Levy makes the Scientologists appear open minded and reasonably normal.
“The prices being paid this summer for certain players is not sustainable in the long term, but I’m not sure if that is the view of other Premier League clubs.”
“Some clubs are paying too much and creating an out of control market.”
Let’s suspend our disbelief for just long enough to agree that even by modern football’s standards prices have goner nuts.
But then what?
Is Levy planning on issuing a statement at the end of the season saying,
‘Sorry about being a bit sh*t, but we decided to sit this one out. Yes, trousering over £50million for a mildly cretinous wind up toy felt sweet sweet, sweet, sweet. But only a fool would have gone out and spend it!!!’
Is that the plan?
Really?
Nobody is condoning the inflated prices, however the market dictates all.
Simply refusing to join in ONLY works when everyone does so. This then redirects the market.
Levy is beyond parody. He’s actually planning to knit his own players.
Except our home crocheted grown players aren’t good enough. Beyond the blindingly good Kane there’s a question mark over Winks’ head and far too many unconvincing haircuts. Crucially there’s nobody to fill the £60million void created by Pamela & Sucksso.
This squad – with this near miracle worker manager – were on the verge of greatness.
To the Benny Hill theme tune, Baldy is going to stuff it right up.
