Redknapp and his assistants passed on Suarez. It wasn't Levy.

The improvement despite not getting the right set up is remarkable and should be studied by scientists.

City, Liverpool and Leicester.
At this moment I believe ENIC have made a fantastic appointment and if the stories of getting in a DOF then I believe we have the right setup for our club.
I am very pro-ENIC and Levy.
My point was in response to the post I was quoting. It is possible to think ENIC are not right for us moving forward and also remember the 90s. Poch took us to the CL but didn't mean he was the right man moving forwards just like ENIC can have done a fantastic job so far and not be the right group to take us forward from here.

Why? ENIC have got most things right. Levy was absolutely right when he first took over and said we can't compete at the top until our turnover massively improves.
Arnesen leaving was a blow to Levy. Comolli didn't work out. Redknapp was an excellent short term manager. It appears Poch wanted to be manager/DOF rather than head coach when he seemed more suited to head coach with a DOF.
So I don't blame Levy but he has never quite got the management setup he wanted in place. It's what he needs to take us forward.
Why people get so defensive at that is beyond me.

Only 3 clubs have a better set up? That’s a great position to be in. There’s reaction almost like we were in the same position as Bury or Bolton or Charlton. Yes, the cupboard is bare trophy wise (which they have attempted to fix this very week). But the foundations for the future are strongly in place. Solid foundations, not just built on a short term push for glory. I think ENIC have finally turned their attentions to what fans want. We love the stadium and training facilities but it’s not what we really wanted. They’re there now. Let’s move forward, let the Trophy Manager do his thing. And if that doesn’t work then, maybe shine a light on what’s gone wrong.
And maybe then someone will hand over a crazy amount of dosh and do things we think ENIC can’t. Although there’s still no guarantee.

You seem to be disagreeing with things I haven't said.

It was redknapp who passed on him because he didn’t believe Suarez could play up top on his own. He’s since said he was wrong.

People want us to spend fortunes on players yet the majority of our expensive players have turned out to be duds.
I have complained in the past however that levy’s transfer strategy of buying last minute (when the window used to shut at the end of august) has led to managers starting the season with one hand tied behind their backs. That much has been true.
I think the argument that they don’t spend anything is basically these people’s gripe. Yet at the same time ignoring us spending over a billion quid on buying up property in Tottenham and building a new ground.
Obviously there’s also people who’ll complain no matter what. Nothing will ever be good enough for them.

We all miss Poch, but we all recognised that the CL final marked the passing of something. Levy saw an opportunity to get José Mourinho into the club (which possibly began as far back as the Legends game) and gave it as long as he could. The peculiar timing of the change was likely down to ensuring José was completely signed down before he made the move.
Tough decision, but no one could accuse of this not being in the club's best interest.

And yet we still have Spurs fans blaming Levy for it.

I got it wrong actually. He said it was the scouts who said he couldn’t play up top on his own and was too similar to Rafa.
Tottenham tried to sign Luis Suárez but were told he was not up to it
Harry Redknapp has revealed he tried to sign Luis Suárez but his scouts told him he was not good enough to play up front on his own

But yeah ENICs fault obviously ?

Definitely OUT, but for purely personal reasons. As a shareholder, I would get a windfall from any takeover; at least twice what I would receive from selling on AssetMatch (say, an extra £5K-£6K if the club is sold for £1billion).
As a supporter, however, I think that ENIC have been pretty good custodians.

West Ham and Newcastle have history, when was that exactly.
Everton is a big football club they other two are not.

One trophy is 20 years..He definitely sussed our fanbase. I honestly think he could sell sand to the Arabs and make them greatful.
