When will our club be run by football people? I’ve just read the list of ins/outs and it’s a list of successful business folk, but I can’t see many with a pedigree in the beautiful game. Is it too much to ask?..

He’s never giving Jordan an interview, mate.
How about someone with 30 years experience in football administration, who has spent 24 years running a Premier League club, overseeing a transition from mid-table finish to breaking into and establishing Champions League football. In addition, managing the root and branch upheaval to state-of-the-art training facilities and a class-leading multifunctional stadium required to compete at that level.

I don't think it's for his own YouTube interview, SJ said it was filmed for a TV doc.
He's done interviews for Cambridge Union before, so I don't see why he wouldn't be doing it.
The problem we have is that Levy has built a 2 headed monster and the wrong head of the two is thriving . We are a football club first and foremost , but the football side of things is becoming a side-line to the corporate side of the club . It's fine Levy giving himself £4.5mil bonus if we're thriving in PL . But to focus all his energy into Hotels and the like whilst we are finishing 17th in the PL table is not on . No one would care if he paid himself £20mil bonus's if we were winning PL trophy , but we haven't . The football is becoming a bi-product of the commercial side of the club . There used to be a football club over there .
It is a confusing situation, though I wouldn't draw too expansive a conclusion from Lange and Frank both being Danish, not yet anyway.
Whereas the connectivity between Ange and Munn was much deeper and more obvious.
Two days running the Telegraph ( yeah I know ) has been pumping out how Lange & Frank used to share an office together.
The interview has already been done, I don't think it will ever see that light of day though now.
This was back in March...

No need to interview here, Danny boy!How about someone with 30 years experience in football administration, who has spent 24 years running a Premier League club, overseeing a transition from mid-table finished to breaking into and establishing Champions League football. In addition, managing the root and branch upheaval to state-of-the-art training facilities and a class-leading multifunctional stadium required to compete at that level.
Hearing where? Cos most of the stuff on social media is drek…
Well, here’s hoping it’s true. At that valuation Levy might just slide into the billy club himself.
Why does that matter? We have hired several layers of football directors and so on to handle the footballing side.
The club can't really win with that. Lots of anti-levy sentiments are "get him away from the football side", so he does, then it's "why is he neglecting the football side? where is he?"
Serious point being made - why is it so schizophrenic like that? And why do people still insist simultaneously that he's not paying attention to football, and yet apparently micromanaging and interfering at the same time.
I'm quite happy with him, as I have always been, because I 100% believe there's not a single human being available that would have been able to self-fund us all the way to where we are now, commercially, financially, and off the pitch. More importantly, he doesn't seem to be at all a bad person - even if people are constantly trying to make out like he's "despicable" or whatever. Bloke has done a lot more for the club than a long list of players and managers we're not allowed to talk about in the same manner. He and the likes of the Oystons are very very far apart. Certainly him and Sugar, who no one seems to ever criticise despite running the club into the ground on both a footballing and financial level.
A price below Levy's valuation. Surprised he went ahead if true. But good news nonetheless if true.
From what I've heard lange has had a hand in alot of good things since he joined. He is the one that has really led and improved the data led approach we are now taking which has led to alot of our young gems being signed such as bergvall and gray.
I'm a fan personally and he's defo one of the ones I'd trust out of the bunch.
If we were really that close to a sale would Levy really be making any fire and hire decisions right now?
Unless the rumours are true and he's almost gone, with Amanda Staveley actually making the decisions.
If they value it at say £5bn ENIC hold about 85% so what just over £4bn, a £3.4bn purchase would give them majority ownership and that might be all they want.
