What people want to see Levy doing

And this is a valid point, as valid as people being concerned he is there for other reasons, would you not agree?

The only reason I don't agree is that I have never been concerned that Levy is involving himself in football matters to do with the physical side of the game and I'm not sure it is something other people tend to be concerned with about him.

The concerns I hear most about Levy is he is tight, has poor football knowledge and judgment, only cares about making money for ENIC, doesn't care about winning things.

So I really cannot think of a valid reason to be concerned with him being present at a training session. That's not to say that others may not have valid reasons to be concerned, I'm just yet to read one.

If they really, really, really want a reason, here is one ;

Ah hem....... Kane's future at the club is in doubt.
Levy wants Kane to stay but knows that he might be adamant in leaving.
If we get offers, then he will inform Kane, even though this could be done over the phone.
If we get an acceptable offer though, he wants to be on hand to tell Kane and still try to get him to stay.
That's a lot easier if you're on the ground and able to speak to someone face to face, and don't have to factor in the time difference.

Pure speculation obviously, but as I said previously, it's no biggie.

Easier still if you had not got a reputation for reneging on your word allegedly

I think if Levy were not at many training sessions and not talking to people in and around the first team then he would be negligent. He plays a significant role in hiring the manager so a very basic facet of his leadership will be collecting information - either directly or through people he trusts.

That is such a basic leadership requirement for any football chairman.

“Taking a step back from football operations” has become a bit of a meme from Tottenham fans online. What that can never involve is a lack of responsibility for football operations. Levy’s critics are the first to say that he is responsible for what happens on the field but there must be some leadership and management processes that assume that responsibility. In no organisation do leaders hire and then ignore the work of the important people below them.

So my view is that the evidence we have of Levy’s involvement is entirely normal. It’s absence would be more surprising. And note that none of this is evidence of micromanaging or going solo on important decisions; it’s simply assuming responsibility as a leader. Whether you like it or not, that is his role at the club.

Would you say that his involvement also stretches to transfer decisions?
