I’m not pro Levy, far from it he has made huge mistakes, I’m sure he’d admit that himself.

I’m curious though from you guys what do you want from a new owner? And could you please give an example of a ‘good’ owner?

im seeing posts above like ‘I just want a vision to get behind’ .. let’s be honest that’s just guff that you read in chairman’s programmes notes … so what really is it? What actions, not words?

Unfortunately, and rather bafflingly, there are still many of our supporters who back Levy. Had to hear the tedious 'Levy isn't playing on the pitch' argument at the game on Sunday.
I wish he was playing on the pitch. More of a chance he could hear me calling him a useless, bald, four eyed fuck.

Instead of worrying about "who is the new owner", tell me how can Levy be any better right now? He's been with Spurs for what? 21 years? And only 1 trophy to show it. Maybe it's time for a replacement. Yes there are risks with the unknown. But we know what we re getting with Levy and it's shit. I'll take the unknown.

For me a good place to start/continue is the fans, particularly the away support flip flopping between chanting for Levy Out and singing Antonio’s song.

This will help make it clear to anybody listening that the Spurs faithful know where the issue is.

Do this long and loud enough the media will soon pick up on it!

Levy has his many faults but I do not blame him for our turgid performance this season. Its down to Conte, who was backed in the last two windows I may add. It seems that Conte is God and therefore not culpable by most of you.

It would be hard - but the easiest way to force change at the club is through an organized "strike" by supporters.

Pick one home game, and get as many supporters/Ticket holders as possible to "picket" outside of the stadium - instead of going in to the game. The sight of even a half-empty stadium on TV followed by coverage of the protests going on outside of the stadium would create the kind of viral moment that would require even Joe Lewis to act - to protect his interest in the club, lest the unrest continue to drive down the value of the club.

The other idea would be a massive walk-out in the middle of the game - say at the 30' mark. Fans streaming out of the stadium, again on TV, would be a massive talking point for weeks for football pundits around the world.
Wish we done what United fans done to force the board to sell. Us. spurs fans are too soft and Levy knows he can get an easy ride.

1st you make your own luck, the times we had title challenges and CL run in particular ENIC went AWOL those January's when an ambitious push with a couple of quality additions (most were crying out for) could well have seen us over the line, we'll never know but we do know by ENIC continuing their self restrictive policie$ we got nothing. Also 2 +4 + 7 (you're being kind with the 7 but I'll allow you it) = 23? (you said 1 a year) What did I miss? Lastly we have not been progressing steadily at all ironically since the Stadium has been built, the great much promised game changer.
Add the cup we did win. So that's 14 and I counted from when they took full control in 2007. 14 in 15.

Correct we have not been progressing since the stadium was built. We hit a ceiling and things broke and we're now trying to find our way again but it's only been a few years since. The new Tottenham is (thanks to Covid) only really a couple of years old.

I guess I just have more patience, optimism (and fear of the alternative) than most.

A start would be to keep tagging the big Journalists, into all the negative stuff doing the rounds on the net all the memes regarding time in charge v trophies, season ticket prices v success if they think there is enough momentum to generate views/clicks they'll go in two footed on Levy. And by the big journalists, I don't mean the Spurs branded Sausage roll munchers reporting for Football London or the Evening Standard. I hate Matt law but he'd be happy to stick it to Levy also the likes of Henry Winter and Martin Samuel for example.
Done ??

I’m not sure the fans will make difference to Levy. The only way things will change is if a buyout happens or when Lewis dies and his family take up his interests.

According to the ITKs, the problem fundamentally in the club is Mr Levy and the only way that we will progress into a team winning honours is the removal of said Mr Levy. I have no inside knowledge myself but I trust in their judgement.

The only way then to remove Mr. Levy is a concerted effort by the fans both inside the stadium during games and out. I am calling on the forum for ideas on how we can go about registering our public dissatisfaction with Mr Levy. It will take leaders within our community to execute such a plan to organize the protests and to ensure that media picks up on it. I am unfortunately based in the US these days so cannot stand outside the ground with a Levy Out sign but am looking to all of you to help. Please put your ideas in this thread on how we can push our agenda forward and any volunteers who can lead these campaigns and protests both during match day and at other times.

Mate, you're living in dreamland if you think the fans can remove the chairman and owner of the club. It's worth close to 4 billion pounds and no one is being hounded out from that because some fans are dissatisfied. He'll sell when he wants to and there's nothing you, or any one else, can do about it.

It can be done but requires a unity of purpose that you seldom see among fans

this is a pipe dream I know but what if everyone or even half the fans in the stadium got up and left EVERY game on 15 mins leaving a near empty stadium - 15 because its coming up to 15 years since we last won anything.

That would have an absolutely enormous impact particularly if it happens for many consecutive games and would make Levy's position untenable.

I have no idea how you would organise that, how it would work or whether it is possible but bloody hell I would love to see it and participate in it.

Untenable?

The club is his. He'll do what he wants. Any walkout in an effort to oust him is a waste of time and will only affect the team negatively.
