Don’t worry. You the know the rules. You can be negative about the players & manager BUT NEVER levy.
You forget enic & levy’s desire was to be in the super league. We aren’t some sort of moral organic club. We furloughed staff too during Covid. Our owner has been done for insider trading & fraud, I think only a few of our fans think we are some moral club doing things the right way. That myth died many years ago! We would be in the super league if levy & Enic had their way!
I was wondering about Josh and his role as Co CEO at Tavistock. That’s going to be a bit sensitive isn’t it?
They're all murky cunts, some of them are just louder about it than others.
And you needn't worry about us doing a 2000's Chelsea or 2010's City, that level of market distortion is no longer permitted.
So is the club listening to the fans - as many on here want us to believe - or wanting to ultimately end up in a Super League?
I said it in the other thread...
If you think this decision on a £3 billion asset was made because the fans chanted a few words, then you need to pray that they aren't prepping for a sale because we won't find better owners.
I'm just glad the crowd/protests haven't started shouting for the cheese room cos I hate the stuff.
Plenty of ownership changes in the pl (even non oil money ones, and traditional big business looking for an actual prifit) have led to stronger results.
Take Liverpool as one massive example.
Exactly.
And they don't come much murkier than Joseph Lewis (currency trader who broke The Bank of England plunging millions in to poverty, Tax avoider. Inside trader. Convicted felon. Patagonia land tyrant....

I can concede that I think vocal protests can instigate smaller change but chants aren't influencing decisions around the leadership at the very top of a billion pound company.
Only regulation taking the decision making out of the capital owners hands can stop the Super League.
Roll on government regulator.
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!
Hindsight is 20:20 as they say!
If we’d have sold Dele in his pomp there’d have been massive fan kickback!

This is a funny thread, some posts about how they'll now be able to buy our players again and discussing who they'd like! haha
the lack of "sense of self" is truly astounding
Who’d have known?!
Play it loud, baby!
I read somewhere years ago that Joe Lewis is a massive Spurs fan and watches all the games on a big screen on his superyacht. It wouldn't surprise me if he has been a lot more hands on than we think.
It's possible that inside the club there were indications of the direction Dele was heading, but from the outside he was unsellable. I don't blame Levy at all for not entertaining offers at the time, even though in retrospect it would have looked brilliant.
Dier was different. We all knew at the time we were getting offered more than he was worth, but the insecurity around being a "selling club" and the inability to adequately use the money in the transfer market because of our archaic Levy-driven process caused us to refuse the squad evolution that team needed.
Liverpool have probably been the kings of the transfer market in recent years.
Sold Coutinho for big money that was wisely invested and took them to the next level.
Got a source for this , or have you just made it up.
