For a while now there’s been unrest among a certain proportion of Tottenham Hotspur supporters towards the club’s ownership.
Tottenham fans have protested against Levy and ENIC and voiced their displeasure about the perceived lack of on-the-pitch ambition at the club.

Levy and his team have undoubtedly put Spurs in a strong position financially with their decisions over the last decade or so, but numerous top quality managers have come and gone from the dugout, with most leaving rather unsatisfied.
Therefore, when Amanda Staveley was linked with buying into Tottenham last summer, it caused a lot of excitement around N17.
Staveley was said to have raised around £500m through her PCP Capital Partners investment firm and was being heavily linked with Spurs.
Amanda Staveley wanted to bring Dougie Freedman to Tottenham
As it stands, it seems as if all options are still on the table for Tottenham when it comes to Staveley’s potential investment, but it could take years for something to shake out.That being said, new information from The Times would suggest that Staveley has just faced one blow to her potential plans for Spurs moving forward, should any investment happen.
According to the report, Staveley was keen on hiring Crystal Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman should she succeed in raising funds for a takeover at Spurs.
The former Newcastle co-owner and executive had clearly been impressed by Freedman’s work in south London, however, the Englishman would now be off-limits to Spurs.
Sadly for Palace, and potentially even Tottenham, Freedman is now set to join Saudi Arabia second division side Al-Diriyah as sporting director.
Of course, it’s worth noting that Freedman was also heavily linked with a role at Newcastle last season.
Dougie Freedman’s best signings at Crystal Palace
On their part, Palace are already looking at Freedman replacements, with one name already prevailing.Freedman has had a ton of success at Palace and since he returned to the club in 2017 it was his decision to change strategy in an attempt to bring younger players to the club.
Freedman is credited with securing deals for the likes of Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, Marc Guehi and Adam Wharton – a supremely talented quartet.
Of course, Tottenham made a bid for Guehi towards the end of the January transfer window, one that was quickly rebuffed.
And it’s worth noting that Spurs have been linked with Wharton too – perhaps explaining why Staveley might have been keen to cut out the middle man should she be successful in any investment at the club.

The protest pre Southampton will be pretty big I think. They won’t be able to ignore it unless they try and shut it down and handle it badly.
Doesn't sound like Enic to handle anything badly.
Takeover / Qatari / Poch speculation and leaks in the week before inevitable.
I wonder if the 'tiananmen square' geezer will make another appearance?

Just wondering what the boards ambition for club will be in summer going into next season. Go for the title, win a trophy? Or just make up the numbers again? Probably the latter as long as the cash rolls in. We need new owners.
Probably getting some unknown American rapper, an extra nfl game, maybe even some rugby league and a boxing match in during the next 12 months.
Return a healthy Ebitda and don't get relegated.
Don't forget hosting the world championships of some random sport like Futsal
I wonder what money making scheme Levy is working on today .
Bottled jars of his farts
They'll sell like hot cakes
Know a few on here that will fill up there basement with them
I was thinking a new aftershave
EDIT: Levy The Stench Of Failure
A new fragrance for men with no ambition
