The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

[g_harry]

but the last two failures as managers were so called top managers who both took the side backwards

Sorry you are right to point that out I really should reword that and what I mean is they have no intention of properly backing the manager at the club. By the way that is not necessary spending big on players.

Not so sure they took us backwards to be fair. That maybe more do with how the club has been run.

Why can’t you just be a normal club like everyone else , Spurs?

I swear Levy is the only chairman who intentionally goes out the way to make the fans hate the club

I'm no fan of Levy but I feel like it's incompetence rather than anything deliberate. He's no Mike Ashley.

What happen to joe Lewis daughter? I thought she was getting more involved? Wasn’t a fan of levy? Maybe she needs to come back and sort this mess out and get levy gone at the same time!

Levy is just unable to concede an inch on anything. Always his ego before the club, whether it's transfers, personalities, the granular bullshit of a few quid in a contract, the fucking ghoul of a man just can't help himself.

IF his priority were this club, if it really genuinely were, he'd appoint JN with the DOF he wanted to work with and let them have at it, take a hit on some power and sit back and enjoy the ride... but it's not about the Club, it's about HIM its always about HIM he's an egomaniacal narcissist with some distorted view on reality where he is the centre of the known universe.

If we end up with anyone other than POCH, JN or SLOT, it's another failure, and he HAS to go. Has to. No argument validates a decision or choice not to appoint one of those. Money, pay it. Power, give it. Personality clash, go to therapy and deal with it.

You sound angry, AngryBob

The real victim in all of this is Mrs Levy. No way she's getting away with just a pat on the leg after this shambles.

Perhaps you don't speak for the majority of fans. Those voicing unreasonable grievances and making futile demands are luckily a small minority.

Our club has made substantial progress under Levy while Newcastle, West Ham and Manure have not over the past 20 years. Those are all very badly run clubs (as are most clubs). I would also argue that the fans had little impact on decisions made by the owners.

The best we can hope for is that Levy delegates footballing decisions to a competent and experienced DOF and hires a coach who plays progressive and entertaining football. I do think that is what Levy is trying to do.

Not sure you can compare us to Man Utd, yes they’ve regressed under glaziers on the pitch, but FML they’ve still won 5 premier leagues, 1 champions league, 1 world club cup, 2 FA cups, 1 league cup and 1 europa.

The more I read the statement it seems Levy can do no wrong

Hahahahaha

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

I can assure you that your views are of a minority of "fans"

You do realise that what goes on this site is just a bunch of very frustrated fans voicing their opinions. We are not actually doing anything in the sense that we have no agency over decisions made by Levy and co. I'd say thinking you do is a little unhinged.

The last twenty years have been mostly good. To describe Levy as an incompetent or someone who doesn't want the best for the club is just silly.

It's easy to criticise in retrospect as it is to allow your frustration to cloud the facts.

Pretty sure 20m for Slot would be 3rd highest compensation fee paid for manager, only Nagelsmann and Potter was more expensive.

Not sure that’s the amount but bigger picture - clubs have finally realized they can demand big comp for managers. This is now going to be standard operating procedure for anyone looking to hire a working manager and what’s shocking is that Levy & Co haven’t realized it.

it’s similar to how they were about 5 years late to realize that other clubs don’t have to sell their best players for cheap because of financial pressure at the xfer deadline any more.

Its a fans forum, of course it doesnt affect him. Its a place for supporters to express themselves and their views. Since the stadium has been built, its been extremely incompetent. You're being stubborn.

Lets see IF/WHEN we sell the club, if Levy and co write off the stadium debt from the purchase price or the new owner keeps it. That will tell me how much Levy truly cares. I think I know the answer.

This annoys me.

People have been complaining for years about Levy's approach.
Now it's finally come back and fucked us over you're suggesting it's all "hindsight" and "retrospect".
Likewise, if everyone starts quoting all the concerns that have ended up true, I suspect they'll be statements like "I told you so isn't going to help anyone right now".

It's the same argument that Brexiteers are using. People have been highlighting the isues for years but they're dismissed until they get so big that they can't be ignored but then "we need to look forward" and "it's no time for recriminations".

Fuck Levy.

I am seriously(genuinely) starting to wonder if you are a club PR plant tbh.

On the non footballing side the last 20 years have been incredible.

On the footballing side it has been a mix of good and meh. However what it is culminating in now is "bad".

We've lost our regular CL qualification status. We've gone another year without silverware. We've got a mess of a situation across ALL footballing parts of the club. And there are 8-10 PL teams who we are now seriously competing with.

Getting Conte in was massive for us, but Levy didn't back him. Getting this next manager appointment right is more than massive, it could easily define the club's footballing future for the next 5-10 years.

And yet here we are again, fucking groundhog day, with Levy penny pinching and dithering.

The man is beyond out of his depth when it comes to running the footballing side of the business. There's honestly posters on this forum that would do a better job. He has made the decision to bring in Munn, so the only hope now is that on 1st July Munn takes over the control and get this fucking mess we're in sorted.

 

[brasil_spur]

It was £15m. We went to £10m.

We paid Mourinho and Conte what £15m a year?

We wouldnt have had to pay Slot that yearly.

Its classic Levy refusing to defeat hardball in negotiations by the sounds of reports.

And now watch as we go and panic in a month's time and pay some other club more money to release a manager who's our 6th choice and who we then sack in 6 months. FFS this club and Levy are a joke right now.

I was responding the YB123 comment:

"Compared to what Newcastle achieved with Ashley, United with Glazers now and even West Ham getting GSB"

Man U are one the richest clubs in the world which is why they have won so much. Under Levy we've narrowed the gap but despite the Glazers we are still a long way from them.

Everyone makes mistakes so of course Levy can do wrong. Going for Mourihno and his brand of negative results based football was a decision I was totally against. There have been plenty of other mistakes but on balance I'd say he has been a good owner, probably one of the better ones over the past 20 years.

This isn't aimed at you in any way but thought I would just highlight your point. I couldn't give a fuck about the non-footballing side. I think some fans support Spurs as much as a business than they do a football club.

I'm talking purely about the fanbase expressing their anger/disapproval.

Ashley sold up, Glazers have the club up for sale, GSB sold a large stake.

Can I ask you say hes been good over 20 years. What have we got to show for it than in say 30/40 years you can look back on?

 

[McArchibald]

So you admit that Levy did have the ‘vision’ to appoint him in first place when no other teams in the league were following that path?

He had the stupidity to abandon it at the first sign of headwind, the idiot.
