I'm not attending now. Was appalled by Roma. And that's actually one of our best performances recently!!!

I’m always up for sitting on the sofa instead of actually doing something , you might be onto something
Looking at what United and Liverpool are doing, in terms of exploiting current supporter loyalty, Levy's methods are the new benchmark.
Yes, benevolent dictators can pop up in family based power systems. It’s one reason I’m a monarchist. Though occasionally the next in line can be worse. Don’t know much about Vivienne.
That’s basically that happened to Woolwich.
Players' wages 24-25 below (one of the various sources flying around). Liverpool are the outlier. But however you construct the comps, we "should" be spending £150m - £180m pa on wages. And once you strip out players to make way, that amounts to 7 or 8 elite first XI level players we "should" have, but don't.
1. Manchester City – £201,864,000
2. Manchester United – £185,580,000
3. Woolwich – £172,146,000
4. Chelsea – £171,210,000
5. Liverpool – £128,804,000
6. Tottenham – £104,806,000
7. Aston Villa – £104,676,000

I am going to show Levy
Next game I will go to Tottenham but not use my already paid for season ticket and enter the stadium as a protest . Mind you it’s fucking cold though so I will pop in the shop and buy a hat , scarf, Gillet and coat. Then to kill time when the game is on will grab a coffee and book up some Go Karting , stadium tour and the skywalk on line as I have been meaning to do all of those for ages .
Fuck with me Levy , well I’ll show you not to mess with the Vanderlays

And there we go. Apathy wins again. Complain all you like on here, but just know that doing nothing but that will lead to nothing changing. Even the most rabid ENIC Outer on here won’t attend demonstrations, but will attend matches whilst they are on. He even spends money on merch and experiences. It’s fucking farcical.
Whilst people post on here several times a day that they are demanding change, but then do absolutely fuck all else, there’ll always be a struggle to make changes.
I've enjoyed all the posts on this page but can't react to all of them that would be uncool.
However in answer to the comment about Vivienne I read an article years ago that said she is the true fan but I presumed she would take over when the old crook left just like your story above but it appears not.

I don't think they're looking to sell. If they were going to sell, it would have been when ground was broken for the new ground. Before the spent a fuck ton of money and accrued debts for it. They could have sold up for a massive profit and handed those costs to the new owner.
The fact they didn't tells me the plan is to just use the stadium to make as much money from as many sources as possible. It's a more stable income than selling up for a lump sum.
There are always personal factors that come into it as people get older/die. Could be Levy / Joe's kids actually want to do something else with the cash. I live in hope. I do agree that even with the current cost/income ratio, there is possibly a bit more mileage in pumping up the valuation with further development, though most of that work is done.
You do realise that’s most people with regard to everything. Hate the way the country is run , don’t join a political party . Many don’t even vote, something they have to do once every five years . Pissed off with the water companies , don’t protest outside Thames Water offices and pay their bills promptly . Fed up with the trains , buses etc , still pay their fares and don’t protest , the list is endless .
People moan and do nothing it’s human nature . Maybe you are that unusual person who moans about pot holes and then go full Rod Stewart and fill them in yourself , if so fair play, but I doubt it.

There may be personal factors. But ENIC is a company, not just Joe Lewis. There's a board, there's employees, there's business decisions.
I bet Levy's share is even a business of some sort.
It's a company essentially owned by two guys. Or one guy and a trust (read, the other guy, and his kids). The "Board" is just for "good/legal" governance, including the fact that it's necessary to demonstrate you're running the thing legitimately when it's time to sell up.
I haven’t spent a penny on anything Spurs since 2006 , solely because of ENIC . If we all did that they’d have fucked off years ago
Fair play to you , but I lack the indefatigable spirit to choose not watch my team for 18 years .I haven’t spent a penny on anything Spurs since 2006 , solely because of ENIC . If we all did that they’d have fucked off years ago
Fair play to you. We need more supporters who never go to games and never buy merchandise.I haven’t spent a penny on anything Spurs since 2006 , solely because of ENIC . If we all did that they’d have fucked off years ago
I understand that very well. But I was purely pointing out that it shouldn’t be that difficult to start a protest group. If the feeling is there for change.
A good start would be non stop chants of "we want Levy out" for 90 minutes from all sides of the ground.
It doesn't put anyone out. They don't have to get there early or stay late. Or go somewhere else on different days.
Ok I think I have the perfect protest
We all shave our heads and paint Bald Cunt on our heads . I like this because as a baldy I don’t have to shave my head and I already have it permanently tattooed on my head after a drunken night in Majorca
