To paraphrase a recent "joke" from Sounds of the 60s, I was given advice to invest in landfill but it turned out to be a rubbish tip.
As I said at the time, that was the charitable explanation I gave. But I also had an equally plausible explanation based solely on on-pitch results ( " ... twice is coincidence, ..." ) .
TBH his tactics were already getting worked out by then Not quite to the point where we'd have somebody run up the right flank with the ball and within 20 seconds it had been passed all the way through midfield and was now coming up the left flank yet there still seemed to be no intention of actually putting the ball into the box, but teams were certainly getting better at cutting off the passing lanes and he didn't seem to know how to address this
Levy pays himself multi million pound bonuses for delivering record profits and colossal sporting failure. ENIC and Levy are here to increase the value of their investment, they are not here for sporting success, they are using this once great football club and it`s loyal fans to line their own (and shareholders) pockets, while at the same time pretending to have no money. The only surprise is that some gullible fans continue to be fooled by it.
We have not made a profit for four years. That's because we've spent every penny earned plus a bit more on transfer fees and salaries. This is completely clear from the accounts to those who bother to read them rather than relying on false information on click bait sites. If you think I am wrong about this then post the data that proves it and I will thank you for the lesson. And look at the clubs in the five places either side of us in the year ENIC bought us. Which of those has outperformed us?
