    Misleading use of percentages. You've had £750m more than us out of the CL according to your own numbers and the difference in spend is less than one tenth of that, ie negligible. Neither club has a material net spend compared to Chelsea or Man City which is why we are both below them

    The point is that even given that extra revenue from the CL you have still managed to outspend us by a net of £75m, that is more than a negligible amount, especially given how we have easily outperformed you.

    I heard the new spud stadium will have 16 sets of floodlights in an attempt to combat shadows.

    No - the point is that Levy, despite having only two thirds of Arsenal's income has managed to improve the Spurs squad so that it is valued quite close to Arsenal's and this has led to us having much better league finishes. Arsenal have only slightly improved over the same period.

    You should become a politician with spin like that <ok> Facts obviously don't concern you.

    How to try and convince somebody that there has been an improvement, when in reality you've spent a ton of money and ended up in a worse position.

    On the contrary, everything I've written is factual. Our positions in the league since Levy started are way better than before we had him; we've got a new stadium approved; we've got a new training centre, three of our development squad have been capped by England in the last few years; the club is solvent and living within its means. All evidence of an effective Chairman.

    It is you that is spinning by putting all the emphasis on a single season or a single Levy weakness in choosing managers. I doubt anything will be achieved by prolonging this further.

    I think it will be a repeat of the AVB appointment , all the stats pointed to him being a good choice for manager , that he only did cr@p at Chelsea because the players didnt like him .

    When in fact he WAS cr@p .

    ..:grin:

    Pinnocchio "i just want to be a real manager"

    just been listening to Talksport and they said Pinocchio has signed on a 5 year contract but have already discussed how long will he be there before he gets the sack. **** me i know Levy is a **** but even he can't sack anyone before they have started the job. i mean at least give him 6 months till you replace him, errr just like you did the last manager !!

    Meh.

    Average Manager for an average club.

    Pretty happy that they didn't get Van Gaal or De Boer.

    You need to check that term 'factual' because I'm not just talking last season. All of the facts and figures I have provided encompass the entire period since Levy took charge.

    You talk about your stability, where is it? Nine managers, changing them like it's going out of fashion.

    You talk about the Academy, where are the players ? You have Kane and Bentelab playing for you .....

    You talk about better league postitions ? You've gone backwards since he sacked 'Arry.

    You talk about a new stadium, let's see it ? and let's see how you pay for it.

    You talk about the value of the squad, do you think you would recoup the money you spent on Soldado or Lamela ?

    You talk about Levy being an effective chairman when the evidence says that he is floundering.

    Apparently Pollencount has fallen out with Levy over transfers and could be sacked by the end of May.
