The man who failed to get a naming rights deal.
That’s not very 2024 though.
You’d still need to make a reel and a TikTok showing you do it.
Fuck off shit threadNo mate, you should participate - it's been very calm so far
That's not in the poll mate
Yeah, but apart from that . . . . . .Ha Ha..Shady is one of 'The Most Ignored ' posters on the forum as so many find his nauseating love affair with Daniel Levy so unpalatable they've blocked him.
They won't even be aware of any poll. .
Anyway.
Stratford. European money league. Villa Ticket pricing scandal. Frazer Campbell. Anchor Tennants. Nuno appointment, Serial trophy dodgers. Furlough. Highest boardroom Salaries. 0 domestic cups since 2008. Best players wanting out. Self confessed involvement for financial gain only. No desire to win. winning is hardHighest ticket prices in the world. Previous managers calling them out. Profit over Glory.....Majority owner awaiting sentencing for fraud having locked up his shares in some dodgy 'family trust'
And yet another trophyless season on the horizon
Yeah. Sure.... I'm 100% backing them . .
This is a good point, fan sentiment has always been linked with on the pitch performances, the vast majority of the ENIC out sentiment was based on fans who who had to sit and watch shit football with the club heading in no direction which was hard to get behind.
Fans always need something to get behind because it harbours the feeling of hope, we didn't have much hope over the last 5 years or so because the tooabll was unsustainable and we always knew deep down that it was going to blow up at some point.
Been an Enic/ Levy critic for a long time now. For me they've made some horrible decisions over the years which have impacted the lack of footballing success massively whilst all the time rewarding themselves with huge bonuses. No doubt they would argue this is because of the finances being in order but this is a FOOTBALL CLUB and on that front they have failed. Watching the Amazon Doc I genuinely stunned how much Levy seemed to be around the team on a day to day basis. Just didn't feel right to me and even more reason for him to be held responsible.
Our current situation with P&S thing is definitely worthy of some praise. Was it all part of some master plan? Not necessarily convinced and it's only because most our rivals have struggled with it that seems to have given us an advantage. To be fair they might have had some idea this would be the case and Danny boy has banged the sustainability drum for sometime.
The Stadium and all the NFL/Beyonce/Go karts etc should hopefully help us continue to maintain and grow this advantage so again credit where it's due and all that.
So do I trust our owners? I've had too many years of disappointment and hurt to be fully on board but I'm hopeful they're starting to get things right. Bout bloody time though!!

We actually have a history of hosting non-football events going back to Northumberland Park. We hosted royal tournaments and baseball games in an effort to increase stadium revenue. The only difference is that it wasn't anywhere near as profitable as it is now.
ENIC aren't doing anything that wasn't being done in the 1890s.
Supporting Spurs for 46 years and prior to Ange it was becoming harder and harder to have faith in Levy & Co. Yes we have the stadium, the training grounds and most of the infrastructure required to succeed, but the facts are the trophy cabinet has been bare and dusty a long time. Top that off with Jose and Conte ball and its clear why the feeling about the club amongst fans was getting so toxic.
As a part time Celtic fan I had worries about Ange taking our job, not because I did not think he could succeed, but because I worried he would not be backed and both Spurs and Celtic would then suffer.
Currently we have a top manager in Ange, playing the type of football we want to see. We have a much improved scouting/recruitment setup with Paratici working wonders with some of his signings. We are also very compliant with FFP and lets face it FFP should play into Levys hands.
My worries would be if something goes awry, we lose Ange or our recruitment goes to pants again. Historically it has taken us way too long to rectify issues like this and I would not have a lot of faith in that improving going forward.
In summary my feeling of trust in the club has improved, however their way of handling fans issues needs to improve and I will wait until I see some silverware or persistent challenging for same before all faith is restored. We are heading in the right direction again, but it will take more than a few months of improvement to convince many that this is not just another false dawn.

You've made 2 incorrect assumptions. Firstly, I can't 'start to trust ENIC again', because I never trusted them in the first place. Secondly, they can't 'restore my faith in them', because I've never had faith in them.@Doom Funk

Hello lads, you've all voted 0%
Let me ask this question, what do ENIC have to do to restore your faith in them so you can start to trust them again? (apart from leave)
You'd have to be naive to trust someone for whom Tottenham is just a rich man's plaything, or at best a business venture. There are a few football club owners who are first & foremeost fans - I don't see ENIC in that way, so I don't trust them.
Do you think any set of fans trust their owners or do you think it's just an ENIC/Tottenham thing? Like do you think any of the other top 6 owners are first and foremost fans?
Even if we didn’t have levy. I wouldn’t want our chairman around the players & manager so much. Acting like you’re one of them. Act like a chairman. Get out their way!
You voted 100% .....when they have the worst trophy record in the football club's history. Currently have no European football, no domestic trophy interest, and staring down the barrel of finishing another season empty handed.@

A more pertinent question would be How many more managers, and how many more years of coming up short are you prepared to give them before you start doubting them
