Fucking incredible isn't it.
The meanest man in football for a quarter of a century.
Apart from when it came to his own remuneration.
I'd be amazed if he didn't get a visit off Marley's ghost on Christmas Eve.
is this another one of those "everything that tottenham did whilst he was here is Daniel Levy except for the good stuff" paradigms
No mate.
2 trophies and the football version of Dave and Buster's are on the miser.
I’m not a fan of Levy as far as his stewardship of the club goes but do you know anything about what The Tottenham Hotspur Foundation does?
You’re probably a fan of David Lammy. Why don’t you see how he regards it?
(in fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he instigated the award).
You should retire undefeated after that comment Ma'am!Another one who had to leave the Club to get a medal!
Post of the year ! Well played Mrs P.Another one who had to leave the Club to get a medal!
You do realise he was more than handsomely rewarded to do good stuff . So doing the odd good thing in 25 years is nothing he should be lauded for .
Sure - the world is a wonderful kind place because of all the millionaires doing good stuff. Weird how Tottenham is a deprived area, what with all the other millionaires in the area chipping in.
It's bonkers that some of you withhold any credit at all for things that are not at all default or normal.
Companies the size of Spurs / ENIC have pressure to do CSR , very difficult not to . He showed his colours imho when he tried to furlough the staff during Covid .
Sounds like you have a pathological, not a logic, issue here
Maybe a while back , I’m pretty chilled since he got shitcanned
Honestly if people can’t separate the footballing Levy and what he’s done for the Tottenham and the local area against all other government help, both local and National then that’s on them. He’s the man who had to have an interview in the evening standard appealing to Khan for any mayoral help with regeneration in the area. They just weren’t interested. I dread to think of what Tottenham would be like without the club there driving on improving it. Like it or lump it, Levy was a large part of that.
apparently it's not altruistic if you're already being paid a wage though and working for a big company

I mean he was doing it to benefit the club too of course, which in turn pays him. But the level of regeneration had to go beyond that. People are ignorant generally.
Imagine if it was just old Joe owning the club and hiring someone to run it, like a Vinai or similar. I just can't see that we'd have barely any of the "detail" that has gone into it all. Ex-players being hired and kept around, the foundation, the college, the touches put into the stadium etc. but yet, I get the feeling people think that's all normal and standard.
it reminds me of some of the jobs I had when I was younger - decent places with good benefits, but I thought it was all standard stuff and that it was as shit place to work, but later on I found out it was actually a good employer and I had underappreciated it. Stuff like 'only' getting a £500 bonus at christmas.
Never had one since! My current employer hasn't even paid me for this month, yet
Like most people, Levy did some great stuff, some good stuff, some not-so-good stuff and some awful stuff. There's no doubt that the Club provides employment and opportunities for the locals.
Does he deserve a CBE? Probably just as much as any other recipient; the whole honours scheme is outdated nonsense anyway, IMO.
