Daniel Levy pens letter to fans on final day of EPL season

haha

It's going to be a long three weeks.

Try three months...…...........

But left it in (crossed out). To me, that reveals the real feeling behind the post. A+C could have chosen not to print the bit crossed out at all.

But he didnt print it out. Just typed it.

How about you give the man a chance to change the way he's been running the club over the past 18 years. This project has been delivered. After the final on June 1st Poch has already said he will sit down with the chairman and discuss the next chapter of the club's development. I have no idea how anyone can be so abusive towards the chairman after our incredible new stadium and our world class training facility have already been delivered after 18 hard years of work and stress, our terrific young squad of players and our world class young manager are still on a massive high, like the rest of us, and you call him a 'poxy little runt'. Unbelievable.

*Sorry I have always felt these types of communications (whatever the content) to be totally cringeworthy. Blatant PR spin - whether actually penned by him or otherwise. It is the expected line of course though and cannot really say anything else.

Yes it is. This board is all about opinions and we've all got them. Far as I know, there's no law which says we all have to agree with each other, but hopefully, you'll feel a little more charitable towards the Chairman when we're parading the Champions League trophy around the streets of N17. What do you reckon?

Yep. Levy is responding to Pochettino in the press. Absolutely that's what's happening. Without doubt.

Levy is hitting back. Because there's a war on at Spurs. Between Levy and Poch. They don't talk to each other, nor does the club have any kind of media strategy in place, you know. The two sides in this bitter war can't bear to be in each other's presence, so they speak to each other via the press. Because that's how high turnover businesses valued in the hundreds of millions of pounds behave - the management don't work together - they each do what they want and speak to each other via the press. Because multi-million pound businesses just wimble along and allow their senior staff to say what they like when they like and spend absolutely zero time, you know, discussing what is going to be said to the press. The guy who accompanies Poch to every single press conference is just a ligging idiot nephew.

And that's what this 'Chairman's message' really is. It's a counterattack by Levy against Poch's unvarnished brutal attacks on him viciously launched by Poch via the media. And so Levy decided that he in turn needed to launch a salvo of his own. Hence the Chairman's message.

And I reckon he knew this was coming, because he actually did a pre-emptive Chairman's message last year: https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/may-article-import/2018/chairmans-message/

He's a smart cookie, Levy, because he even printed that message in the last matchday programme of the season too.

So smart is he that he's actually done the same thing every year.

He did it 2017: https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news-archive-1/chairmans-message/

And 2016: https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/may-article-import/2016/chairmans-message/

And 2015: https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news-archive-1/chairmans-message-1/

He's so clever that he even sent a Chairman's message countering Poch back in 2014 before Poch had even been appointed manager (the link isn't there anymore, but there's an article on the Standard's website, ironically enough, that mentions it).

Now, my sincere apologies for the acid tone, but some of the stuff being posted about the management using the press to push agenda and how these agenda are separate and oppositional is bordering on tinfoil hat territory.

That was actually quite convincing - so just for clarity which side of the fence are you on?

I was very close to rage facing him.

Whenever reading PR releases , i always look for the thing it didnt mention....in this case the 5 year plan.
Oh and the elephant standing in the corner with a plaquard round its neck saying "money".

I never responded to what you said so have absolutely no idea what you're banging on about

BUT, I am wondering that if we're all entitled to opinions and there's no law saying we have to agree with each other, then why the rant?

EDIT: I've removed the rest because it wasn't required

Unbelievably, there are people who actually believe all that.

If anyone really needs to be convinced about the relationship between Poch and Levy, just look at the pair of them in front of the celebratory Spurs fans after the match in Amsterdam last week.

Scratch that, I don't care.

There was no rant. I just said something you clearly don't agree with, so you labelled it as a rant. I was trying to answer your post with a little humility...

(haha

It's going to be a long three weeks).

But actually, I don't care either.

Apologies for putting this in here but - while the transfer forums are being prepared - can someone please point me in the direction of a thread where transfer gossip can be discussed?

The other one is gone and Twitter is a cesspit I generally would rather avoid!

Ta!
