So how is the structure like? More bureaucracy? Who holds the moneybag? Who takes ultimate decisions considering sports and the sports finances.

I'm not an expert but by my understanding it's basically more of a generic corporate structure like most other top clubs have rather than Levy running it like a family business, being shit at delegating and trying to do everything himself.
Oh yeah I thought
CJJ
was joking.Levy had more day to day control over the club by the end than anyone in the PL had had for many years.
As much as the Lewis' seem like ignorant novices, a perfectly sensible recognition that the Levy dictatorship was archaic and outmoded is part of the whole thing.
Vinai both does not represent ownership in the way Levy did and also is much more distant from football matters. He has Levy's commercial portfolio, that's about it. Replacing AIA and getting a stadium naming rights deal is in his remit.
Coffee and cake, beggars belief why the players didn't run through walls after that.
Dude is a complete joker trying to offer post-workout cake to professional athletes. I'd suggest it sounds a lot more like sabotage, though...
Simon Jordan calling him a snivelling coward who you wouldn’t want running your football club.
He’s summarised this thread pretty well!

Harrington the bloke who didn’t even know how many players were in a football team I heard.
Vinai with his eliqution lessons he talks posher than Charlie
Well the fans should have made their feelings known and something would have been done. Can you imagine dippers, manure, goons, etc fans accepting it. It’s our own fault for not protesting inside and outside the ground. 20K in the south stand singing Vinai out his pos would be untenable.
Day 78 of calling him a cunt in this thread until he is sacked! Cunt!!
The guy used a Woolwich picture of himself when listed as a speaker somewhere.
The CEO of Tottenham Hotspur thought it was ok to use a Woolwich picture.
He doesn't get it.
Get rid.
(Even if you accept he didn't send the picture in personally, then it means his people are either inept and don't get it, or are happy to take the piss out of us.
Get rid!)

It's going to be very obvious in next 2 months if they mean what they say or if this is just another load of bullshit that they think fans will swallow and will buy them some time.
They must know that fans, and increasingly the media, have no patience or trust in them, so if they don't follow through this window then they will have nowhere to hide. Lange will likely be the fall guy this window but we all know where the real issue is and that's these owners.
Huge summer ahead
Yep, pretty obvious Lange will go at some point in the next 3 months and will rightly take a lot of the blame. This chancer will survive for now, but wont if there is another shit window incoming. Not for the first time they're talking big but think we're all a bit bored of words right now.Vinai Venkatesham interview: Tottenham need ‘complete reset’, says chief executive

Fattynomates
is seething.I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. There I said it.
It’s way too early to judge a CEO in one season when he inherited a fucking disaster from 25 years of Levy. Yes they waited too long to sack Frank but like Vinai says in the interview, there were probably many factors around why they made that decision when they did. The Tudor appointment was a gamble but when De Zerbi first turned us down we literally had nowhere to turn.
They got their man in eventually and he saved us.
Now it’s good he has said this window is critical.
So I expect us to make some big moves in the market. Let’s see how that goes.
I also like the fact that he complains the training ground resembles a 5 star hotel more than a performance centre. That’s exactly what many of us have been complaining about for years under Levy. Players were far too comfortable. It is great he has said that is changing from this summer.
It seems the club was in a far worse state than even some of us fans expected. It was never going to be solved in 9 months.
But please, get rid of Lange.
