I think it just reaffirms everything I’ve thought about Levy for a while now; exceptional off-field operator and the way he has built the club has been great, but he either doesn’t have the aptitude or the finances to cash in on the winning lottery ticket he has built with the stadium and infrastructure, and it makes it incredibly frustrating as a fan.

Watched that brief clip , completely changed my mind about him . He came across as witty , empathetic , very committed to spending for on field success , 6ft 5 inches tall and with hair like Ginola in the shampoo advert

The only ambition is to make profit.
The non football events now make that task easier for Levy and anyone wishing to take it from Levy and ENIC will have to pay at least 2 billion for the stadium alone plus whatever Levy values the rest of the club at.
What do we think he would want for the training facilities?
My view since the stadium was completed has been that Levy and ENIC are never going.
The best we can hope for is some entity taking on the football franchise and renting the training facilities and stadium.
Levy's hands will be in our pockets forever because of this stadium.
If ENIC ever sell up and we get an Ashley or Glazers then it will be a case of better the devil you know!
I don’t believe Levy doesn’t want to win. You can see when he’s standing infront of the Europa League trophy how proud of it he is. But it’s a bit like the scene in The Untouchables where Connery asks Costner if he really wants to get Capone. Yeah, you want to get him, but what are you prepared to do to get him?
Same thing goes for Levy. Yeah, you want to win the PL, but to do that you may have to put everything on the line, financially and in terms of club focus. And he’s just not prepared to do that…

So in short...I don't interfere in footballing operations I just lead negotiations. I.e. the most critical component of signing a chosen player.
OK
OK
Sean Connery ends up dead , even I don’t wish that on Daniel.
Incurable piles? Yes , death no .
Gave up listening when I got massive heartburnSo in short...I don't interfere in footballing operations I just lead negotiations. I.e. the most critical component of signing a chosen player.
OK
Did he say he wants to win the PL and CL?
This narrative hasn't lasted long. We are back to discussing the importance of financial stability in great depth
Did he say he wants to win the PL and CL?
He said there’s no expectation on Thomas to win the PL this year, but he wants him to win it asap
What if we don't get Ashley or the Glazers?
You sound like the kind of guy who'd never walk away from an abusive relationship because you're not sure of the consequences on the other side.
....Stockholm Syndrome personified
With ENIC we'll be forever looking up at our two fiercest rivals. Even though we have the fanbase and the location to match them...You happy to spend the rest of your life in their shadow?
I fucking ain't
He ultimately decides who buy and who we sell.So in short...I don't interfere in footballing operations I just lead negotiations. I.e. the most critical component of signing a chosen player.
OK
We all knew this.
He didn’t say with us i assume . Just wishing him well for when he inevitably sacks himHe said there’s no expectation on Thomas to win the PL this year, but he wants him to win it asap
Sounds like your tryst with the GOATThat’s half an hour I’ll never get back
The only interview with Levy I'd be interested in watching is one that's not scripted and the interviewer pulls no punches with his questions?
Spurs are a massive club. Why do you continue to act so small time in the transfer market?
Why do you treat the supporters with such utter contempt?
Considering you charge among Europe's elite ticket prices, don't the fans deserve to see you sign elite football players?
Considering the football teams on field performance, how do you justify your status as the highest paid chairman in football?
If you're serious about winning, why do you invest a lower proportion of the clubs income in your players than every other team in every major league in Europe?
As a football club, why are you prioritising the building of hotels and residential tower blocks?
You claimed every penny of third party events goes back into the team. So how is it you invest less in the team than clubs that don't have such events?
You once claimed you only got involved in football to milk it's financial reward and profit from it's global popularity. Are you ashamed at such crass motivation?
Considering our similar financial resources, how do you explain the growing chasm in ambition compared to our rivals down the road?
Were you impressed with the huge demonstrations last season and the Levy out chants booming around your stadium?
As the longest sitting ownership in Premier League history, do you not think your time is up and you should sell to new owners with more ambition to take the club forward?
That's just a few reasonable ones. I'm sure there's many more others could add, myself included.

Someone who resides in the same circles said Levy considers the club is his baby lock stock and barrel so he is the world's biggest control freaks.
He is still banging on about his achievement building a new stadium from experience any powerful cvnt can oversee building works but he thinks he is Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Frank Lloyd Wright all rolled into one.
