Man’s doing a bloody good job of making sure the “get out of our club” songs continue into next season.

The renewed optimism some of us had really didn't last very long did it :(

Unfortunately, I think we're at the point where there will continually be a cloud over our club until this ownership leaves.

He won't ever change his ways. He won't ever hand over control to people more capable. He won't replace the sycophants on the board to bring in fresh faces with fresh ideas.

There's a large and growing portion of our fanbase who don't like him and won't trust him and while he remains as prominent as he always has been - this club will never be united.

We'll have positive periods like finishing 4th under Conte and hopefully more under Ange but they will always be fleeting.

We're a club starving for fresh impetus and a new modus operandi. That won't happen under Levy and until he leaves, there's going to remain a cloud of negativity around our club :(

Well said.

Genuinely curious, if Levy brings in a starting CB before the start of the season, sells/replaces Kane up front, and Ange wins the FA Cup year one, would anyone cut Levy slack?

Or would it just be "a blind squirrel finds a nut", "Just a tinpot domestic cup, win the league" type posts. Wish I could add a poll.

I think it would be fair to expect a few seasons of more pragmatic decision-making (that leads to on-field performance) before current opinions would need to be reassessed.

That’s a lot of unlikely hypotheticals to make a point.

He’s a hypothetical

if Levy started acting like a competent owner that understands football in 2023 and starts making sound long term strategic decisions……would anyone start cutting Levy some slack?

Ali Gold confirming in his latest video, that Levy is still yet draw out the 50 mill, that they put up for capital share 🤦🏼‍♀️
I don't think this is any surprise at this stage. At all.
ENIC have done a marvellous job of making money from Tottenham Hotspur and raising its value exponentially. And they have done so without spending any of their own money. They have never spent what they have not made - I suppose I am surprised at myself for thinking that would change at this stage.
Let's be honest we will spend the majority of the Kane / Sanchez / PEH money and probably leave that £50m where it is .....earning 13%.

I have been very cynical about new owners for some time as I have watched owners of other clubs cause havoc and run amok. I still have that fear as for everything i complain about with regards to ENIC; you have to say this is a vastly different club infrastructure wise than the one they paid for 20 odd years ago.
If the new owners would grow the commercial side so that we can continue bring in more revenue than any other club like we are but with proper investment into the football club I genuinely think we would be juggernauts in the European game. However what I suppose is I am asking for the "perfect" owner whom do not exist.

How can anyone do something for 20+ years and still be so bad at it?

The focus has never been on making a winning team on the field.

I have often read that if that if they did sell to anyone that it would be on the proviso that Levy remains as chairman, why would that be?

The worrying thing for me is, he seems to be getting worse at making high level decisions.

it's not only that.
Just when you think it can't get any worse baldy goes "hold my beer"

Where in the world is our CFO? where are our cbs? why is the deadwood still here? Worse thing is the compete radio silence

Can't see the end of this Daniel coys shaped tunnel. Hope ange succeeds in spite of him, cause it sure as hell won't be because of him.

He's been the most divisive element at the club for a good while now.

As I said a few months back, the only thing that just might move the dial is a mass walk out at some pre-arranged point in the game so the stadium is virtually empty. Do this game after game, and the bad publicity generated will have to generate some sort of response.

I dont for a moment underestimate how difficult this will be to pull off re publicising it and getting buy in from 50,000+ fans who pay the highest ticket prices in Europe to see the games, but it can be done.

Last year was an utter calamitous shitshow, an embarasing scandal of a season.

We had the 5th worst defence in the league and are probably about to lose our greatest ever striker and a man who grew up a Spurs fan and is IMO the best striker in the world

But here we are with the season 2 weeks away and we have not signed a single CB, even though we need two because getting a good deal is way way way more important than allowing a player to come in early, join the tour, get used to a new club, new teammates, new manager, new system and new City - all that comes a distant second to shaving a few quid off the price.

And if Kane goes it will be with barely a week to go before the season starts. Losing him is disastrous if it happened in May, let alone days before the Brentford game.

Why does Levy run the club this way? Because he knows he can get away with it, that’s why.

Sure there were protests and chants, and booing etc last season, but it was no big deal for him.

We need to make that beautiful stadium a cauldron of hate and anger. We need to make it so that he utterly dreads every home game, such that he feels uncomfortable just being there. Then and only then might things change, and even then quite possibly not.

But we as fans need to up our game if we are to have even a small possibility of getting our club back.

In terms of publicity, fliers, adverts on social media etc, i would be more than happy to help finance it as I’m sure thousands of others would too
