Ed Woodward is gone, so look who comes in at no 2.

“The 58-year-old ranked as the highest-paid Premier League executive last year, earning a £4m salary and pocketing a £3m bonus for overseeing the construction and opening of Spurs' new stadium.”

Do you think Richard Arnold is paid less than Ed Woodward? Man City also don't publish their figures, but do you think Ferran Soriano is in that job for the love of the game? Also will be interesting to see what Boehly-era figures look like at Chelsea when they are eventually released. The bonus you are referring to in that link was paid four years ago when the stadium opened btw - he doesn't get that every year.

Again - not that I care to stand up for Levy but his salary is a long way down my list of gripes with the man or the reasons why we are struggling.

We have to take into account how badly we have we’ve been buying aswell. I’m hoping paratici can turn this around but over the 5 years we’ve spent big money on

Ndombele
Lo Celso
Bergwijn
Emerson Royal
Reguilon
Docherty (hit and miss)
Sessegnon
Sanchez

how many of those would honestly get into a top 6 team? We’ve recruited so so bad.

Not that Levy is in my good books right now, but I'm almost certain this is a fake quote and yet people see this kind of thing on the internet and re-share it anyway. And I agree with the poster above that compared that World of Hotspur article to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion - it's hysterical rambling that completely overlooks/ignores important context whilst referencing certain "events" that may or may not have happened as gospel.

So to answer the original question - one thing people could really start doing if they want change is to actually focus on truths and facts when it comes to Levy bashing, not fabricating stories just to try and "prove" that he's a bad fit for the club, as this just kills credibility to the arguments against him.
The quote originates from FT, so what do you base your fake quote theory on? You yourself start by saying something false then talk about truths, facts and credibility ?

Google is your friend. Also I’ll ask again what do you base your fake quote theory on, can you share a link?

Because the only results Google shows for the quote are from ENIC Out accounts on social media. But if there is an actual link that you can share to some sort of interview or article with the quote then I'll stand corrected.

You don’t need to see direct quotes and instead look at the way our football club is run under Enic. It’s more of a financial institution.

I’ll go to the bother of finding you the newspaper article I read on it if you can explain your theory on why it’s false other than just plucking something from your ass whilst putting others down for plucking something from their ass, what’s the foundation of your statement, links?

Institution not a
Mate it is a direct quote from Levy, It was an FT interview, Archibald&Crooks likes to post it every few months to remind people, he’s criticizing people not being factual whilst not being factual himself.

I know it’s a direct quote, but some people refuse to believe it. I’m just saying how the quote follows the model of how the club is run.

Mate I hear you, even without the quotes it’s clear what ENIC are and aren’t about.

Because Google does not return any article of the sort and it seems like a bizarre thing for an owner of a football club to say to the press, even if he does think that way privately. But again - if you have said article that you can share then we can put this to bed

So you based your ‘almost certain fake’ because you hadn’t read the article and had your own bias yet went on to lambast others for not focusing on actual truths, perhaps take your own advise?

I think everyone should read this article as it’s a cold hard wake up call. Oh, and this pic epitomises everything.

TBF to Rumpelstiltskin, he said that on buying Glasgow Rangers. I've posted it on here more than once as it gives a rare and from the horses mouth insight into the thinking and philosophy behind it all. So again, the bloke who wrote the article lets himself down by sprinkling too much bullshit around. The quote alone is enough, fuck me if people read that and still think there's room for doubt as to ENIC's motivation then there's no helping them, there's no need to gild the lily.

Here it is, as originally written, again

No - I based it on Googling it and seeing no results

So why would the model change for Tottenham. It wouldn’t. We are just a bigger cash generator. I think it’s time everyone starts to wake up and get together to force this parasite out of our club. He can’t ignore mass mass protests. The fans will win eventually.

So criticize those believing what they read as fact but you’re ok to believe something as fact because you didn’t read it. Btw I have a newspaper article on it, I googled it… But I think Archibald has sufficed here, good night.

Interesting and surprised that he did say that publicly. But - as suspected - the meme is fake as it attributes it on his purchase of Tottenham instead of Rangers, am sure nobody is surprised to hear that Daniel Levy was not on the terraces at Ibrox as a young boy.

For the avoidance of doubt - I am not arguing that Levy and Lewis are not in this for the money - clearly they are. But this whole thread has been an interesting view into not only how misinformation spreads on the Internet but also how people double down on things they know not to be true or that are twisted in such a way, just because it helps validate their viewpoint...

I think you need to stop being such a smart ass. Just because the quote wasn’t directly at Tottenham you get a clear perspective on how Levy sees football. Why would it be any different with Tottenham than it is with Glasgow, salvia Prague and others? We are one of the biggest cash cow clubs in the world, which is a business man’s dream. Great for the chairman, terrible for the supporters.

More fuel to burn Levy & ENIC, the latest money league from Deloitte, Spurs wage to revenue ratio is 47% as opposed to Chelsea 71%, Daniel think you can offer higher wages to attract better players.
