Makes Levy sound power mad, like he can’t let go even if he destroys his own legacy.
Didn't we have the report recently citing that the board believe they've done nothing wrong in the circumstances?

It's not just Levy, it's the rest of the cronies as well that need rooting out and their lack of accepting responsibility for their actions could well cost us here re QSI.

There is a handbrake being applied somewhere and I don't think that is solely down to Levy

The first part of your sentence is true; the second part mostly isn’t. You’d be amazed (or perhaps you wouldn’t) how important it is to DL to stay on as chairman, which was/is/will be an unacceptable condition to an entity that wants to buy the entire club. He’s got more chance of achieving that goal if he can convince an entity to buy a minority stake .

In response to another Post

There's more than one example where his insistence on remaining in the chairman role has soured potential deals to sell the club. What I don't know or understand is why JL didn't overrule him, unless the offers didn't match his valuation, but in that scenario whether DL stayed on or not would be moot.
:shrug:
Bloody hell. If the above is true, then we're screwed. It means Levy is hanging on to that Chairman position like a pit bull. What's up with that? So, even if he gets offered a ton of cash in exchange for him stepping down, he still wouldn't? Does playing transfer games mean so much to him?

This guy will keep us in football purgatory.

Zero self-awareness across the board (pun intended)

Is this mentioned in specific relation to what’s going on at QSI or just generally in regards to the club being sold? I honestly don’t know how the fuck we are going to get him out of our club. It’s depressing.

I think this is why Trix said it could be both good and bad news regarding QSI investing.

We're turning into a football North Korea.

All players will be required to have portraits of Chairman Levy in their homes.

Have to just pray that JL gets involved this/next time and overrules it. I'm not holding my breath though...

You wait until people find out he's contracted the makers of the Spitting Image masks to make a load of Levy masks. The uses for those will be many.

Someone donning one of those and mugging a chairman of another club would be so fitting.

As I've said previously Levy desperately wants to win things and is 100% committed to Spurs. His problem is he doesn't know how to do that and thinks he can do it his way, which of course everyone but the man himself knows he can't. As for the other stuff regarding other investors, I'd say it's very possible that has A/ happened and B/ that old Prof Dumbledick knows that. I'm going back a few years but there was an ITK on there that wasn't always up to date with transfers and team stuff, but was A1 as far as the financials and commercial deals were concerned and I'd imagine he is still on there.

If someone buys Joe’s shares surely that gives them the right to shift Daniel. Would it be acceptable in the case of a buyout for Daniel to stay for a set time. Say 2 years.
Todd Boehly cleared out the whole Chelsea hierarchy when he took over. Remains to be seen whether that was a good idea.

If that's true I'm getting one, and I'll use it next time I'm in the club shop. I'll fill up my basket and try and negotiate the purchases at the till with chocolate buttons.

Just gives the vibes we are going or should I say Levy is going to screw the whole thing up while Joe the absent owner does nothing.

Depends how much influence DL has on Lewis. If he's clinging on no matter the consequences then every possibility he's in Lewis' ear telling him we could get more etc. from a full takeover, or only to approve sale of minority stake so that the deal collapses and/or he stays on as chairman.

He hasn't exactly been opposed much by fans though has he? We've had a short spell of discontent but very few Levy out chants and they've always dies quickly. He usually makes a change and it always buys him time. I'd like to hear the chants continue at least until we get Conte what he needs. I don't think he'll leave but it may at least pressure him to to push the boat out some more in the transfer window.

Just confirms my feelings from the other day.

Levy takes this 'custodian' role far too overboard and is too controlling/protective.

I said the other day I felt 'his' stadium project is harming us because it happened with his vision and he wont be prepared to hand that over yet.

Like you buy a derelict house, redesign it and turn it into something incredible but then when or comes to handing the keys over to new owners you dont want to because you are worried they wont treat it right.

We are going to need Lewis' daughter to assist with his removal.

The only good thing about this is that Lewis doesnt control his share of the club any more. So it could happen now.

Or the Qataris take control, tell levy he can stay on and then fuck him off in a few years time. If not, this will go the same way as the other possible takeovers. No new purchaser would want to keep him around. It’s why we need to keep up the anti levy protests.
