Let people show their anger at Levy here. Surely, Levy won't want them to confront him personally. Even my 8-year old nephew is very annoyed with Levy for not buying more quality players.

You are f@cking kidding me! Bunch of macarons!
Edit: beat me to it Galeforce, think it's telling we used exactly the same word to describe them though.
Anyone ever hired one of these banner planes before?
If so, how much would it cost for me to get one that says "He doesn't speak for us" with our badger logo on?

how about we find the pilot and pay him more to not do it
The guy is doing it on crowdfunder and set a target of £600 odd
Don't think you'd get the logo on, just letters I'd imagine - I'd chuck in

We've been saving/paying for the stadium for 6 years and most people haven't even noticed, as we've maintained our league position.
When it opens in 3 years' time, our debts will be at worse sustainable, but most likely we'll be far better off than we are now.
Our whole focus now seems to be on being ready for 2018. It's why the average age of our team is 23 (peaking teams are considered to average 27/28). In fact Fazio, Dembele and Verts are the only of our outfield players who will have (just) hit 30 by the time the stadium opens.

Trouble is we are divided into 3 at moment
The Skysports lot
Believes all the premierleague gossip and paper talk, clicks on daily mail bait pages and is angry that the owners are not just piling in their OWN money to support OUR dream.
Isnt really concerned about the longer game, and doesnt care where the money is coming from.
The middle lot
Understand the financial constraints, and would be quite happy to become a chelsea or city and just go on a spending spree.
The "Levy lot"
Realise it isnt about Levy its about living within your means, dont really expect somebody else to pay for our dream.
Would rather have the satisfaction of winning it our way, than become just another glossy clone.
Also realise that being top 5 is an achievement in itself considering where we are in the chain of things
A bit of reality and why i believe that you have to step back
The glory glory years were out glory glory years we didnt dominate english and european football for 10 years
There are 15 teams that have won more league titles than us.
There are 11 teams with a bigger ground than us
Any player who comes to us just as we pay bigger wages is an adebayor, and although my view on him is different i can see why we dont want that type of player.
Therefore in the transfer window, we have to try to get the very best level 3 players without making it about the money, that means sometimes we get guzzumped and sometimes it doesnt work out.
Doesnt mean we should just accept being 2nd best, but it does mean that people need to look at where we have got OURSELVES to.

Spot on, but you know facts are no good to those who do not do their research before moaning.

They will be too blind to see that.
Hmmm... That's a way outside the level of "Wife doesn't notice it missing" spending - I don't think I'd be keeping my balls for long if she caught me spending £600+ on a fudging banner.The guy is doing it on crowdfunder and set a target of £600 odd

What a great and completely objective classification... :S
It must be possible to be critical of some of Levy's doings without being categorized as someone who wants him gone. I appreciate a lot of what he's doing for the club, I just feel we would be better off not leaving buisness as late as we did, and prioritize the areas of the squad that we weakened by selling the players we did.
It also seems to me that we have too many people who wants their say in who we bring in. Levy, Poch, Baldini, Mitchell. Who is in charge, and who decides what? I think we waited until it was too lateto add a midfielder because we couldn't decide on who the targets was. The Bender link that suddenly died also supports this, although there's no way of knowing.
I might be wrong, but I'm under the impression that a lot of the same people who said things like "Don't worry, we'll add a midfielder and a striker. There's still plenty of time, relax!" are now saying things like "We added a striker in Son, and we didn't need any midfielders". I'm being very cathegorical, but hopefully you get my point. At least, I can't remember anyone saying the latter before the window closed.
It's easy to produce a statement afterwards and point to everything that was done as part of a strategy. I'm sure it was to some extent, but what I don't believe is the order of priorities. Why would it be one of Poch's main priorities to trim the squad? Why does he care if we have too many players? The can just leave out the players he doesn't want. The manager is and should only be concerned with getting the players he wants and needs. I appreciate that trimming the squad needed to be done, but it was Levy's top priority, not Poch's.

I don't think anyone is happy with the lack of Striker/CM signing - the difference, I feel, is that there are those that look to understand why/and those who look to blame - I don't think anyone is making excuses for Levy/Poch/Whoever, regardless of how it sometimes appears it's just there's always a reason why things are done/or not done as it were and I (we) think it's better to discuss those reasons rather than lay blame for everything that happens - no one is purposefully setting out to sabotage the club from within and usually there's logical reasons to explain why things have happened - rarely is it a black and white case of it just being a fudge up.
We don't really know who is responsible for what with regards to transfers and from the outside it's of little importance - all that matters is those involved know their role and all are pulling in the same direction.
Why would Poch want to trim the squad? Well he has to work with the squad day to day - if there's a whole bunch of players disgruntled that they're not getting picked or causing a negative atmosphere then I can certainly see why you'd want a smaller close knit bunch of players
