think that trying to understand the constraints we work within is blindly following anyone.
That was actually a decent window. We got some short term cover without splashing out massive fees.

We've covered that window loads in the past. It was a bit of a freak considering out league position and uncertainty around our manager's future.

I just hacked @Gazzasrightboot and this is his wallpaper on his computer
I mean come on... do you need more evidence!!
Almost. I wasn't the biggest AVB fan if I am honest. But very good! Could you do something useful and hack into Abramovich's account and send some Levy's way?

I would say its more the other way round, there are some posters who as soon as Levy is mentioned start foaming at the mouth and blaming him for things that most of them/us really know nothing about and what really happened.

Fine, but I don't see who it hurts if people want to come on here and have a rant, as long as it does not get personal (I accept I can cross the line sometimes although I never set out to) I really don't see the problem. Even when rational, valid points are presented, they are often given short shrift and derision. Posters are seen as "negative" if they dare criticise Levy, Poch's tactics, the direction of the club, the signings etc.
Could things be worse? Of course they could, but this window could have also gone a lot better and I don't see why some take offence because some fans are disappointed. That's what football does to you, it makes some panic, sometimes irrationally.

We are not gonna sack Poch for finishing mid table, this is a long term project in difficult circumstances, the only way he'll get sacked this season is if the fans demand it.
Now obviously you'd have to be pretty darn thick to want that as he's quantifiably doing a great job, however we've seen before that idiotic football fans can bay a good man doing a good job into the talk without coffee.
I was gonna say the mods on RAWK are the worst around for locking topics or banning posters for saying anything negative, but that doesn't include Spurs. We're right up there with Everton, ManU and Hodgson. We must be doing something right.

You think that Everton have progressed more than us in the last ten years?
Jurgen the German
Willie Hall
A bit of both I would say.
We don't have to sell anything, our situation and Levys overall performance speaks for itself - lower mid table/relegation battles > to consistent top 6 finishes - the financial gap between the top 4 and ourselves is HUGE, so huge we can't realistically expect to be finishing higher than we are until the gap is closed - which we're in the process of doing.
It's not all plain sailing and there are always things which could and should have been done better if you micro analyse every little detail, but the overall picture is one of growth, on and off the field - you'd have to be blind as a bat to see it any other way - we've hit a bit of ceiling at the moment no doubt about it, but there are very obvious reasons as to why that's the case, namely the 100m+ gap between ourselves and the top 4
