Yeah I saw it on TV during a news item about Levy leaving.

Daniel Levy

Times not plausible. They're confused, thinking of it like a coup when there's no need. It seems likely he would have known some time in advance and that a dignified exit was planned.
And they usually get their business done early in the transfer window!
I think my point has been made.
Any given chant is not going to impact anything. No more than our cheers or songs will help a team win, or keep a player from leaving.But if the fans keep chanting against it there'll be no need for regulation.
I'm being pedantic but Change for Tottenham pissed me off yesterday. I need to let it go!
It’s not about individual acts. Rather the culmination of years of grumbling and voiced disenchantment, to the point that the club realised a change of direction was needed.
Levy had achieved everything he possibly could. Every avenue has been trodden, save one - significant sporting success.
Gone the day before the club's birthday. Not a coincidence. It's like the club has been reborn.
That I saw a sign yesterday...after an event took place?
Genuinely funny stuff reading folk clinging to nurse for fear of worse. Lol.... We are a football club won two cups in twenty two odd years. We finished last season fourth from bottom. We've been blessed with balon dor level footballers prehaps six times in this period an won nothing. Built sides that accumulated the most points over 100 games during periods with zero to show for it.
The company that owns us has a world class entertainment complex and impressive real estate portfolio but fans of the team have nothing to be frightened of at all. Daniel Levy had become a hindrance and his strategic vision tied as it was to a child like belife in football governance was boarder line magic thinking ( Daniel you were trying to activate 'release clauses' with Evangelos Marinakis. That he's sat opposite you tells you all you need to know about governance). The game moved on and left him behind, it happens to everyone. I hope he'll be back within 5 years to celebrate our league win.

And I theorise that the change only happened due to some reason at the upper echelons of the business management.
Yes there have also been chants. Do I think they contributed to the decision? No. Why do I think no? Because the chants have been there at different levels - both quieter and louder - for year after year.
To stake any claim that these chants were contributory is nonsense. In my opinion.
But again, I'm only really arguing this because of the pathetic statement from Change For Tottenham yesterday.
If I can't let it go soon I'll be starting my own movement of 12 men - 'Change For Change For Tottenham'.
Sure. Correlation is not causation.
But perhaps the underlying grievance that led to the chants contained the same sort of currency that influenced the business decision.
All reporting appears to suggest that the decision was solely down to sporting performance as opposed to commercial.
To say that the club never listens to booing is to say they never feel their hearts rise at cheers.
You just keep proving my point.
I'm boring myself so will give you a like and move on.
International breaks are boring - even with a Levy exit!
The mental levels of people who are thanking Levy for our most baron spell since pre 1950's is insane.
There are no cups for financial prudence.
We don't pay to sit in the boardroom at the end of the financial year.
There is no open top parade for fans when we announce profits.
I don't care that Scholer nearly sent us belly up. Nor that Sugar hated football.
They both at least wanted Spurs to win on the pitch above all else.
They weren't interested in making us a financial powerhouse.
Could you imagine Levy, doing with Eze, what Scholer did with Gazza?
Scholer broke the British transfer record and threw the kitchen sink at Gazza to turn United down and come to Spurs.
Levy heard Woolwich were in for Eze, shat the fucking bed and withdrew from the race.
Sugar, sensing danger with a 12 point deduction, went and spent £7.8m on Klinsmann, Popescu and Dumitrescu to stave off the threat of relegation. For reference, Blackburn won the title that season by spending £6.8m on Sutton, Slater and Kenna. They were seen as big spenders under Jack Walker.
What would Levy have done? Probably not a lot.
It's still ENIC pulling the strings and they were pulling Levy's strings too.
It's great Levy has gone as he has been holding us back for years because many clubs don't want to deal with him. ENIC still need to go imo but despite what was said in the statement yesterday I believe getting rid of Levy was removing an obstacle blocking a buyout

Supposed to be at a party tomorrow night and have been thinking how I can watch the Spurs V West Ham match all week while the party is on.
Of course but had Barcelona spannered a fortune on Eriksen instead of Coutinho, we'd have been better off.
Yes and no.
It might not be the decisive factor but a truly intense atmosphere can give a team a home advantage and be part of the result, in the same way a narrative driven by protest can help give Lewis’s children the ammunition to fire the bullet. Narratives are powerful things, Kane left the country and the fans that loved him plus the huge opportunity to be the all time scorer so he can pick up a trophy, any trophy. If as reported it was Lewis’s children driving the move the protest and dissatisfaction of the fans will have helped them.
Regarding change of direction fully agree, Levy is good at certain things but there is nothing left to achieve for the things he does well, it just highlights what he doesn’t do well.

You can't prove they had no effect any more than he can they did. As for change for Tottenham all we can conclusively say is their name and the last 36hrs line up rather nicely. As Tacitus said success has many fathers failures an orphan..
