Certainly too early to say with Vinai, perhaps too early to say with Lange.

What credibility did Vinai have to get the job?
He only worked (as far as I can tell) at one club before hand and it wasn’t exactly a successful one in football terms based on their history before him (and I know he wasn’t in charge all the time)

It seems that there are too many decision makers and no one is making one, I also think they are so keen not to look like Levy that they are now doing nothing and stuck in some kind of flux

I am telling you mate, the system of operation has changed massively and the net result is 'who is leading'... I'm sure you can see it too. Levy was a single-point decision maker/micro-manager who had a very distinct 'way' in place, to the extent that players and fellow chairman did not dislike him more than accepted that he operated in a very way which was unique to him. The Neppies come in, bring a smarmer with them, and all think you can undo/flip that in 6 months during the season? Wan kers.

But he increased revenues and profits off the pitch which is all that really matters in the eyes of the mega-rich, the soulless bunch that they are.

Bringing money in is really important if you want to then in turn spend money.

Not arguing that fact, but a football club should not solely be considered as a revenue-generating operation. The pursuit for success on the pitch may not be the optimal ROI aspect but should always be a primary consideration along with financial performance. They cannot be considered as completely separate entities, but complimentary.

And that is where we have been failing.

In fact, given our current situation, you could argue that poor on-the-pitch performance has more of an impact on our financials than success does.

But either way only focusing on the P&L and balance sheet, and not in conjunction with the on-the-field results as you would imagine many non-supporter billionaire owners may do, is a recipe for ultimate failure.
