Is it time for Daniel Levy to step down?

[trasores]

Daniel Levy has been our chairman for nearly 13 years now and in that time we have had 10 managers (including caretaker managers - Graham who he sacked, Pleat, Hoddle, Pleat, Santini, Jol, Allen, Ramos, Redknapp, AVB and now sherwood). I know that he is a tough negotiator and looks after the interests of the clubs finances, but his job is to ultimately make spurs successful on the pitch (which leads to higher revenues and better profile).

If your job was to pick a manager in a business and you chose the wrong person that many times somebody would take you aside and pass the job on to another person.

I understand that we don't have money to through around but to constantly wait until the 11th hour of every transfer window to do our business may save a few million, but if we bought them before pre-season would could have time to integrate them into the team/squad and improve our chances playing to a system the coach/manager wants.

I'm not calling for his head - I'm simply asking the question.

I find this attitude disgusting, just because he is small doesn't mean he stands on a step

 

[tototoner]

Daniel Levy is brilliant, I love the wee man

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Anyone who attends board meetings sat in a blue and white high chair gets my vote.

 

[Darragh]

bring on the russians or arabs then we might have a footy club. its the only way forward ...

his method is sign players young or cheap in the hope one or two might develop and sell them on to a proper club for millions profit and dismantle team and start all over again.. he is a joke and so are spurs.

I detest Levy at the moment, but he has been REALLY good for the club too. We've got the making of a great squad but need bedding in time and to find some decent defensive cover.

I believe that only those whiter than white can call for Levy's head. Until fans accept they are part of the problem then nothing will change.

Fair comment.

Levy out

 

[Joeyboey]

Definitely time for Levy to step down. It would be the noble thing to do. The guy at Blackburn did a really good job. Maybe he could buy us? Or someone who'd rename us Tottingham Leopards. That would be really cool.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

where is the 'OFF WITH HIS HEAD' option?

 

[Damian99]

He's his own worst enemy.

Levy has a great job in charge of the club. My only problem is that he treats us more like a business than a football club. I don't want him to step down, but it is vitally important that who ever he chooses to be our manager now is the right choice, and one he keeps for more than just a season and a half at best.

 

[Ian Kane]

He's got to get this appointment right. Balls this up and I hope questions are asked of him.

 

[SuperPav]

I don't necessarily think so. But we need something fresh at the club.

Introducing Sherwood, who apparently has been part of a long ongoing power struggle between different elements in the club, really isn't what we need.

We need fresh blood, fresh air and someone with experience. Not someone who is there because he has been on Levy's site and wants to play with Adebayor in a 4-4-2.....

 

[SlunkSoma]

Reserving judgement. But I, like many it seems need to see some movement forward. I'm not quite sure why, but this set back has really got to me.

No it isn't, that is what we hire managers or Directors of Football/Head Coaches to do. They're fired either because they're incompetent, because fans have taken a dislike to them or because they're butting heads with the board in such a way as they can no longer be supported.

Daniel Levy has the unenviable task of making sure that there even is a Tottenham Hotspur in 15 or 20 years

 

[eddiev14]

No. People lay into Levy but he's taken the club so bloody far doing what he does and if he cashed in then who is to say we wouldn't get a nut job like the guy at Cardiff?

The problem is us, the fans, and our expectations.

There is a ceiling to what we can achieve as a club and we have hit it. That season in the CL has left us wanting more and we can't get what we want because we can't compete with the wages up at the top.

The one regret is that we will always end up looking back at that January when Redknapp signed Nelsen and Saha and think 'what if'. That may have been Levy's mistake but I have no doubt we will stabilise and remain a top 6 side.

Some people appear to be going to pieces over some bad results. The strides THFC has made under DL are bordering on amazing. To call for his head is way over the top.be annoyed he got more appointments wrong than right - and yes, it could be argued that our best fooball in the last 10 years has been under Harry... the manager that was probably the least 'considered' of any!


But there have only been two managers worth their salt in PL actuality; they're the ones that were given the longest time by their clubs through the poor results (weng and ferg)Levy probably got annoyed with AVB for more than just the results, the fans missed exciting swashbuckling attacking that Redknapp had us playing and were (too?) quick to turn on the Portuguese...


Levy needs to pull his finger out; but those of you who demand him to go over this are symptomatic of whats happening all around us. You're forgetting that not everyone can be no.1, that lots of work needs to go in, and practice makes perfect.


So what if we don't win the league this year, next year or for another 15? It's a game, a funny old proves-you're-alive-heartbreakingly-fun-ride game. We'll survive and be good again.

There's a balance to be found for sure, but perhaps those who constantly fawn over him and defend him no matter what, even when it's clear there's warranted criticism are as much over the top as those calling for his noggin on a plate. Maybe a bit of criticism heading his way for a change could be a good thing. I guess we'll find out.

 

[Spurvert]

I don't know.

I'm on the train on the way back from the game so whatever I say is out of anger

But he definitely deserves an unholy amount of stick
