The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

[rossdapep]

The decision to sack Pochettino when he had clearly hit burnout and had badly misspent our transfer funds in that summer was still probably the right - or at the very least a reasonable - decision.

The subsequent decisions to replace him with managers with a track record for sulking if they’re not buying ready-made players to fit rigid systems, with little or no tactical flexibility, and with a penchant for a tactical approach completely at odds with both what Pochettino had built and what the club has previously stood for, have been a litany of bloody awful decisions from which it will take many years to recover.

Yep.

If he'd have appointed say Eddie Howe in 2019, I think many would have been bewildered and there's always a chance it would have failed but ultimately we wouldn't have gone down this road.

It also means you can continue apponting similar coaches and recruiting players that fit these types.

 

[Joely]

He is out of his depth when up against the leadership at other clubs. Can argue the way he operates somewhat worked in the noughties but he just comes across stale now. He can put various layers in but we know he ultimately has the keys and drives and it will always go through him. Successful modern football clubs are not run like that anymore.

He is delusional if he thinks he can carry on operating the way he does and bring success. Saying that success in his eyes is making top 4 which is going to be even harder with Newcastles emergence.

 

[g_harry]

Watching Son 100 prem goals on sky. It absolutely criminal what the club done with that 2017 team. Didn't kick on & invest - for that alone Levy should be chased out of this club.

 

[kursaal]

Levy gives the impression.that he sees the football club.as a huge inconvenience now he's got all the showbiz events, property portfolio and other sports to sell out the stadium. Tottenham Hotspur football club simply get in the way of his wonderful plans.

 

[mil1lion]

Levy speaks about where we were when ENIC took over, well we're heading back to that position again

 

[HW61]

Footballing people (yes I know, largely pricks) on Sky, post match, similarly finding it absurd to have Conte’s no.2 staying on in charge. Well of course it is.

Yet another atrocious decision by Levy and yet he continues arrogantly. It simply won’t change under these owners. He lines up scapegoat after scapegoat. It’s never him.

I’m surprised he’s not campaigning to reduce the football season down to 4 months like the NFL so that he can host more concerts etc and fewer Spurs matches.

 

[midoshairband]

Im not going again this season. Had enough, rather spend time/money with kids

christ, things must be bad.

 

[PrettyColors]

Fabio Paratici may be facing criminal charges and be banned from football.

but what Daniel Levy has done to this club is deserving of far worse punishment than that.

 

[Spunkmonkey]

I’m not saying the season was savable when Conte was sacked, but for then to Levy to listen to Paratici and say yeah just give it to Stellini for the rest of the season, should be the final nail in the coffin for Levy and his long list of mistakes.

 

[TC18]

Yep.

If he'd have appointed say Eddie Howe in 2019, I think many would have been bewildered and there's always a chance it would have failed but ultimately we wouldn't have gone down this road.

It also means you can continue apponting similar coaches and recruiting players that fit these types.

The major problem with Levy is that he makes footballing decisions as if he is the average fan down the pub. When he appointed Mourinho, a large section of the fan base (me included), thought it was a good idea, we had a team, just needed a manager to take us over the edge.

In hindsight it was wrong. But a footballing person would have known that’s the wrong call. There’s no system, it’s as if he’s playing FM. We’re being told he’s lining up players and going to be extending contracts on players.

He is in no way qualified to make these calls. He’s an exceptional business man, but is no better at running the football side than 95% of your average fan.

I’ve never understood why he has never surrounded himself with the best footballing people in the business, best scouts and set up the best youth system. Base the system on something like Ajax.

He keeps telling everyone that the city’s, newcastles, Chelsea’s, uniteds etc are ruining the game. Look at different ways we can compete..

Yes we might not be able to outspend them, what’s the point in trying? But we don’t have too if recruitment was better, youth system was better, if the club had a clear philosophy and identity. These are things we can compete with them. Stick with it, don’t flip flop about, be clear and decisive.

 

[Phil-spur99]

It just unbelievable arrogant to think that he can run a football club differently to every other club in terms of its structure, recruitment etc (just buying players because they are “good deals” not to fit any plan etc.) and make it work when 20 years of experience shows it isn’t working. Stay out of all footballing matters altogether.

 

[Joe Bjorn Hotspur]

If anyone is interested the ENIC / Levy out protest will be opposite the club shop before the United game on Thursday.

We will not all agree, however, if you are fed up (attending or not attending the game) come along. It’s a simple message and one that will not change things over night, however, sustained pressure is key.

I will be making the trip up from Devon and I will empty seat my ST for the next home games. Not going to put my ticket up on exchange (also even if I did there wouldn’t be many takers, even if there were I wouldn’t put it up).

It will be peaceful and a good chance to meet others too.

 

[makeveli]

How does he expect it t o get any better with him there just how his had 20 years of failure just how

 

[Gb160]

Newcastle fans fought enough to get the parisite in charge to sell up. Protests etc against this ownership need to be stepped up. Enough is enough. New ownership and direction only hope for this club.

It took them years of protests, and even then Ashley held out and only sold when his valuation was met.

It will take orchestrated, well planned pressure, and a fucking lot of it to make these fuckers even think about cashing their chips.
Don’t get me wrong, fair play to anyone doing anything in the way of protesting, but what we’ve seen so far will have barely even registered to Levy and Lewis.

 

[Saoirse]

18 months with no transfers.
Our best manager since Burkinshaw sacked for running out of miracles with that squad.
The most expensive tickets in world football.
Jose, Nuno and Conte hired despite football totally against our principles.
A criminal crook appointed as Director of Football.
Spending over a hundred million on wingbacks only to realise after four years the system you bought them for doesn't work.
The rot comes from the top and the cokcerals are home to roost.

 

[Dov67]

Hopefully that result will shake out the last remnants of apathy from the home crowd and the stadium against Man U will be a rocking cauldron of anger and rebellion

I would like to make it so hot that Levy and the rest of the board utterly dread every home game.

 

[Joely]

Bloke seems more concerned about flagging up the ownership issues at City and Newcastle. Firstly focus on getting your own house in order and then look to address other issues.

Like anything is going to change with the Saudi's at Newcastle when the govt have probably given them the green light to keep them sweet.

Yep. I supported sacking Poch but ever since then Levy has made an absolute pig's ear of footballing decisions. It is absolutely unacceptable and infuriating that he faces zero consequences and continues to act like he's doing a good job.

 

[n5yiddo]

i'm really looking forward to our great leaders next masterstroke, seeing as he is such a brilliant footballing tactician. It's like a comedy of disasters. He still thinks that he's the appropriate man to get us out of the mess. Delusional Daniel will probably do something spectacular, fail to fully back the manager, get in some players the manager didn't want, put unrealistic price tags and fail to sell the dross and then ....groundhog day.
