I'm kind of expecting a "letter to the fans" in a couple of days that just says
Dear Spurs fans,
Happy now?

Imagine us paying someone to fucking score for the spammers, disgusting thought.
Hmm. Just watched it. Changed my opinion on Daniel a bit that has. Seems like a real fan after all. Not sure how I'm going to handle this to be honest. I actually had watery eyes watching that. Feel so proud to be a Spurs fan right now.
Not one nosher among the 22 positive ratings so far. Truly a fanbase divided. They obviously think we were better before. Madness. All I will say is that none of them who paid money to go to the Lane in those days can seriously argue that we are worse off now.
Anyone that tries to defend Levy/ENIC, even when they are Spurs legends, are treated like they voted Conservative/Leave. No-one deserves that level of vitriol.
If you're gonna blame every failure on Levy, you must do the same for the successes.
The truth is, every win, loss and draw is an amalgamation of everything and everyone.
We also clearly came close to signing De Jong and Grealish. Two players who clearly have quality to add to the team. Levy hasn't sat on his arse doing nothing, far from it. Under Levy we have gone from no European football through to getting to the semi finals of the Europa League, all the way through to being in the semi finals of the Champions League. We have done so whilst working within our financial means.
Levy has been a catalyst for change & people that can't see the development to date refuse to see it as it doesn't suit their agendas. If we beat Ajax and win the final, will people say they were wrong to slag Levy off? It's a real possibility and it's occured under Levy's reign when 15 years ago breaking into the top 4 was seen as an impossible task by the likes of Jol etc.
It's all about the long-term, it's the only way to organically grown the stature of the club just and fairly
As does ticket pricing and the clubs involvement with stub hub and Thomas cook.

Without a player coming in I see no point in lending Ade to Wet Spam, paying half his wages and then watching him suddenly play well for a contract and perhaps drive them above us, it would be typical #Spursy
This is a bit of a strange debate because no one is going to change their opinion on Daniel Levy. He is either the tight chairman holding us back or a safe pair of hands getting us slowly up to where we belong.
There are so many things to be said about spending big, it's not worked for Chelsea or Manchester United and the jury is out on City. Demanding a high spending chairman seems fairly hollow looking at the premier league today.
That said we need a striker, any fan with a set of eyes will tell you that our reliance on Harry Kane to lead the line is short sighted. Though Son did a great job at Leicester, he is not a natural focal point for our system, though I think he's only going to get better in attacking midfield. Though it may be a scouting issue or reluctance on the part of Mitchell/Pochettino, if we fall short through a lack of goals this season, I think the general consensus will be that Levy has let us down.
Even if that is the case, I think you have to credit Levy, we are not the 4th richest club in the league, therefore we are clearly over achieving, we are a top 6 side on the basis of the squad we can afford.
The fact we have not won the league or FA Cup under Levy does not make him a bad chairman, I think he has taken the club forward sustainably,which is a great deal better than some of the horror stories of the clubs we've seen come and go.
I can understand why some might be a little disappointed by Levy, he's not always been right, not by any measure. What I don't get is that some fans think he is literally the worst chairman we've ever had, I just can't see that...

I do think that people forget we operate within a budget, and if there are restrictions due to the stadium and paying our current crop the best wage we can afford, then it stands to reason we are not going to splash out silly money for average players. I am sure that when we come calling, the price shoots up.
ahhh the glazers
borrowed a stack of cash to buy man utd. trasnferred the debt they incurred to man utd, so the club is paying for its self to be bought by them.
and some people think ENIC are bad owners
Naive to think he's a true Spurs fan , are there any chairman that are ? He serves Lewis first . Enic are a investment company that maximises it's assets for profitable return .
lnvesting large amounts in the team is considered high risk and "our" money is better used for infrastructure .
The premier league is a wash with cash. While l thank him for the new stadium , any owner /chairman would have done it in the last 20 years . With a large fan base , tourist fans it would be stupid not to .
So till we win a title , a few cups he will always be mocked by the media/other fans as greedy tiģht fucker. The media , just never see the will to invest any required cash into the first 11 to be taken seriously as club that wants to actually win things . At the moment we are the new Woolwich without the cups , which is an improvement .
I hope a leopard can change it's spots but lm not so confident .

To eventually sell it
Ain't no coon critter around Whitehorse but we sure got badtooth grizzlys .
A few summer's back down south worked on Uncle Woodrow's farmstead in Alberta. You sure got those coons in the salt marsh around the creek.
No Davy Crockett hats here brother , that's in gong land of the free . We leave that to the half witted Trumpbillys.

It's pretty unbelievable / embarrassing that people are having a go at Levy the day after we played a Champions League semi-final in our amazing new stadium.
Welcome back, Spursdem.
Credit to Levy for the venue. But I think Poch and team deserve the credit for getting to the semi.
Kind of backs up my earlier post. It's a shame more supporters don't show as much support for the hand-tied Poch and his dwindling band of fighters as they do for Levy and the owners.
