If Greg Stobart Were A Footballer Levy Would Buy Him

By The Boy -

I don’t know why Squawka hired Stobart. Perhaps they wanted to lead their sizeable audience out of its statistical coma manned by a legion of budding interns churning out acres of identikit copy.

Greg’s literary work is dull bicycle lamp and it doesn’t illuminate the formulaic mush; rather it reminds you why Goal.com was always had a rather needy feel to it.

What we get here is a seemingly endless steam of SEO driven drivel trying to fluff up the next duff purchase from Levy & Co.

The next piece of junk from the same tight clowns that inflicted Clinton Cards and No’Cluedo onto us under the guise of being ‘up and coming European talent’.

It took Stobart the wrong end of 1000 words to tell us that Paul Mitchell was in fact not a talented analyst and scout, but in fact a time wasting w—– and instead that yet again Daniel Levy is launching a new and improved methodology of buying players using only the spare change he finds in his car.

There’s also the suggestion that Steve Hitchen – who was already let go once by Spurs – has a CV that even puts Paul Nuttall’s to shame.

But let’s not lose sight of what this article is about. Selling us another piece of Eurotrash.

Mbappe’s positives are that he’s a blank canvass and that he will be cheap.

That’s the list in full.

What Stobart has exchanged his soul for here is another rebranding of a now distinctly tired process that doesn’t work.

The mend and make do at Tottenham has achieved the square root of nothing. Oh, and a singular league cup win.

Chelsea buy players with a similar profile to that of Mbappe’s but they have the mental wherewithal and the business structure not to try and con their supporters that they are making some mumbo jumbo philosophy into something tangible.

Chelsea have raised £64.38m since 2010 selling 19 Chelsea players – none of whom played even 10 league games for the Blues.

Steve Coppell summed up Chelsea’s ‘legal abuse’ of the loan system perfectly, describing the way they treat their youth players as “fattening lambs for the slaughter.”

We buy lambs up, but then operate like a lamb rescue.

The Chelsea model is clever, exciting and above all profitable.

The Levy model is drawn out, painful and ultimately frustrating.

Stobart continues to deliver spin from Donna Cullen that misrepresents hesitancy for foresight.

A biddable cheapskate if Stobart were a player, Levy would snap him up.
