The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

[chas vs dave]

Was shortshanks at the game?

Not sure. If he were to turn it around, they could make a film and call it the shortshanks redemption..

Literally who is defending him? I don't think there's a single person on this site that is anymore.

But I suppose having a more pragmatic reaction apparently is defending Levy now.

I'll have a go.... Levy is a success! Why would someone (Lewis) get rid
of a chairman that continually delivers? Record profits, valuable asset portfolio. Who's now set the club up to maintain profits as long as he get bums on seats, for any event he can....be it EPL, FA cup, League cup any uefa comp along with NFL, Rugby, boxing and concerts then F1..... He's a F**king genius, he weighed up the risk of continually investing in a team to win trophies and compete. Against infrastructure and diversifying the Entertainment available in the stadium....there was only one winner and it didn't need a .....

By the way I'm not defending Levy, just accepted what he is and what he's done to Spurs.... And I want him gone and Audere est Facere back to meaning something and reflecting our Football Club...... F**k that post didn't turn out like thought

I'D be ok if he didn't get involved in the FOOTBALL SIDE of things. Fed up with thinking he knows better than football people than they do.
As said above he's done lots for the club that are really good for the team etc but he has to climb abord transfers and selling of our deadwood. Just give the new bloke/D.O.F a budget at the end of the season for him to work with during the summer and the other transfer windows. Let them do what they can to make us winners.

The issue is he is hiring people like Munn and Paratici so even if he steps away from the football side he's influenced it greatly by his commercial/business based hires rather than hiring football people who fit our clubs DNA.

I remember Levy quoted saying one of the reasons for hiring Paratici was that he negotiated really well against Levy, sure a DofF should be good at negotiating but primarily they should be good at football strategy and aligning with and understanding a clubs DNA and Paratici has failed at that 100% and Munn seems to have zero experience of the PL so surely that is another dud hire.

Until Levy actually does step away completely and we have the right people on the football side then Levy's roots of business and profit will reign over us and we will continue to be a rudderless meandering ship with no sense of where we are going on the football side, it will continue to be mixed messages, scattergun and a mess.

Yes I can see the logic in your post.
I too fear for Levy being able to even let those he brings in do their jobs. Unfortunately, unless he can influence them, would be my worry with that.
If you understand what I'm saying. lol

The problem is if you limit yourself to PL-experienced board directors then you are probably either having to really really convince someone like Paul Barber, who may not wish to come, or go for someone who hasn't been great at their previous roles.

People like Edwards work at DOF level, because they work more in the actual footballing strategy rather than structure/finances, so they are not an option here.

I expect Munn, having worked for City group, to have studied and gained knowledge from his time there on how to build a succesful PL club.

He will certainly have observed models and gained insights.

Yep all fair points mate although Munn has worked for very small clubs as part of the City Group and the clubs he's worked for aren't in the slightest comparable to us.

I completely agree just PL experience is too limiting, I'd say PL and European football experience is key.

Tbh I don't know loads about Munn but I just can't see him being someone who has much knowledge to call upon in order to take Tottenham in the direction we all want in terms of playing style, DNA and ultimately success but I hope I'm wrong.

Another home game passes by, where nothing significant is done

 

[mil1lion]

Would love fans to stay behind and protest now. That way they don't impact the game but do it after. We have to do something surely.

 

[Swalien]

He's doing good at turning Tottenham Hotspur Football Club into a top brand. In ten or twenty years time you'll probably be able to buy a THFC football shirt in somewhere like tk max or primark and you will be able to reminisce as you tell your grandchildren that you remember when they used to have an actual football team before it was just a brand like those type of sailing tops you can buy from brands who used to do actual sailing years ago.

 

[Setzthree]

Even Levy gets it.

 

[hero]

Such a coincidence. Dele, VJ and N'Dombele finished with football after having signed the lucrative contracts with us.

 

[Danfunkel]

All of the current trouble we’re in is due to him, his poor recruitment and his lack of any semblance of a plan after Pochettino.

he took his eye off the ball during the stadium build (as he admits) and hasn’t gotten it back on since.

He simply has to go.

 

[tommo84]

One would hope that the downturn in form in the last 3rd of the season, resulting in our failure to qualify for European football of any sort, and the lost revenues directly resulting from that failure, will show the decision to go with Stellini for the last 10 games as the negligence we all knew it to be at the time, and that in turn will be enough to make Levy and the Board seriously consider his position.

That would be the case for any other club, and any other commercial enterprise. For us, nothing will likely happen.

Any anti Levy chants at end of game??

I think youll find that list goes on and on !

It appeared that music was blared the minute the game ended, so hard to tell from watching on the box. Say fans there today felt like pulling the stadium apart after today's debacle.
This thread has to be kept at the top every day, as nothing changes no matter what manager we get unless DL either changes his ways or steps aside and evidence suggests he will never change his ways.

Sanchez got more shit than Levy. There’s no appetite for protest. It’s a day at the panto.

 

[EssexSH27]

Has he made a good decision in years?

 

[coy-spurs1882]

Has he made a good decision in years his life?
