Levy's an accountant by trade and at heart. As a businessman yourself I'm sure you'd agree that accountants can work wonders on turning businesses around in the short-term, or as a junior deputy in an organization lead by people with actual vision; but their world is ruled by dollars and cents, not understanding or valuing people and their contributions. If you give an accountant power over a business and leave them in place for long enough they will inevitably start chipping away at the critical "load-bearing structures" of a business and its very reason for being.
Levy did a pretty good job structuring the company and finishing the stadium to make it attractive as a buy-out target, but they dug their heels in and demanded too high a price, now the club has existed in maintenance mode for the past 8 years without a competitive administrative structure and footballing operation capable of delivering results. You can only expect people to work wonders with nothing for so long before they break down, give up, or leave for greener pastures elsewhere.
Bottom Line: We're going to continue paying for Levy's mistakes for a while yet. Coaches can't work wonders alone without a structure that's designed to support them, which we don't have!
Fuck off, he's still overwhelmingly responsible for this entire mess.Reckon we could get half the site to sign this form now

It's a double sided coin.
The 'entire mess' was inevitable. We all knew once Kane and Son left, Spurs no longer had any world class players. There simply aren't any world class players available. We see average players moving for 70m+. Spurs failed to prepare for this moment - they should have spent time developing young players behind the scenes - but left it too late. Moore, Bergvall, Grey, Xavi, Vlahovic a few years away from their prime. There is no quick fix, but they have signed a really good crop of young players.
On one side
- New stadium
- Massive increase in revenues
- Got to Champs League Final
- Europa Trophy
- Multiple semi finals
- Many seasons competing in Europe
- Adhered to FFP, and instrumental in fighting for financial transparency of clubs
Yet, on the other
- Crippled ability to sign world class players with a salary cap way below competitors
- Haggling on deals caused spurs to lose out on key players
- Repeatedly falling out with coaches
- The super league fiasco
- Was taken for a ride by Mendes & Partici
- Burnt many bridges with other clubs due to his penny pinching
- Spurs academy has produced nothing
The mess of being the 9th richest team in the world, oh no we are doomed!
There's this bloke called Harry Something or other...
Anyone remember when this place was on fire when Levy said that winning was hard?
Folk screaming that we should replace him with a proper Chairman like Paul Barber.
Guess who has just sent an email to a complaining fan that includes the quote “We are playing in the toughest league in the world, and we’ve just lost to one of the world’s best teams. Unfortunately, at this level, winning isn’t guaranteed, and neither is progress in a straight line.”
I’m not giving any clues. Ok, one. An anagram of his name is Plau Braber.
Maybe the guys that run our football clubs know more than we do?

Nah...me Im keeping recipts on people who were mean about Daniel Levy... what was it? you must know six nine months ago? When they are so mentally online they don't see the self own. Scary AF....

I really care what you think. Honestly. Please go on.
I don't think Levy did, or he wouldn't have had to pick up the old p45.
The hilarious thing about this is that he never actually said it, people were just straight up lying and perpetuating the myth that he said that just so they could use it as a stick to beat him with
He did do the job for 25 years. Pretty sure he’s infinitely more capable than all of us put together.I don't think Levy did, or he wouldn't have had to pick up the old p45.
Good commercially, football wise, God awful. The root cause of the mess we find ourselves in.

I don't think anybody who wanted Levy out did get it wrong. They just wanted ENIC out with him or considered him to be a major part of ENIC. Levy didn't even last a season under the scrutiny of his own "wanting to win the league" speech in the summer. Even the managers who said they wanted to win things lasted longer than a few months.
All Levy did when he sacked Ange is put pressure on himself to win the league. All ENIC did by sacking Levy was put pressure on ENIC to sack themselves if they were not more successful in recruitment and wage spending.
