The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

[Joe Bjorn Hotspur]

I think the thing people miss, is that even though a large chunk of our fan base feels like the club is a shit show and Levy is lucifer reincarnated, there is another chunk of fans who feel like things are ok...so-so but certainly better than they were pre-Enic.

I'm kind of in the middle but things are nowhere near bad enough for me to be out in front of the training ground with "Levy out" placards.

Don't get me wrong, I'll have a grumble about the fact we don't win anything whilst sitting in my seat in one of the best stadiums in Europe, watching a team of superstars managed by an elite manager playing Champions League football, but we're hardly Leeds 2004 here.

Fully appreciate we all have our different takes on how things should be done and we all of our own opinions on the board and Levy. Not disputing the fact that the club has grown financially since ENIC, European football, new ground & training ground and all the assets etc.

However, there’s just no accountability at all on the actual footballing decisions at our club, the financial success is one thing but the success on the pitch as well as off it with recruitment is farcical at best.

I will be fully behind those that protest and obviously change is very unlikely, however, fans have to let them know that we want our identity back at the very least.

 

[For the love of Spurs]

Feels like we are at the mad emperor stage.

 

[Goobers]

I didn't think the social media narrative and the mood could get much worse but the turn again since the Paratici announcement has been quite something.
This is not good.

Daniel Levy faces deepest crisis of Tottenham tenure as Fabio Paratici ban adds to chaos​

Paratici was already banned from Italian football but now his role at Spurs is in major doubt

ByMatt Law, FOOTBALL NEWS CORRESPONDENT29 March 2023 • 6:01pm
Daniel Levy’s Tottenham Hotspur crisis has deepened after managing director of football Fabio Paratici had his ban from football extended worldwide by Fifa – less than 24 hours after Spurs had released a video of him talking about the departure of Antonio Conte.
Paratici’s 30-month ban stretches across all football-related activities, administrative, sports or any other, at national and international level, which rules him out of playing any part in Tottenham’s search for a new manager, player transfers or contract negotiations with Harry Kane.
The decision was said to have thrown Spurs into chaos on Wednesday, with Paratici’s future now in serious doubt and lawyers thought to be studying his and the club’s options.
Sources now rate this as the worst crisis Levy has faced in his time as chairman of Tottenham. Both the men’s and women’s teams do not have a permanent manager, Paratici is banned worldwide, Kane’s future remains in doubt, the stadium still has no name and a season ticket price hike has been considered.
Telegraph Sport also reported that Tottenham had booked Beyonce in for an extra concert date at the club’s stadium without a licence and a source said: “This is by far the worst it has ever been for Levy.”
All of this comes after Tottenham’s accounts last month revealed that Levy had banked a pay rise of more than £500,000 and the club’s directors, among whom Paratici is named, earned almost £3 million more between them than the previous year.
A source added: “On top of all the problems that are obvious for everyone to see, staff morale levels are at an all-time low and Levy has isolated himself. It’s a mess.”
Julian Nagelsmann is the number one target to permanently replace Conte, but candidates will not be encouraged to make any sort of commitment to Spurs during the current turmoil.
It is understood that Paratici has 10 days to request the grounds of the Fifa decision, during which time the Italian could be allowed to work. He has the opportunity to appeal before the Fifa Appeal Committee.
But after that Paratici will have to wait for the outcome of that appeal and the Juventus appeal against the initial punishment the club and Paratici faced for alleged financial malpractice, which is due to be heard on April 19.
Confirming that Paratici’s ban had been extended across the globe, a Fifa statement said: “Fifa can confirm that following a request by the Italian FA (FIGC), the Chairperson of Fifa Disciplinary Committee has decided to extend the sanctions imposed by FIGC on several football officials to have worldwide effect.”
The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust released a statement in which they reiterated the need for the club to address fans over the direction and strategy of the club.
“This news [on Paratici] adds further to the extremely concerning situation at the club,” said the Trust. “No manager, no director of football and uncertainty around our star player and our end of season finish. Fans deserve to hear a clear statement of strategy from THFC so they can be reassured by the board on their plan to bring success and stability to the club.”
Paratici’s situation could be worsened by an Italian court case that has been postponed until May 10. The preliminary hearing of a criminal investigation into the capital gains and salary manoeuvres of Juventus and individuals who worked at the club, in which Paratici has been named among the defendants, started on Monday but was almost immediately put back by just over six weeks.
That means he could still face punishment even if Juventus' appeal on April 19 is successful and sources believe it is increasingly likely Paratici will leave his Tottenham role at the end of the season or sooner.
On Tuesday, less than 24 hours before Fifa confirmed his worldwide ban, Tottenham released a video in which Paratici supported the decision to part company with Conte and replace him until the end of the season with his assistant Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason.
Paratici also said that Tottenham need the club’s fans, many of whom are furious with the current situation, for the final 10-game run-in as Spurs try to cling on to a top-four place and prepare for next Monday night’s trip to Everton.
Other than facing anger from fans over the managerial situation and Paratici’s future, Levy will face a huge backlash if he goes ahead with proposals to increase the price of season tickets.
Telegraph Sport has been told that consideration has been given to announcing a sizable price increase for season tickets, which are already among the most expensive in the Premier League. Such a move would provoke anger from fans who have not seen the club lift a trophy for 15 years.
Spurs have insisted there has been no confirmation of a price rise and it now remains to be seen if the club are forced into a re-think given the crisis that has hit all levels of the club.

Should be an interesting watch tonight LWOS with guest Tim Vickery at 8pm. https://www.youtube.com/live/HxJqXscxf98?feature=share

 

[DarwinSpur]

Man you talk some shit. The clue is in the name, it’s not Mourinho-In. Most ENIC-Out ‘frothers’ know Mourinho was not about ambition, it was about ignoring the rebuild Poch was calling for.

Some Spurs fans don't agree with your assessment. It's a not a crime. Try being persuasive rather than angry all the time.

We are a circus. But a significant part of the negativity is from Conte. I have no doubt that with a manager who is fit for the rebuild that we need and truly wants to be here the situation would improve dramatically. Now we are just a pound land Chelsea.

 

[rossdapep]

Feels like we are at the mad emperor stage.

Fingers crossed this leads to a significant change.

Come on, Vivienne, get him removed.

 

[Trent Crimm]

When’s the last time you travelled home with an inner glow?

does catching Covid count ?

 

[tony0379]

"save us Vivienne, you're our only hope"

 

[Yiddo100]

In the incredibly impossible chance levy were to ever step aside, is the next chairmen selected from within the club already or can we get someone in from outside?

 

[Trent Crimm]

It’s going to need a coup de tat to remove him.

Snatch him, bag over head, in a van, drive him to the border and overnight him somewhere.

I bet Matt Law was touching himself while he was writing that.

No chance, she's got no power.

 

[Wick3d]

If there ever was a time to give Levy the boot, it is now. Will Joe take this opportunity for a fresh start? I doubt it.

 

[Ndombers]

I fucking hope he doesn't get his precious top 4 greedy little ****. Even with it he's do fuck all to improve us. Shit ****

 

[Snarfalicious]

Matt Law doing the Lord’s work.

 

[THE SPURSBOY]

There’s no chance a decent manager takes this on now. Look at all the terrible press we’re getting

 

[Johnny J]

There’s no chance a decent manager takes this on now. Look at all the terrible press we’re getting

We will absolutely get a top manager. We're one of the richest ten clubs in the world, we're in London, we have a world-class stadium and training facilities, and a squad full of internationals and some fantastic talent.

We'll get a new football director, a new women's manager and a new men's manager.

Yes, the press right now isn't good, but it wasn't when we sacked Nuno, and we went and got Conte.
