    Your point on doing things early is another good one that highlights the shift in strategy this summer. I really can’t see why we bought Van Hecke and Senesi if we were anything other than certain Romero would leave. I’m intrigued to see how it plays out.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    There is merit in what you say. For me, I believe Levy’s legacy on the footballing side is far from bad though. By 2004, we hadn’t been in the top 6 for 15 years. That’s when Levy really started to do things differently with Arnesen. Then we finished top 6 in something like 16 of 18 seasons and...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    It's a really interesting question. And it's very hard to know. The two extremes are that Levy wasn't given the latitude by ENIC to spend big money or that he just didn't know how to take the next step. Personally, while I do think ENIC/Joe Lewis ran a tight ship and probably weren't minded to...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    He certainly contributed to both 17th placed finishes albeit I'd argue there were far more guilty parties than him for last season's fiasco. Without Levy's vision, we may have never been in a position to compete like a big club in the market. And that is something we'd have needed to do at some...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    100% right. It was Levy's vision which has landed us in a place where we can spend money. He did a tremendous job getting us to this place but seemed like he'd taken us as far as he could. Still doesn't take away from what he delivered for the club. This doesn't have to be a Levy bad/Nepos good...

    Haha that's absolutely bonkers stuff. F**k it, I quite enjoyed it. Anything that exposes him for the self-serving, lying, gaslighting clam he is, is fantastic entertainment for me.

    Lads, can you stop talking down Chick King for fudge sake. Prospective signings may be reading this page and it's arguably our biggest selling point.

    And that's how it should be. Any macaron with money can spend it. You have to be spending it well and results will dictate if we've done that. I guess the other caveat is how we behave in future windows. All very well doing this once but we need to continually replenish the squad with quality even...

    Haven't seen enough of him to make an informed judgement but I trust the people that presumably have. I slaughtered ENIC, Vinai and Lange last season. I'll give them their dues, they have us acting like a big club this summer so far. Credit where it's due. A very, very good start to delivering...

    I'm not even sure when the Ballon D'Or became such a big thing. I don't remember it being huge when Michael Owen won it for example. To me, it seems that when egos got bigger, the award started to matter more and get more coverage. Personally, although I'd love to see Kane win it, I don't put a...

    I was absolutely stunned by it this morning. Beyond unacceptable.

    Think that's underrating Gary a bit. He was the best right back in the league for a long, long time. He's quite self-deprecating and can take a joke at his own expense but I think sometimes it might damage people's memories of him or make younger people think he wasn't as good as he actually...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    This lad is very, very underrated IMO. Was a key reason we stayed up. Does the unsexy stuff but knows where to be and when to be there and keeps it simple on the ball. Wouldn't sell him in a million years.

    My daughter has recently discovered Michael Jackson who I was a massive fan of as a kid so I've been listening to the albums again. Brought back memories of being 10 and wondering why Jacko was singing a song about a girl working in a library. Still, even if that had been true, would have been...
