Imagine getting angry at something that hasn't happened yet in the future
Statistics
Redknapp panic hire , need someone to keep us up
Jol took over cos his plan was a disaster and Santini walked saying he had been sold a pack of lies
Conte looking to be a great hire , but off the back of the Nuno 8th in line embarrassing shambles
Poch a well researched , right man at the right time hire
Levy blindly stumbled into two hires, felt pressured into Conte as the crowd turned on him , those who deny Levy / ENIC out chants are in denial
Saying Man Utd and woolwich only had i great hire is ridiculous, they both stayed over 20 years
if we accept Levy had 4 great hires by his brilliant strategy , his strategy is terrible in not
keeping them.
Woolwich demise coincides with slimy David Dien leaving .
Who would have thought the the guy running the club day to day could make such a difference
OH I think I have already established that
No , but he is no shining beacon to be proud of eitherSo ENIC = Spurs "demise"????
Ok whatever.
No , but he is no shining beacon to be proud of either
I think he was good , but not part of Levy’s plan at the time , he stumbled on it when Santini called him out for being a liar ,
Fact is Santini turned out to be useless , so if Levy had his way we had useless Santini in charge , not BMJ

Told you.tAppoints Jose - Levy's fault
Appoints Nuno - Levy's fault
Appoints Paratici - desperate/fall guy/lucky/no credit/
Appoints Conte - desperate/luck/fan pressure/no credit.
1)He is a money man. In his world everything grows out of financial prosperity. A symptom of this is that as long as we balance the books and make a return for ENIC then he will never suffer like the fans. He can justify charging the higher rates for little footballing return.
Nobody has asked you to defend him , you choose to do so like a Spartan defending Greece , I will not tell you to stop , I expect the same....And despite the juice you're putting in, that's the extent of your sentiment here is it?
Thrilling stuff.
p.s. No-one's asked you to be proud of Levy anyway.
No I’m not, he walked out on Levy because he said he was lied to , far from the only person to accuse Levy of not being a straight shooter . He wasn’t sacked he told your beloved to do oneThis is drivel..... You're implying someone else sacked him and Levy wanted to keep him.

I think he is a vastly overrated chairman , you think he is not .

History clearly not your strong point.Nobody has asked you to defend him , you choose to do so like a Spartan defending Greece , I will not tell you to stop , I expect the same

1) Enic have taken zero £ out of the club so your view of "return for Enic" is misplaced.My main issue with Levy/Enic through the years is twofold:
1)He is a money man. In his world everything grows out of financial prosperity. A symptom of this is that as long as we balance the books and make a return for ENIC then he will never suffer like the fans. He can justify charging the higher rates for little footballing return. Missing out on Chapions League before and barely making it this time has perhaps woken him up.
2) Levy has had the belief that he knows about footballers like they are commodity assets. This has often caused him to make footballing decisions above the head of various managers. He needs to trust footballing people who aren't necessarily money people.
In football ownership we have to take the long view. If they learn the above lessons (which it looks like they may have thanks to Conte) then all is forgiven.
Ok so his wife gave him an ultimatum, let’s say Santini not Levy is a liar , although one has a rep and the other does notOr maybe Santinis wife gave him an ultimatum. you know the actual true story.
How many ones were rubbish for us?How many good managers have Liverpool had in the last 20 years 1, 2?
How many have Man United had? 1
How many have Woolwich had? 1
How many have have Everton or West Ham or Leicester ?
I won't include Chelsea or Man City for obvious doping reasons.
How many have we had? 3 Redknapp, Poch, Conte
I'd say on the time frame Levy has done alright. Sure we've had duds, who hasn't?
