Pissed me off reading this statement What a load of PR driven horse shit. Since last September we knew things had to change. Yet you still appointed Igor Tudor. Igor fucking Tudor! He was the cheap option and it backfired in almost devestating fashion. You've taken the fans for absolute mugs and continue to do so. Actions speak louder than words. Your promises are false.

We see you.

GET OUT OF OUR CLUB
 
At least more and more people are starting to acknowledge that Levy was a major problem, had been for years and just had to be removed. I understand how difficult that is for a few people to accept but time is a great healer, guys.

The way he unceremoniously had his ass kicked out the door seems more brutal than we realised though. Makes me chuckle just thinking about it tbh :D

For all their faults and errors I do have some empathy with the new 'regimes' statement that it was like trying to fix an airplane while it was in mid flight.

Following Sundays great escape, it looks like they managed to land it successfully.....Just. Now the real repair to Daniel Levy's wreckage can hopefully begin in earnest. And as we approach a summer free of his shackles for the first time in a quarter of a century, hopefully the healing within the fanbase can begin.

I still desperately want them to sell to more ambitious owners, so my vote remains 'OUT' for now....... but I am at least a little bit more optimistic moving forward into this transfer window than having that wanker bargain hunting all summer and dragging this club through the mud.

A Levy - less Spurs is a happier more exciting Spurs for us all

Thank you all for your support and enjoy the summer ahead.

Yours.
John.

I'm very confident that the statement was prompted on Chat GPT and then sent out.

All the grammatical hallmarks of an AI spiel.

Levy *knew* he was balancing ambition on the pitch and in the transfer market against self-imposed financial restrictions.

70% of these statements from the new guard trying to blame Levy for not wanting to win, not being connected to the fans, blah blah is just transparent PR bollocks, but my worry is that 30% they've actually convinced themselves that they can do the same thing and achieve different results.


Vinai is not, never has been, and never will be anything but an empty suit. He's useless and a Gooner and we should get rid of him, but he's strictly a placeholder for the actual power at the club, and in that sense he's really not worth paying attention to.


The thing that's confusing to me is that Levy hired Lange. We've got this whole new guard that have been swept in as a new era, and I do think in some sense Levy was forced by the newly empowered and increasingly rebellious Lewis heirs to bring on a proper technical director after the FIFA mess with Paratici, but it's Levy who hired him.

Why would the Lewises, Charrington and Vinai not want to start fresh? What is it that weds them to this bizarre dual sporting director role?

It's a statement written by a PR firm, not a Chairman - same as Levy's

Either you believe both or you believe none - one cannot pick and choose.
 
Less is more in communication from the top, we don’t believe a word of it anyway. De Zerbi said he wants to start preseason with what he sees as his ideal starting XI in place. Either they will deliver on that or they won’t. That’s all we are interested in.

I don't believe for a second that the board decided to force Levy out on a whim. Vinai and Charrington were brought in to replace Levy and Levy was held over in an attempt to provide a smooth transition over the summer. A month before he left he basically organized a farewell address with the Guardian, FFS.

There were pretty strong rumours he could be out in June last year and the man isn’t an idiot so I expect he suspected something may be up to force him out. Arrogance could have made him think he was untouchable though, which would be fair enough and I wouldn’t have blamed him for that.

Levy was Levy and we all know what he was like, I believe that they got rid of him and weren’t ready for what the result would be. They could easily fuck up the rebuild and probably will. The lack of any experience of building a football club on the board suggests they will as they’ve never been in this position before. The appointments have been bizarre really. If I am them I’m getting the best people in I possibly can and letting them run the club from the top down. People who have been there done it at PL clubs. Probably a bad example but Abramovich brought Peter Kenyon in from Man U to run things when he bought the chavs. It’s that kind of thing they need to do. Paul Barber the obvious one, but there’s others out there.

TBF isn't that what they are doing with all of the execs coming in from City?

We obviously need more football people involved. No disagreeing on that.

It does, but I think we all have to accept there is nothing he could have said other than “Lange out, Vinai out. COYS” that would have got any sort of decent reaction. Even that would have been taken badly by half our fans.

There is an acknowledgement of issues. There is a commitment to act. There should have been an apology to the fans.

Overall though We can’t force them to sell. Creating a negative atmosphere won’t help the team. I’m feeling a bit resigned to seeing if anything has changed right now

I do think that we as fans can and should make our voices heard in regards to the standards that we expect of the football team. But we clearly need to find a avenue to do it that isn't booing the players because as we have seen this season it doesn't get the desired effect.

For as long as ENIC are still in charge they need to feel the proverbial knife at their throat from the fans.

They talked a good game end of last season, and after levy was sacked.

Thru have zero credibility.

Unfortunately I do believe them when they say their now for sale. Perpetual cash cow they have.

They'll just do enough so this doesn't happen again

I could have written that statement - but yeah it says everything you would expect to be in a public statement from a multi-billion pound company trying to distance itself from the blame of the current predicament.

As always the proof will be in the pudding.

Yeah zero chance Charrington himself wrote the thing.

The content is quite different to a typical Levy letter though. I don't recall him ever so explicitly outlining the intentions for the club - the more specific you are the more the fans can hold you to when you fail. Levy was always more vague iirc.

And while it may well be lip service, I'm not sure how any fans can actually disagree with the goals outlined in the statement. They're pretty much exactly what every fan is always asking for: investment in the squad and success on the pitch.

Obviously it means nothing without action, and the fact they're holding onto Lange (so far) after one of the most abject DoF jobs in world football is concerning. But I dunno why anyone is explicitly angry with or disagrees with the statement itself. Beyond the transparent PR-ness of it all (which was always gonna be the case) it aligns with 99% of what fans are asking for.
