Exactly. The players, to a man, have some culpability for a really poor performance, collectively and individually, but the set up of the team was the biggest problem for me on Sunday. To pick that team on that occasion was kamikaze stuff.

He still had a value. Which is contradictory to the context being laid out though.
The biggest issue is that we can't offload our cast offs.

I think the problem i have with that position is we could easily fall into Everton territory with Levy in charge. He is showing no sign of learning from any of his errors and to confound the issue the league will only continue to have more state funded teams and savvy operations like Brighton. No one knows WHO is taking over as we cant predict the future but one thing i am more certain on is that with the current board in place we are going nowhere.

Newcastle took their foot off the gas due to being 5-0 up at HT. that’s what really happened.
I do think he could be a good leader and i do think his heart is in the right place.
If he's not going to sell, i do hope this becomes the final learning that he should step away from the footballing side and concentrate on what he's good at.
I'm not defending him in the slightest - because i think this has been a long-time coming, but i do think he could be a good chairman if - and only if - he steps away from the football completely.

Also minutes ago on the advisory board, we’ve heard this before… https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2023/april/tottenham-hotspur-launches-fan-advisory-board/

Trying to quell disgruntlement, COYS Dan a little worried about upcoming matches I would assume, see’s the Stellini sacking didn’t have the required lift he was hoping for.

The very least the loyal away fans deserve. Wonder if they do it again when/if we get beat/hammered on Thursday? Sorry but feeling very disappointed by these gutless players who just don't care.
Just the usual false promises again!

Just seen this email too
honestly the timing of spurs PR work is something special.
like everything else at that club, it’s reactive rather than proactive.
I know it’s possibly a coincidence and they’d planned this all along but as soon as things go to shit, they want to get out there are pretend to ‘“listen to the fans”
At the moment, if you ask most Tottenham fans what they think of Tottenham, they’d get the same answer if they ask arsenal fans

This is bollocks btw. Take the money off the next home ticket price if you want to find the money to reimburse fans.

Coys Dan accepting responsibility by sacking Stellini then getting the players to pay for the tickets, then, trying painfully so to relate to the fans, he’s shitting himself isn’t he, doing whatever he can to avoid having to ‘pay’ himself.

haha this is all so transparent it's hilarious

sudden announcement of a fan advisory board step forward
contrite statement from the players
and people still want to say protest makes no difference?
still want to say Levy doesn't care if people boo him at a home game?
He clearly cares a lot and hates it.
They never do this stuff proactively. Because they believe in it and think its right. It's always a last minute gesture when they realise a peasant revolt is brewing. As soon as Levy thinks we aren't looking, he will slip straight back into his bad old ways
None of this is nearly enough. Let's keep the heat on these people who are holding our club hostage

Rinse and repeat. We've all been here before. CYA.
I accept that the football landscape has changed in the last decade, never mind the last 20 yrs but that was to our advantage. Aside from the locked in Sky4 back in the day, it took some decent planning and execution by the club to cement us as that fifth wheel and we kept knocking on the door until we finally got our foot through it. Very well done it was and he rightly got the kudos.
As difficult as that was for a club that had seen it's fortunes wildly fluctuate in the preceding 20 years, it was a lot easier than trying to repeat that trick would be now with the added clubs sniffing around.
With that in mind, it'll take some very keen and hyper-focused people making the footballing decisions now and whatever DL is or is not - a footballing guru is not it. Nor any of the others on the board. I just have zero faith the right decisions will be made if they keep on being made by the same people.
Maybe both things are true. 20 years ago up until a decade ago Levy was an excellent chairman. Now, with his old routine and old ways in a very different operating environment, he's almost a liability in terms of the footballing operations.
And yeah, yeah, maybe he'll change. It'll be different this time. Like I said, rinse and repeat.

In the last 24 hours:
Levy "taking responsibility"
Fans being refunded
Announcement of fan advisory board
Whether you believe that anything will come of these changes or whether they are PR stunts or not, it's clear that the recent fan unrest is having an effect.
A lot of people on here say "I don't defend Levy but what can we do".
Well, he's always been sensitive to fan pressure. And the discontent is the highest it's ever been.
No one can force ENIC to sell but you're wrong if you think that the outrage won't have any effect.

It’s clear from the timing of this stuff, I mean it’s almost comical from Desperate Dan (see what I done there) when Levy was asked in Cambridge what the fans thought of him, he knows…

Spot on and a mass protest has yet to begin: if fans get together this will be all over the media, it cannot stop here, I hope most don’t get fooled by this.

This is placating, not meaningful change.
