Or, as we now refer to him, Postacogwho?
We shall see…..Well we’ll see won’t we!
He might have been well remunerated, but neither him or ENIC have taken substantial dividends out of the club like the Glazers when they quite easily could have.
Their investment has grown but so has the club.
‘It’s a disgrace how badly he has run us’Do me a favour!
I think we have under achieved. Where as others think we should be grateful for what we have achieved. It’s a waiting game now
Because we were discussing our ownership under ENIC. & Joe was a huge factor for most of this period. He is a morally bankrupt nasty billionaire. To pretend we had good moral owners is wrong.
Hoard billions & give a bit of it away to charity/community doesn’t wash with me. Lewis has billions! He could do so much more for the local community rather than stacking up billions he doesn’t need.
It is a classic ploy by the rich to feel better about kids starving to death whilst they hoard crazy amounts of wealth. It’s similar to sportswashing & works on certain people. False philanthropy I think.
Unless you are going to argue the Lewis family deserve & should have billions whilst there is extreme poverty & many starve to death? We aren’t going to win each other over so should probably let it go!

No it is the same person. Hair dye (or the lack of it) and the aging process account for the difference.So who is this Vivienne Lewis pictured with Levy at the Burnley game , did she also attend the Bournemouth game that caused her to age about 30 years in your photo, think your photo may be Jane Lewis Joe's wife.
Daniel Levy Tottenham departure part of big plans for club from owners
It has been a huge summer of change at the north London club with the chairman's departure set to be the final part of the jigsawwww.football.london
Worse. I think it was on Lewis' yacht. Fucking idiot.
And I thought Levy was an astute businessman...And 3rd highest in the list of clubs with debt..

Looking for investors is something a non-executive chairman typically does. They also take on special projects and evaluate organizational structures with an idea toward making structural changes. I'm surprised that some of the media types didn't see what was coming just by the fact one had been appointed.
Exactly. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that they thought Levy was doing a great job for the past 20 odd years, however once the stadium was built, the Lewis family expected us to kick on on the pitch.
When that didn't happen, they delved deeper into the why and realised that the problem was Levy.
The biggest point of it all though, is Joe Lewis may well have been delighted with how Levy did things. But Vivienne is her own person, and now she has the influence, she clearly felt that Levy was handicapping us, not helping us, to achieve sporting success.
The question now is, will we push on.
I am sure there will be a couple of big signings next summer. I'd be shocked if there isn't. Surely they will want to sign post this new era with breaking the transfer record.
What will be interesting though, is to see how the salary to turnover ratio changes over time, that will be the biggest indicator if things really have changed.
Our debt is basically irrelevant. The Interest is tiny and the loan is long term. Unread that it gets paid back after like two home games a year.And 3rd highest in the list of clubs with debt..

Judging from their words, I think money is going to be spent now. As you say, Joe is one person, who seen the club as an investment, and probably thought Levy was marvellous. The kids certainly don't seem to think that way. It would've been very easy to keep him on after the EL too, but they've seen enough.
I still think we'll be sold in the not so distant future, but having them invested in the short term is brilliant for us and the club.
I'm actually excited for a change.
A pretty well balanced post if you don't mind me saying so...during a period of thinking and driving this fine morn whilst listening to the radio where we are the topical subject matter I found myself considering that very thought i.e. "should we look forward with a level of excitement or trepidation?" I suggest it may be a little bit of both.
I think Brazil just made that up. Is he really all that in the know. Strikes me as someone who probably doesn’t do a lot of research.
My
is on Steffan Freund...just like that time he kicked Roy Keane and ran 
like fuck.
Nothing really sums up Levy like the fact that he fired the only two managers to win him a trophy within six months of them achieving that.
He had no idea how to build on momentum or use the power of hope or belief to energise the club. Everything was a spreadsheet or bottom line calculation.
We’ll see what the Lewis family nepo babies end up doing. But it’s just good to be able to hope and dream as a fan again. Because in my heart of hearts however well we were playing I knew that Levy would never build on it and let the moment fade away.

He was right to do so on both occasions.
A more appropriate example is him failing to build on the foundations of title-winning sides we had under Redknapp and most notably Poch.
I imagine even Levy would concede that if he had his time again he would approach both situations with less prudence.
Something special was there on both occasions, he held up back.
How long have you been here, mate? Here is 4 - there are more.
The noise coming out of the Lewis family camp doesn't sit well with me. It's not that I'm mourning the loss of Levy. I suspect he knew his time was up, which would explain the Venkatesham arrival and the Cullen departure. Whether he jumped or was pushed is for the gossips, but the Times story that he knew only a couple of days before is implausible.
The Lewis family could have allowed a dignified exit, playing along with the story that Levy 'stepped down'. There's a good story to tell, and the promise of a new era can be stated without doing the former chairman down.
But what we've seen is a briefing against Levy, which encourages the interpretation that they didn't have anything to do with what went wrong. They're trying to disconnect Enic from Levy. Now, maybe there might be some truth in the story that the errors made since the stadium construction are down to Levy rather than Enic. But do they really need to say this out loud? It's unpleasant politics.
For me, this is a faulty way of attempting to communicate with club supporters and the media, and doesn't speak well of what may happen in the future. Let's hope they recognise their error.
