Since when has looking at other badly run clubs been a good way of making the case that we’re not so bad after all? I’ve never understood that logic.
I don’t really care about Everton, Leeds or other clubs who happen to be worse run clubs than us. What I care about is the transition this club has made over the last few years since Vichais passing from a financially healthy and ambitious PL club with everything going for it to car crashing into the championship with barely a pot to piss in because we have a board that took their eye off the ball completely
And before someone throws in the inevitable Covid argument, let’s remember what really started the decline - breaking the successful recruitment and sale model and in the summer of 2021, spending money we didn’t have on awful signings while trying to tie down players on new contracts who didn’t want to be here anymore.
Leicester are an example of one of the fastest declines since Leeds United back in the early 2000s - I doubt even Mike Ashley could have done much better than taking a top 5 PL club and FA cup winners and dumping in the championship with record losses 2 years later
