If Levy is a chairman then he allows his CEO to choose the direction, like Barber at Brighton.

Problem with Levy is that he's chairman and CEO and most of us want him to step away from the CEO role.

Of course, the Chairman is always going to communicate the thoughts and ideas of the board to the CEO but the title Chief Executive Officer hints that they should be executing their own plans. If things are going well, board members are usually more than happy to stay quiet and earn money from success.
You'd only allow the CEO to choose the direction if you buy his pitch. The reality is that the vision of any company's direction comes from the Chairman, who then tasks the CEO with making it happen.

How do you know the direction chosen for Brighton came from Barber and not Bloom? Credit Barber for where they are by all means, but was it his vision or Bloom's?

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that the title of CEO means they should be executing their own plans, what if they're 180 degrees different to the Chairman's vision? They don't operate in isolation you know, those sort of decisions have to be ratified. This isn't the CIA!
 
Just snooped on SC and saw some bloke post this. Even tagged A&C. God rest his soul.


Hopefully not alone in saying this, but having had a busy week at work and coming onto SC to hear about manager news, there’s literally 50 pages of content a day in this thread. It’s gotten to the point where this thread is nigh unreadable and nearly impossible to follow.

Woukd it be possible to create a read-only thread for manager/DOF news, similar to the transfer ticker we have in the summer?

I am sure there’s widespread interest in documenting the sourced content and news around this. Because right now this thread is basically useless for following actual news.

He’s complaining that people are talking about the next manager in a thread about the next manager?
 
Levy has said publicly that we need to play with "Spurs DNA" attacking football, front foot, that sort of thing.

German pressball (Steidten) and Posession-based Pep-ball (Slot) are both attacking philosophies, but they are very different and require different types of players and collective strengths in the squad. Our current squad does not map up to those philosophies in the same way, the needs going forward would be different.

Levy needs football people in control of how those pieces would fit together. That's where he's stepping out of his expertise.
Sorry but any system or DNA we try and promote is complete and Utter Horse Dung. There are no fans who likes Real Madrid, Athletico Madrid , Inter Milan, (Mo or Conté) Chelsea, Sevilla style football. But there were many fans who Loved watching them lifting the trophies that 'Anti-Football', Route One, Defensive, Conté Ball, José Ball.......(call it what you want) , had brought them. Forget the DNA Bullshit. You've been sold a whole lot of crap. Leicester won the League on 1-0, 2-1, etc victories under Claudio Ranieri. Was it any less Amazing for Leicester fans. They didn't give a crap how they won, they won, that's all that mattered.

I rather have No DNA and win a league, than have Levy Spurs DNA.

Oddly enough, I agree with the gist of your post. :eek:

But 'No DNA' doesn’t equal trophies. I can't stand watching us lose games without showing any intent. It would be easier to stomach if we were willing to die on the sword
 
Must have a sporting director and new coach in mind when season ends. Unless our board havent got a clue cos of their rigid demands. I reckon it's the latter. Hearing dier getting a new contract really concerns me with how were run tbh.

No one winning things plays that way now. Even Serie A the last remaining bastion of that football has been blitzed by an attacking Napoli.

Besides what happens when that football isnt delivering trophies? The last 4 seasons with us gives you the answer. Bored unhappy fans who can barely be arsed to go to matches or even switch on the box to watch a game.

Its not Levy Spurs DNA, its just Spurs DNA or should be. It dates back to our push and run side at the start of the 50s. Levy has sabotaged it with the last 3 appointments just as Sugar did with Gerry Francis and George Graham. Those sort of appointments will never work for us.
