I mean, we can highlight this nonsense without being accused of being a Levy Lover right?

I’ve just dipped into X to look at his profile. Jeez how do they get away with this much hate? Surely there’s an offence being committed there?

Wow. He wants Levy to be scared to attend matches. That’s getting into dangerous territory.

Last thing we need inside the stadium are negative vibes against Levy again, especially after the comments about the fans by Romero and the new contract for Spence.
Draw or Win against City should keep the good spirits up when we play Bournemouth and the haters can keep their banners outside the stadium. If you delve back through the transfer rumours you can find Eze connected with The Woolwich ages ago , unfortunately internet rumours and hype gave the impression that he was as good as signed days ago for us, just shows ignore rumours.

Can’t we just transfer him to Arsenal?

You have to admire how the Goons took care of business yesterday, even though it was to our detriment.

A year to get the deal done. Impressive.

They let us do the negotiations so they didn’t have to? They clearly picked up the phone and said what are Spurs offering? Ok we will match / slightly higher. Anyone knows if Spurs have agreed a fee you are not negotiating anything better so they just match it knowing its a good deal. They are hardly going to go and renegotiate all over again when its already been done by a club.

They're just an extremely decisive club since Josh Kroenke took the reigns, representing his dad - that coincides with the Kroenke acquiring full control of the club in the aftermath of Usmanov being booted.
The bigger issue lies in that disparity - Arsenal have invested owners, so if Josh Kroenke okays spending 70m after already spending 190m, that's fine, it's his money, and they have fudgetons of it to spend.
Levy isn't spending his own money - he is, in effect, spending Joe Lewis's. And Lewis gives zero fudges about us. So even if he wanted to, I doubt he could spend as freely as Arsenal can.
It's interesting that Vivienne Lewis was at the Burnley game, and apparently has attended others recently - could be one sign of a changing of the guard at ENIC. With the appointment of Peter Charrington as director, it feels like they are taking closer control of the club than they have done in decades - and that could be one pathway to us changing the way we operate, the way Arsenal did once the younger Kroenke took over. But, all speculation.

Not sure some of the points you raise are correct, both clubs are self sustaining . The Woolwich are back in Champions League and are maintaining high league positions which is bringing far more prize money in.
e.g. last seasons PL prize money Woolwich made £171.5 million, Spurs £127.8 million, add to that prize money from a CL semi finish for The Woolwich which earns far more than winning the Europa , add that prize money to revenue from home CL matches at full prices as opposed to our home EL matches at reduced ticket prices they probably have at least £100 million or more in revenue to spend.

Vivienne Lewis has been at loads of our games over the years. Not saying there isn’t anything in it now, but it’s not as if she has suddenly appeared out of the blue.

Sure mate, but they haven't spent 100m - they've spent close to 300m and counting, and have also been spending prodigiously since well before their return to the CL.
They've been consistently heavy spenders since 2020, and it's pretty widely acknowledged that a significant chunk of that is owner funding.

Fair enough mate - I just noticed she was next to Levy the Burnley game and Ally Gold had an article highlighting it, so I figured maybe it presaged a change. If not, then on we go as we always have done.

You might be right but end of day she’s still ENIC and I’m sure it’s ENIC setting the investment and spending strategy, not Levy personally (although obviously he’s bought into it).Fair enough mate - I just noticed she was next to Levy the Burnley game and Ally Gold had an article highlighting it, so I figured maybe it presaged a change.

The point was that they had a least 100 million more to spend on last seasons prize money not that that was how much they have spent, if all their spending is owner funded why don't Saudi Sportswashing Machine's owners do the same ?
If you believe transfermkt figures for net transfer spend since 21/22 season they have spent 112 million euros more than Spurs so it's not the massive gap that it seems many go on about.
