Anyone thinking this is the end of discourse between the Levy inner's and outers think again....I can envisage the fallout to carry on for at least another 25 years.....

Mate, I go back a long way supporting this club and can tell you that nothing will change regarding being "hateful cunts" about our own players.

Many Spurs fans seem to have a need for a scapegoat, a player they can hate on and barrack from the stands. It's been a thing as long as I've been a supporter, going back to the early 70's.

Levy leaving won't change that mindset one iota.

Sadly you’re right and I can remember the barrage of abuse towards players like John Pratt, Terry Fenwick and David Howells!

What made it worse was that it was during games when we wanted to win!

When I and a few others that I was with had a go back we got the standard response of

“we have paid our money so we’re entitled to say what we like”!

Not true fans imo

Really? I believe we've spent something in the region of quarter of a Billion over the last 5-6 years, with each Summer window's expenditure being pretty much the same.

The calibre of player may have changed somewhat, though I don't think this is the case either as the likes of Romero, VDV etc all fall/fell into the bracket of young and highly rated talent. We've done exactly that with Simon's, not so much with Kudus though he's still young, bought Takai etc, so I'm not really seeing much difference between previous windows and this one, particularly where the sum spent is concerned.

He may have spent 250 million over the last 5 years.

But we had European player lists with 4/5 goal keepers on it.

Just 1 LB/RB, like last season.

How many players left on frees, 4 this year alone.

Gave Doherty away because we loaned out more players than we should.

Levy spent, but it wasn't organised, targeted, and never really gave the team the depth it really required.

Not mention a lot the money spent was on opportunities, bargains and players near end of contracts.

Bloated our squad. And filled our limited wage bill with chaff and mediocrity.

It is obviously fine to be critical. But a lot of people skip the critique part and jump straight to the abuse. Which is not okay.

BREAKING NEWS

Leading ITK leaks the following:

In light of Daniel Levy leaving Tottenham Hotspur and talk of an imminent takeover, we have received inside information that a consortium are leading the chase in taking over this historic club.

The consortium is led by Spurs fanatic Mark Wahlberg along with other famous A list Spurs fans that include Jude Law, Michael McIntyre and Adele.

We also understand that upon the takeover, they will swiftly move to replace Johan Lange as they feel his data led approach is not proving fruitful.

Our sources say that he will be replaced by Danny Rose as they believe his unique Google approach is unprecedented and believe he would find better players moving forward before other clubs have an opportunity to sniff out these players.

I’ve seen the list as well and Adele appears 17 times, along with the names mentioned are John Wayne, Groucho Marx and Adolph Hitler.

Manc were offering peanuts for one of the world's best strikers... Not forgetting shafting us over Walker.

Why would we sell to Chelsea?

The problem with Levy was that he always had to win, he couldn't meet half way. He burned his bridges, coz he got to full of himself, low balling clubs, like did for Trossard, mention earlier.

Haggling over every little detail and it become annoying and frustrating.

Not saying he was wrong, but apparently it was the way he went about things that pissed everyone off.
Refused to even talk to City about Kane, threatened legal proceedings against Liverpool and United over Keane and Bervatov.
All the late window shenanigans, changing deal structures after figures agreed, etc etc.
There can't be many clubs left that haven't had a sour taste after dealing with him.

Hopefully we see signs of a different direction as early as January.

This i've been saying for over a year now. Levy has painted this club into a corner where players and managers don't want to come here anymore.

Hopefully that will change now.

Slot turned us down because he would have seen Conte not getting what he wanted and thought "fuck that". He wouldn't have chosen to stay at feyenoord over us, or would have known Liverpool would be interested a year later. He chose to not trust Levy because of his track record, and our last few managerial hunts have been torturous due to this. Hopefully now we change that and start following through on those promises

Tottenham are controlled by ENIC International Limited, who own around 86.58 per cent of the club. Levy and his family held a 29.4 per cent stake in ENIC, which made him a minority shareholder in the club, while the Joe Lewis family trust owns a controlling 70.6 per cent.

So Levy owns 28.4 of ENIC, who own 86.58 of THFC, so how much of THFC does Levy own?

Why would Airfixx be gone? He has an interest in football, he does at least engage in lots of discussion around the actual football, players, matches, reffing decisions etc - can't say the same about some of his main 'opponents' here. Would seem more appropriate they would finally fuck off, but of course that would be wishful thinking, it's only Levy not ENIC gone, so they will still have plenty to aim their vitriol (and often complete lies) at, so I'm sure nothing will change in that respect. Maybe perhaps they will finally at least get over their obsession with him being bald (something which I've never understood when used in the insults - is it evil to be bald? I'm not bald myself, but I've often wondered how any bald forum members feel when Levy's baldness is so often a target for their anger... Almost childlike in it's logic... :/ ).

For me, Levy departs with far more good done than bad. Of course he made mistakes - I honestly don't believe there is a single poster on this forum who would say otherwise, even the main ones accused of loving him have many times openly critcised him on some things - but we are in a far better place than we were 25 years ago, which when you consider the cheating that a couple of clubs have done to get ahead, is pretty incredible and something we should all be very grateful for.
