Interesting. For what it's worth, my reading of what he's said, with respect to "we lost sight of some key priorities and what’s truly in our DNA,”, is that he lost sight of the way we play the game, i.e. on the front foot. It's an acknowledgement that appointing Jose as manager was a mistake, he plays defensively and tries to score on the counter-attack. That's not the Spurs way, we're more the Harry school "If they score 3 we'll score 4" school of footie.
Added to the ESL debacle, I think he is now in a situation that, if he gets the next big decision or two wrong, his position could be untenable. It puts a lot of pressure on him to get the appointment of the new manager right, and then really back him!

The notes he made were not his but the usual Propganda PR nonsense. The audacity to not come out publicly since the super league speaks volumes..... his pitiful words in the notes refuse to take responsibility for his poor actions over many years, including his pal Hitchen. The soul is gone from our club. No manger will change our fortune because those two muppets are still running the show at the top level of our club.
If anyone takes the programme notes seriously, there is something wrong with you.
He even stupidly mentioned how much they spent on the team.... £250m..... and this is what we have to show for it? HAHAHA
Then went on to mention about giving up the stadium for a bit for the NHS, adding by the way that this was atleast something they did right, well congratulations for being humans. Well done.
The notes were cowardly, audacious, untimely, disgraceful and were not even written by him. I am done with these clowns at the top, any other job they both would have been fired A LONG TIME AGO!!! They are there because they are all mates and think they are the club.
It is time for a proper fan strategy to work out how to remove them from their positions and get some fresh attitudes and philosophy into our club. We are now essentially back to where we were in 2006, except we now have a bigger soulless stadium

He's done wonders in terms of dragging the club from mid-table mediocrity to regular top four, a champs league final and a superb stadium.
But a series of own goals over the last three years demonstrates that his time is up. From the two windows with no signings, to a subsequently irrational transfer strategy, not recognising when the squad was finished and instead bringing in mourinho to wring one or two last successes from them (I was in favour of the appointment at the time), to the PR disasters of furlough, £60 tickets for tonight, putting the fans in the top tier instead of by the pitch, requiring thousands to show up at 4pm (there was a big queue outside for that) etc.
If he goes now, I'll be forever grateful for what he's done for Spurs. But if he continues in this vein, he'll ruin his legacy

I don't think that there is anything that he can say that will persuade some fans and that's fine; however I can't see him stepping down or ENIC selling.

No, people just don't believe he's sincere because of what they have seen and heard previously. Its pretty simple stuff.

You can't be fired if you are the owner, and unless the fans can come up with £2bn+ they will be around until they decide to leave. That may or may not be a good thing but that's how it is. A few dozen chanting quite frankly disgusting things outdside the ground will do absolutely nothing.
Thank You!
Our so called DNA, it can’t be winning something because we’ve won very little in the last 30 years. So what exactly is it? Playing nice pretty football but still coming up short every time? Levy still does not get it, I want to have my cake and fucking eat it, damn it.

That's right regarding fans wanting those guys out, and he's a bigger fucking idiot than even I think he is if your second point is true. Ultimately, the buck stops with him for his dumb decisions and lack of staying power with successful managers. But there are plenty of fans that call for change for change's sake too.

you can still be an owner and have your chairman title/responsibilities taken away to an extent. As for Hitchen, he can definitely be fired

That old 'negative spiral' is intriguing
Daniel Levy actually sacked a manager 1 week before a cup final to save £5/10m and appointed a 29 year old with zero experience to take the team for the rest of the season, in a European battle.
Its absolutely mental when you reflect on it. If he was in any other job he would be sacked for it.

Well yeah and I've said he needs to back it up. Again though I've never heard him take responsibility like this before. Sure he's come up with excuses in his end of season synopsis. This time though he's admitting it's himself that's fucked up.
And yet no personal apology for ESL anywhere.....
