Fcuk off THST. I don't remember seeing a vote on any of the forums. None of my season ticket mates were asked.

Get back behind the team instead of trying to force the owner to sell.

What do you expect? Owners tried to sell behind the supporters back. This isn’t going to be something that can be just brushed aside.

I guess the best way to sum it up imagine you were married to someone all your life just to find out they go behind your back for this new hot sexy thing on the market knowing she’s touched you up in places she shouldn’t.

90% of the members that were on the zoom call, voted for it. An important detail.

Good on them, time for THST to step up and not act like a Levy puppet. There's a decent chance ownership rules will change in meaningful ways, possibly to prevent a similar super league plan again in future.

I think the six must also be punished in a way that says future clandestine backstabbing of the whole league will carry serious consequences. It's hard to see how the six can be trusted to engage in PL committee discussions.

The easiest answer at Spurs would be for enic to stay, but levy to go. New leadership to work back towards positions of trust.

I seem to be the lone voice in the wilderness. Levy was damned that he did and would have been damned if he didn't, if the ESL had gone on to be a success leaving us on the outside. Shit happened! Lessons learned! Get a grip and lets move on. Until someone can prove to me that Levy didn't have the club's interest at heart, all be it a clumsy and ill conceived idea, I will stick by him as our Chairman.

There was a similar sentiment in the other thread with someone arguing how this was "obviously" a "terrible" idea, but much better we be inside pissing out with the cabal.

Do you think this idea of a closed shop league was just clumsy and ill-conceived, or much worse?
Why would it have been even worse had if it had gone ahead without Spurs as one of the permanent members?
Would it be existential to spurs had it gone ahead without us in it?
Would it be great to be in a league of the same members in perpetuity, with no risk of relegation?

If you consider those questions and still somehow think levy's "heart" is the key here, rather than his judgement and outlook for spurs and the game, then fair enough. But you do appear to be alone in the wilderness for that reason.

He doesn't need damnation, just removal and replacement as the chairman of a 100+ year institution and negotiating voice for a sporting competition.

 

[Shadydan]

They want another owner who if the opportunity presents itself again would most probably do the same thing, good one.

Ask yourself why.

The bloke has shat on the fans, shat on the club and shat all over football in general. He's got the Premier League refusing to deal with him and his own fans calling for his head and i'd suggest his continuing as chairman will not be doing us any favours in the long run. I would imagine that going forward, every time we try to sign a player, we'll either get the other clubs point blank refusing to deal with him or you can add a few million on to the price.

Right now I cannot see an up side to Levy carrying on as Chairman. No offence but it amazes me that people can't see this, as I said elsewhere, in football you'll never get complete agreement, although in this case it's not far off that really

I've always said that there is literally nothing Levy could do that would have some people turn against him.

This proves it.

Don’t think youre the lone voice BS but im a bit surprised you dont see the problem.
Regardless of whether you think joining the ESL was the right thing or wrong thing to do surely you can see that fans, represented by THST should have been consulted in some way before such a momentous decision was made?

I get why he did it, but I think going behind the supporters and trust is what he did extremely wrong. He could of been open to us and tell us his reasons why he wanted to join. For example the main one is so we don’t get left behind by the elite which I get and a lot of others get. Open communication would of been better.

Oh Bullet
Levy has ENICs interests at heart not success of the football club.

For me its about the devil I know. Scares me what new owners may look like.

Levy, being the clever sort of fellow he is, who likes to deliberate and think. Knew exactly what sort of potential for fallout there might have been. Not just from fans, but from the wider picture of the EPL and other clubs. He gambled, I'm sure he thought it was worth it, but lost out. He's made spurs even more of a laughing stock and more importantly, shown a lack of integrity.

Other chairmen have left, because they know that the damage they have caused, not just with the fan base. But the wider picture will make their roles that much more difficult.

In a tumultuous season, with the Jose farce this was the last thing that was needed.

If he had any honour, I think he'd seppuku. Club desperately needs a restructure and new direction anyway. Just terrible timing with no head coach in place. Perhaps he will go once that is sorted.

What other chairmen?

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

What other chairmen?

Woodward?

haha, yeah you never know do you? But I don't think a new owner is guaranteed to be worse, which is what a lot of people seem to think. We just don't know.

But at what point does the devil you know become unacceptable? Surely there's a line?

Anyway, one day they will sell the club, wether that's in the next year or two or in ten years time you're going to have to face your demons eventually

 

[chrissivad]

Woodward?

He was leaving at the end of the year anyway, just brought forward to the end of the season

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Woodward?

Who apparently resigned because he only heard a short time prior to the announcement what Utd’s intentions were- he didn’t resign in recognition of his wrongdoing, but as a reaction to his bosses behaviour

I can’t see Enic selling for a very long time. If they value the club at north of a billion quid, there can’t be many buyers willing to take a punt with the initial cost
