Thanks for that
Anyone know who the interviewer was? He looks, acts and talks like a Skoda salesman.

Honestly, I don’t know why anyone that’s a billionaire would want to buy a football club other than to piss money up the wall and be abused. I’m sure the ego rush at the start is cool and it probably is great fun on occasion but day to day it must be pretty shit. Unless you‘ve untold infinite resources from oil or gas and losing money doesn’t matter it just seems such a shit thankless task. Other than the power trip, it just seems like an utter waste of your health and finances.
After seeing this interview in full, its all starting to make sense.
The lack of urgency to win is so clear and its not surprising this mentality filters through the staff.
I can see why Conte didn't want anything to do with spurs now, I feel confident he self sabotaged to get out. I don't have any empirical evidence of this but just how I view it.

Gréât post.
You need skin like a rhinoceros. If you give a fuck what people say then it’s impossible to do. Even Levy’s biggest critics must see that.
The flip side of that is that you can seem distant or like you don’t care about every voice.
Perhaps we can embalm him and stick him in the trophy cabinet?
I think its a bit like most (some) politicians, they probably initially get involved with good intentions to improve things but after a bit of time it's all about power, ego, clinging on for dear life and personal gain. They end up Ignoring the little people and doing what the fuck they like.

Can't wait to not watch that
Because you argued that Newcastle and Villa were bigger clubs than Spurs in the early Levy years. Since then both teams have been relegated while we’ve joined far bigger clubs in the top 6. Our fortunes could not have been more different.
That’s not down to luck. That’s due to good leadership.

17:14; "How do you think the average Spurs fan perceives you"?

"I'm not sure what an average Spurs fan is"
(Reality) I don't give a fuck what they think.
" I'm always acting in the best interests of the club, I've given a large proportion of my life to the club"
(Reality) I've actually given nothing to the club but charged the highest ticket prices in the Premier League while making myself the best paid, self serving, chairman.
Levy is so detached from reality this interview confirms what many of us have always suspected. No wonder he chooses to say nothing and hide most of the time.
Yes, amazing leadership, well done. One club’s been relegated, promoted, relegated and promoted again and in the last two years, they’re in the position that our amazing leadership worked so hard for so many years to achieve.
I guess the bottom line is we should praise the God’s given gift Mr. Levy that we haven’t to endure a relegation.
That fact that you Levy fanatics can’t see that the club’s peaked a few years ago under this ownership and will slowly regress is as astonishing as your stubborness to understand that pretty much most of the fans acknowledge that the club improved under ENIC, or maybe you’re willingly doing so because that’s the only “argument” you have left to defend these owners.
There’s no such thing as a Levy fanatic.
And the fact you stated isn’t a fact.
Watched the interview. He gives so little away that it’s impossible to really know or judge him. I really don’t think he’s leadership materiel though. There’s more inspiration and charisma in a chicken McNugget.
The being-a-fan stuff does come across as somewhat contrived and awkward - stuff like him going as a kid, buying a rosette and a rattle… don’t buy it in all honesty.
A bit of rewriting of history too including nonsense about how a main factor since joining the club was making tickets available for kids and the legacy to the community. It’s very simple. ENIC’s investment has grown astronomically. Fans are milked for all they’re worth. The club as a traditional trinity of players, supporters and management is dead.
Then he praises Spain playing games abroad and hints at a cup competition here doing likewise.
In summary, proper football is dead.
But we knew that anyway.
