Spot on - the Board is more than happy with Top 4 it seems because it ensures maximum financial return with least investment in the team since winning the PL / CL would require spending top dollar on real talent.
I also have a lingering suspicion ENIC might actually sell as soon as the stadium is done as our stock is at its highest. Hopefully not
Its naive and downright crass to deny he's a Spurs fan to try and push an agenda.....
"oh he didnt buy me Ronaldo, he's not really Spurs"
Only a true Spurs fan would run the club the way he has, giving it financial health and a future. Awwww we had to wait a whole 6 months longer for the 15 year project he just delivered, Levy Out.
He was attending WHL in the 60's and was good friends with the likes of Hoddle I believe in the 80's while he had a box....he then bought the club and built a stadium.
If he's not a true fan, Im not sure what that makes any of us
Two transfer windows without a signing was always going to backfire on us
dude a whore won't play a fiddle if it's broken.
The main man don't need the media to give that impression brother , he rocked it himself.
Not signing anyone was one thing but cashing in on Dembele was fucking criminal. We were getting injuries galore at the time to but they still felt it best to cash in. Just fucking disgusting.
Dembele was finished, no way he would have been fit for last night and also would have meant Foyth wasn't in the CL squad.......so we probably wouldn't have beaten Dortmund anyway
Just played a Champions League Semi Final in the best stadium in the world.
But what has he ever done for us?

If you pay Levy and Enic no credit any for that success, then you are a blithering idiot.

I'm afraid to say he's not even a good accountant.
He's created a persona now that everyone is looking to pull a fast one over the great negotiator that is Daniel levy our Lord and saviour.
It is royally backfiring on him and reflecting in the accounting books too.
Even some of his business decisions are odd. He's sounded out lots of companies to get naming rights but has valued the club way beyond anything a legitimate buyer would pay.
The uber rich (the only people who can afford to pay the valuation) aren't going to want to buy us, they've made their money, they have no interest in us. So he's priced himself out of that market.
His morals are also off. Reminder this is the same guy who wanted to cut wages of our non-playing staff during the pandemic whilst he himself is happy to give himself millions each year, including bonuses.
As with most businesses, covid has thrown a spanner into his business of using the stadium as a cash cow. But everyone knows this money is not going to be invested in the team.
I think ENIC have made the decision that they will not be able to financially compete with Chelsea, City, Newcastle and United. So they will take what they can get from the stadium which is enough profit to keep them going.
The football operation is just going to survive although matchday revenues will not be anything like what levy intended when the stadium opened. Hence from a business point here he's not made a good decision because he has failed to realise that to maximise profits which are his intentions he needs to invest in on field football operations to ensure fans fill out the stadium.
Just my opinion but by the time international travel fully recovers from covid, the casual tourist fan who levy was banking on will no longer want to attend because the footballing side will be such a shit show it won't be worth a tourist spending that much money. I'm sure the big games will get sold out against the top 6 but none of the others will.
The attendances at home from now to the end of the season will be on average 40-50k IMO.
If it was praising him you’d read it while having a tug.
We finished fifth with more points than when we finished fourth.
The net spend argument is a joke as well. The fact our net spend is low is a good thing. If we are improving and not spending beyond our means, that's fucking genius.
Did Ferguson write this in a drunken state or was he still dizzy from the meeting with Levy?
So Gold has a month to do the deals he wanted, tries to do 8 in the last 2 hours of the window and fails. Rather than hold up his own hands and admit they should have acted faster he blames other people for being impossible to work with? Oh well, whatever hoodwinks the cavemen fans into believe your bullshit I guess
Probably gonna get a million disagrees but I think Levy is a phenomenal chairman who's done so much good for Spurs.
