The issue is as the protests are small, levy can dismiss as a minority and think people are generally ok with his operations and decision making.

Biggest issue is his inner circle, of inexperienced and ill qualified exec team who are onto a good thing and don’t counter this view either. Would like to see a hate campaign against Cullen, Collecot and co too. Absolute cunts milking the cash cow

Could u imagine that gnarled old 80 year old hag getting an exec role at Man City? Would struggle to get an interview at BHA yet the prick hadsbeen integral to our decision making for c15 years and is going nowhere. Chancer.

You’ve got a good point there.

If you leave your role on the board where do you go?

I think the adrenaline rush on a Saturday afternoon for the owners will be the same as the players.

You don’t just give that feeling up. It’s pretty much irreplaceable. I guess it’s why you findfootball club owners hang as long as they possibly can. Well past normal retirement age.

Agree. My point is it’s far deeper than just Levy. Even his weird, mute son is on the gravy train and apparently on >0.5M for a part time role. There’s no jeopardy, threat or accountability for the top table

I’ve no idea how many ST holders are actively levy out. Or how many want him gone as a priority in their lives.

But I do know that not that many actively protest.

As I just noted the Stratford demo got hardly any numbers and at the time most of the 22k season ticket holders didn’t want to move there.

It’s apathy more than anything . People have lives to live . Going to a game is an escape from that , you’re with your mates , it can still be crap but gallows humor makes it funny .

If everyone protested at something being not good enough , we’d have millions everyday outside parliament.

Whilst I agree with the gallows humour, crap, funny point, this is beyond that and the incompetence of the board is perpetual and offensive. Will it still be funny getting laughed at for another five years? Ten years? 2033 ok without a trophy or even any effort to win?

Yeah I get that. Football is a release. Sone downtime.
Most people have bigger issues in their lives than Daniel Levy.

And the stark reality is even protesting all day and night isn’t going to make him say. “Oh well. Think I might quit after 500 people said Levy Out”.

And that number could be 5000 or 50000.
As long as the stadium is full he’s getting paid and ENIC make their money.

I think there will be a breaking point, trouble is that we seem to be on a permanent cusp of near outrage which is diluted by “ Price freezes , then we find out prices are going up , then we’re annoyed about lack of CB’s , we get someone in etc. We want to believe that they truly have the football club’s interests at heart because we love the club . It’s some weird masochistic vicious circle

Personally I’ve gone beyond anger. I want the club to succeed but I also have to laugh at enic’s ineptitude, it’s shadiness & lack of professionalism. From Nuno, Conte, Paratichi, Lewis , having to release players as we loaned too many out , over booking concerts etc , the list is endless

He’s a weak little dweeb who was bullied at school. Never kicked a ball in the playground hence why he gets such a stiffy being around alpha males in the changing room and training ground. I can imagine him wanking in the wardrobe whilst Bissouma or Forster poles his wife in his bed, cuckold deviant.

The we want levy out chants, should they spread, might see him rethink his future. His exit plan makes him a billionaire, either via an outright sale of the club or a partial sale of his stake so it’s not exactly a shitty stick

One of the worst is bungling the due diligence on Munn just months after Paratici’s downfall. This is small compared to a lot of the above but is endemic of their complete inability to learn from their mistakes. I hate them. So far out of their depth it’s beyond belief

It’s like some absurdist farce , kind of like that John Cleese film Clockwise

The next saga , after the window , will probably be on the 5th of September when uncle Joe goes to court , you just learn to expect the ridiculous

And yet we're on here because moaning about Levy and ENIC was deemed OFF TOPIC on the transfer thread.

This is what the Levy fanclub wanted, reduce criticism of the owners to one thread even though they control pretty much EVERYTHING to do with our club so in reality, no Spurs-related thread is OFF TOPIC.

So here we are and yet you persist in telling us how wrong we are or how we obviously don't care that much because we're not protesting against the ownership 24/7 and now trying to make out that this window is a positive one.

As per usual we've done the bar minimum, nothing worth getting excited about.

Things could still change, there is still hope.

I'm not telling you to do anything.
I only wondered why people would continue to come into a thread, or read posts, that upset them so much, and make them angry.

You commented on my glass half full optimism.

I commented on your constant negativity.

Everyone's allowed an opinion, it's pretty obvious that you chose to attack me rather than dispute what I posted.

Don't bother mate, they just post lies most of the time.

I challenge anyone to find a post where I put a positive spin on the recent price hikes.

One of my posts on the subject;

"I'm just trying to understand why they'd undermine the good PR they got for not increasing ST (when 17 PL clubs did) by doing this bollocks when they get little or no benefit (money) from it.

It's madness."


When even some of the most staunch anti Enic posters have someone on ignore, due to their repetitive, boring, twisted rhetoric, you know there's an issue.

Out of the 42 thousand season ticket holders I wonder how many actually want Levy out.

The majority of people who complain about them on here aren’t season ticket holders and don’t go to that many games.

Now the trust is involved maybe it takes off. But again I don’t know how many members they have either.

That Brian Dagul fellow has less than 6k twitter followers. 10% of them showing up for the next protest would be a fair turnout.

Ultimately it’s ticket prices and people being personally affected that might kickstart something. (Rather than anything football related).

Absolutely agree mate, and I've no idea on the figures.

What I do know is that some (not all) posters in here are typical keyboard warriors.
Giving it Billy Big Bollocks but are unwilling to do anything.

There's even one poster on here who twists everything to their agenda, lies, posts charts that are 10 years out of date, is maniacal in their hatred of Enic.......but then goes to a game, does the stadium tour, but still doesn't go to the protest that they, literally, have to walk past.

You couldn't make it up.

The idea that you should stand outside a stadium and protest is fucking ludicrous anyway. If you're going to do it, you do it inside in front of the overlord himself. That does at least make him shift in his seat even if it changes nothing. The pleasure of seeing him miserable is worth something at least.

Short of masses of fans trying to buy the whole thing as a collective (obviously never happening) there is nothing concrete we can do apart from individually withhold our funds. But there's nothing wrong with complaining about it online with others; it's human nature and we do it at the pub, so why not places like this?

Maybe what would really help is having two Levy threads: Levy/ENIC bad stuff and Levy/ENIC good stuff (or however it should be titled). That way anybody who can't handle the negativity doesn't have to read or post in it and the same arguments don't have to recycle every day. I do know which thread will get the most posts!
