At this rate we’ll be in administration by Christmas and he’ll be fully vindicated.

The irony being it’s his stewardship that has enabled this spending without the same issues Villa, Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Forest, etc. are facing now. Let’s also not pretend these funds were always available to him either.
Won’t hold my breath that it gets acknowledged though..

100% right. It was Levy's vision which has landed us in a place where we can spend money. He did a tremendous job getting us to this place but seemed like he'd taken us as far as he could. Still doesn't take away from what he delivered for the club.
This doesn't have to be a Levy bad/Nepos good equation. Levy did a magnificent job creating the conditions for us to act like a really big club. To be fair to the Lewis kids, they're starting to do a good job of realising that potential.

Funds were available to him, he chose how to to use them. It's not a binary decision. It was not spend the way Levy did or spend the way we are now, there was a middle ground and maybe, just maybe if we had spent better and earlier we would have never needed to almost get relegated to have to then try and fix things in such a dramatic and some might even say desperate manner.

It was also Levy decisions that landed in a 17th place that required this massive spend to over correct things. If we did it right in the first place we wouldn't need to be doing what we are now.

Never going to happen, Levy has made mistakes [ just like everyone on here has] but there are some who will never get past their dislike of him. Sad really.

He certainly contributed to both 17th placed finishes albeit I'd argue there were far more guilty parties than him for last season's fiasco.
Without Levy's vision, we may have never been in a position to compete like a big club in the market. And that is something we'd have needed to do at some point no matter what other decisions were made in 2020-2025.

People will find ways not to acknowledge that though. He gave the famous speech that time about future proofing the club, he was right and its proof today that his work is benefiting the clubs ability to spend, that can't be denied.
