Didn't hear the interview but not that surprising different fans have different views considering there have been a lot of positives you can point to over the last couple of decades.

Levy trying to get onside with fans
Seriously it is really sad we are chasing another Spurs fan out, if we are looking from that perspective and giving him the benefit of the doubt. For the matter, I believe he really is.
Why can't he just leave the footballing matters out for the better-suited personnel and not meddle in them is really beyond me... Most, if not all, of us are really fine with him as the chairman if he does that. There is really no need for things to turn ugly for such an easy solution if he can simply let it go. Henry Winter is right - 'Levy could have been one of the game’s good guys'
Sighz, FFS Levy.

My thoughts exactly. They ruined their own legacies.. And that is sad.
Without doubt.
Although I will say he had a lot of Media on his side. Simon Jordan, Gary Neville, Danny Kelly & The View From The Lane boys/Athletic, Dan Kilpatrick etc
However they are now struggling to defend him as its bad decision after bad decision.
Its scary how many fans still treat us like the plucky little underdog from 10/15 years ago.

I agree but the current state of the club is a shambles, the bloke laughed as he was going off air so pretty sure he was likely a Gooner.

"No disrespect to Kane but the game is about collective glory, silverware not statues. Levy has to realise that. One day, the Spurs chairman will leave the club with a full wallet, an empty trophy cabinet, an even emptier heart and no friends in the maddened crowd. That’s no legacy. Wise up, Daniel, open up to the real fans, listen to them — and learn."
That's a poignant last paragraph!

So it annoys you when someone has a different opinion?
I've defended him and criticised him. There are many issues in play, and nothing is a single point of failure.
No one on here has any idea as to how things work within tottenham, so it's a lot of supposition.

Does it really matter?
Football isn't a serious business for a serious businessman to do serious business in. If you have unlimited oil money or a shitload of roubles to launder it's perfect. Levy needs to hand the chairmanship over to some lunatic and concentrate on the commercial side if he wants to stay. Saying that I can see some daft bastard stroking their beard thinking this might be just the prime time to swoop on Spurs while in disarray and snap it up now it's vulnerable. Not while there's a breath left in Daniel Levy, he'll get every penny he can.
Provided about 3 different opponents for his first ever Spurs game
For the love of Spurs

He is the Arsene Wenger of chairman at the end stage only he has dragged on even longer than Arsene. He is at the point where he seems unable to let go, he may deep down love the club but does he love it enough to do what is right. He has made his money, there is no reason for him to be here anymore other than maybe side stuff like Hotels.
We can’t move on till he leaves.
For the people still defending Levy, what would he have to do to make his position untenable for you?
He said Sunday was unacceptable and Stellini paid for it with his job. We're a football club who has no first team manager, no Director of Football, no women's manager, we've been spanked 6-1 in a crucial game, we've thrown away a golden opportunity to get top 4 with Chelsea and Liverpool both struggling. We've been through two managers who have won big prizes and they've both failed here and both have pointed towards the way the club is run as a problem.
Levy himself said he takes responsibility for the current mess. Well, with responsibility comes accountability. The kind of accountability other people in the club have been subject to.
When is enough enough?

I see John Weldon is negative repping you without having anything to say for himself. He does this so regularly I am surprised it is allowed by the Mods.

While I understand your frustration are you suggesting he sacks himself? I think that's highly unlikely.
I think he will stay and try to fix this mess. The only other realistic option is that he and ENIC decide to sell up. We the fans, however angry and upset, are unlikely to be able to force him to move on.
I'd say coming to the stadium and hearing 60,000 people chanting they want you out on a regular basis could be quite persuasive. Levy seems very sensitive to criticism. It probably won't happen on that scale but there is nothing stopping ENIC/Levy looking for a buyer or there is nothing stopping Levy from stepping back from the club whilst retaining ownership.
But that's beside the point. My question is for the people defending him. At what point does he become indefensible?

I don't care how big his ego is, the amount or criticism he's getting will be hitting him and I really think he will be looking for buyers very soon

#LEVYTIME certainly springs to mind! VDV has a lot to answer for!It is down to Joe Lewis to sack him, as Levy will never have the grace to step down. He believes his own hype too much. I guess fans can be partly to blame with all the memes we have created over the years about him.

Just went on the spurs app and can see we’ve announced the European Professional Club rugby finals in 2024 will be at the stadium. Usually there would be a push notification for this (I think) but I didn’t receive one and it was sort of buried a few articles down the screen (although the latest news story).
The article also specifically says that this further generates revenue to be used for football activities.
Doubt it changes anything but clearly the powers that be are being careful not to over-promote non footballing activities as they’re aware the fan base is sick and tired of all the hype around non footballing activities whilst the shit show ensues on the pitch.
