Facundo Buonanotte signed with Chelsea on the last day of the transfer window and said he was very happy because it would be his first time playing in the Champions League. Two days later, he was left out of Chelsea's squad for the competition.

Obviously every footballer will back themselves. You don't get to the level of Premier League without that self confidence.

 

But Buonanotte couldn't get into the worst Leicester side i've ever seen. It's a bit much for him to think he could get into the Chelsea squad.

I mean he should have been playing, whenever he featured he looked way ahead of the players keeping him out of the team.

Chelsea have always behaved like complete weirdos in the transfer market.

They will probably blame him for the next ten years still no doubt. Hopefully the owner is even worse and puts them in more shite 🙂

Record buy Hutchinson left out of Europa League squad - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c059j0pd65no

 

Forest leave Hutchinson, a £37.5m record signing, out of their Europa League squad. And Zinchenko, who Arsenal fans were delighted to see the back of.

 

I'm beginning to think this isn't an especially well-run football operation and is just about lobbing enough shit at the wall and hoping it sticks.

They could only name 22 players so 3 extra had to miss out .

That one of those players is their record signing isn't exactly indicative of a well-run organisation.

What was Levy’s legacy, a league cup and Europa League in 25 years and 13 sacked managers.  Oh yeah and they got a new stadium, them and many other clubs.

Do chief executives need a legacy? I don't ever put our success alongside our owners. Everything is manager and players to me.

Think he's done a good job there. Been relatively consistently one of the best teams in the country in his time there and have improved their facilities. 

 

He's left them in a fantastic position as a club. And according to the people that regularly slate him it should not be hard at all to find someone that can elevate them to being a regular title chasing team now.

Tony Bloom is gonna leave a pretty massive legacy at 2 possibly 3 clubs.

Deliriously popular to hate on Levy, and he's not been perfect by any means. But their new stadium is his shining legacy by far. It is incredible, it's a 365 days a year stadium that will help Spurs' financial footing for decades to come. Matchday revenue, concerts and events taking place. The stadium debt was refinanced a few years ago, and the amount they take in will always mean it's serviceable.

 

They might well get a new chairman who brings them success on the field with a stable manager etc, but that stadium will be vital to any future success. Also worth noting that they built it just at the right time, imagine what it'd cost to build it now.

My last sentence was very much sarcasm  

 

It's understandable that fan's are result-oriented in their thinking, but for me I like to look at the whole club. Results can be good but you can see standards of the club slipping, these issues can ultimately take seasons to see the negative effects of. Us being a fine example under Rodgers.

 

Similar you can sometimes see results on the pitch aren't great, but that the club is progressing and eventually that will lead to success on the pitch.

 

Someone else could absolutely use the platform Levy has built to take Spurs on and make them a real force. A lot will be owed to what he has crafted and taken stick for.

Normally they wouldn’t stay for quarter of a century, ultimately Levy hired and fired and controlled the transfer budget. So yes in this case correct imo to wonder what that legacy was.
