The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

[YIDfromtheLANE]

Think that’s a very valid point. Sponsors often pull their investment when things go sour… our current trajectory is analogous to that direction

What needs to happen that the negativity needs to be ramped up and also directly on the sponsors, feed their timelines with crap, impact their own product,
Make it an environment that when Levy is hob nobbing with Corporate sponsors at lunches, dinners, events, that the topic rears its head - that’s when the penny will drop. Imagine the mood music when CEO’s start to say ‘Daniel we need to have a word’. That will make the model crumble and financing be under stress so quickly he’ll shit himself.

He is just a bloke after all. He looks done in.

I don't like to see a human look that helpless.

Strangely, I make an exception here…..

I'm surprised Disney haven't bought the naming rights for this Mickey Mouse club

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Hes fucking useless at his job, and that's why he looks defeated and worn out.

Do the right thing by the Club and stand down.

Opinion: Daniel Levy needs to get out of the way, for Tottenham’s sake and for his.

These pieces are never fun to write, but I’m fired up so let’s go in two-footed with the studs up.

I'm not a fan of the current situation, but I know what it's like to get treated like crap by clients on a much much much smaller scale - and I fleece them for loads of cash too. (Lol, jokes on me really, as I totally under-record to save my write-off figures, and probably under-fleece as a result).

I'm not motivated to work for those people, and although it doesn't translate overly well as an analogy, I kinda get how he feels in that picture. How he can motivate himself after this long to go into another manager search - something he himself should not be doing in any case - but then maybe that's the problem, if he hadn't been dealing with all of the footballing side for so long then maybe it wouldn't be like this and he'd be just in the background, counting the profits and we'd say "what a great chairman, let's the right people get on with the right stuff".

I don't like to see a human look that helpless.

All fair points I suppose his decisions have making thousands of spurs fans unhappy on a daily basis for the last 3-4 years!

I agree it’s not nice seeing another human look that helpless but surely to goodness for the sake of everyone he needs to decide to step aside.

Does anyone know his new E-mail address as he changed it from the @tottenhamhotspur.co.uk one.

It's hard to feel sorry for someone who takes so much money out of our club and is so self centred. It's like feeling sorry for a politician. They live in their own world and are so out of touch with the rest of us.

I have been trying to explain to the wife who doesnt watch football, how bad things have gotten at spurs, (last she thought was we were a decent team…. Urmm hello love have u not seen how many times this team has swung my mood daily?) I found it really difficult to relay it so said i wanted to vent and post here and list as many of the incompetent things levy has sanctioned in our recent history so lets go and just go back to within 5 years. Im sure i will miss things but lets try.

- our most successful recent manager asked for signings to rebuild and he got 3 windows of no signings. (An unwanted record by premier league standards)

- the said manager the season after guiding us almost to glory on a few occasions, instead of being backed was fired.

- we hire mourinho and instead of backing him we sign mediocre players like doherty, vinicius etc. then he guides us to a final (albeit playing garbage football) and we sack him a week before a cup final…. Tell me has any reputable club done such a thing?

- when covid hit we decide to furlough our staff and get dogs abuse nationally, for being money grabbers along with Liverpool.

- the super league fiasco. We were one of the chief instigatorsp in this out of touch plan and no doubt levy loved being one fo the heads of the table.

- our stadium (probably levy's only saving grace) has no naming rights attached on it almost 4 years after being completed. You just know he was always holding out for more money but should have done it when we just got to a champions league final. Instead we have nothing and have probably lost out on 100million if not more already and the way the pr is at the club atm who would want to tag along to us now?

- after sacking mourinho levy promises getting back to spurs football so he tries for conte but is rejected for being unambitious. He then hires a football director who we now know is dodgy as f at the time. This director rips up our manager search list and decides to go for fonseca… there is a last minute change of heart and we go for gattusso instead… we then find out he has made bigoted comments before so the backlash pushes us to nuno…. Who i didn't mind at the time but he was no way shape or form a spurs type of manger.

- nuno is a disaster so we try and get poch but he cant come so we get conte instead (probably promising him the world). (Again this makes no sense as poch and contes styles as so different).

- conte works for a bit but ultimately is fed up with the way we are run and makes murmurs of leaving in january, but lasts until march where he blows his top.

- we then take almost 2 weeks to fire him only to appoint his number 2 in charge who has been with him for years, (again who does that!?)

- this is a disaster so we fire the number 2 and put the number 3 in charge in ryan mason. (Do you not think we need a fresh voice by now!)

- we also know that the director of football faced criminal charges for months and get him to release a random statement from a hotel room on the eve of him being banned from football. Instead of sacking him there and then we wait another month or so for him to hear his appeal. He then resigns himself.

- so we have known for 4-5months minimum that we have needed a new director of football and manager for next season and we are literally no further along from appointing them.

- we clearly tried for nagglesmann and failed but put out a dodgy statement we never even tried to speak to him. Then to be rejected by slot (who two days ago was practically begging to leave and join the premier league) just shows how sorry of a state we are in. Even if it is finances what is 5million extra for a guy that could transform the club if he is the one you want?


honestly i am at a loss as to how even two or three of the above things are acceptable let alone over a dozen of them. Biggest anger for me is how much i let this club and levy’s running of it get to me. Having watched the majority of our matches this year i calculated that i’ve watched over 100 hours of spurs football, which is just over a waking week. It’s unfair on my family that i let this crap get to me so much, this club is bloody toxic the way it is run. I was one second away from cancelling my membership then last second i stopped just in case by some miracle we stumble upon something good next year and i go watch us live again. But that is just it, we STUMBLE into the good things, even poch levy wanted van gaal and was rejected. We have no capacity to plan as shown by our scattergun approach to random acts of hiring and firings.

Really wish there was a way of switching off and waking up in august just to avoid all the stupid ‘banter’ levy and the running of this club makes. Anyway sorry for the long post, really just wanted to vent and process my frustration.

Great post.

You have missed some stuff out. Player acquisitions. Stadium over run. Nearly double the cost thanks to his micro and indeed macro management.

But that's a fair summary for around 5 years of his toxic, incompetence.

Agreed. I also forgot to make one other point, our leadership from the top definitely reflects on the pitch. How many other top clubs in the last 5 years have had capitulations and been knocked out of cups the way that we have against the likes of colchester with poch, the zagreb loss under mourinho and the mura loss under conte? One off losses like these can happen but we do it time and time again unlike any other BIG club, which we claim to supposedly be.

I honestly don’t think we’ll get rid of him until ENIC sell up. Trouble is the club might be up for sale but no one is going to pay what Lewis wants for it.
What is more absurd is that we’ve been saying for years on here that levy should not be involved in the football side of things but no one above him has moved him sideways, even after every cock up over the last five years.
We can criticise Levy as much as we want but ultimately there are guys higher up the food chain who if they wanted to could have quite easily moved him aside, the fact that they haven’t is more concerning.
Who the hell is pulling the strings at Tottenham? I’d love to say who is pulling the strings at our club but that ship sailed years ago unfortunately.

 

[Spursmatty87]

I wonder how badly the premium ticket renewals are down. Tunnel club, boxes, etc. They are preposterously expensive and while DL obviously couldn't care less about Spurs fans, he most certainly does care about the corporates, the entire stadium project was built with them as the centerpiece. They must surely be significantly down, how can any company justify spending thousands per game to watch the most boring, losing football imaginable.

Don’t they have to sign up for multiple years though?

Great post mate, I and I’m sure most on here are like you: we just cannot stop our passion and love for this club.

I’m away in Helsinki and honestly thought that this latest saga was a joke. I had a look on this forum to check whether the Slot stuff was any closer and hay ho here we go again.

I have an awful feeling that things are going to get worse: I’m getting that doom vibe of the late 90s early 2000s. Levy and ENIC need to go and sell up, everyone outside of the club are more than aware of their carry on.

I know this isn’t going to happen over night but the discontent will eventually grow from all corners at the club, especially from those who were not really bothered about the Levy & ENIC out calls, the incompetence and sheer contempt they show us fans cannot be denied at all.
