I mean he couldn't have released it at a better time
What a load of tosh... man sees opportunity based on view football has a ton of unlocked marketing potential. Man unlocks that potential making a billion in the process. Man doesn't need football success to maximise revenue from football club. To me this is actually awful and nobody should fool for this piece if written garbage.![]()
Daniel Levy, Spurs’ Pelé of debt structuring, may yet be vindicated | Barney Ronay
Under-fire owner has transformed Spurs into a fully self-sustaining entity. The alternatives are hardly more palatablewww.theguardian.com
I found it to be quite balanced.

Says Levy has taken our infrastructure and finance a long way since ENIC - true.
Says it’s more difficult to win stuff than it used to be - true.
Says he’s made a number of poor decisions -true.
Says the fans are frustrated at the low wage ratio - true.
Can’t see anything in the piece that isn’t true. Can you?
“supporters who are justifiably frustrated at certain elements”I said bias , what it totally doesn’t to mention is alm the failures . It’s painfully one sided , no balance whatsoever
Fuck off and support PSGI wish an oil state would come along and put us out of our misery
Great article.![]()

Probably not enough ‘Levy is a cunt’ remarks for some!“supporters who are justifiably frustrated at certain elements”
“Levy has been far from perfect with the on-field stuff”
“Bad choices have been made”
“Fans are frustrated at how low the wage bill is”
"...Levy really could find himself cast in bronze outside the ground he built, architect of a very modern kind of super-club."
Written by Daniel Levy's Love Child. What a whole lot of crap. Has THFC become richer or the owners become richer.

Answer these 3 questions;
1) Has the FC on the pitch improved?
2) Who owns the wealth amassed because of THFC?
3) Have you received a fair trade for the money you have invested into being a Fan of THFC?
My answers are
1) Hell No
2) Levy and ENIC
3) Another 'Hell No'. I haven't received prover renumeration for the 1 Pound Key Ring I bought, let alone the money I spent flying from SA in order to just visit the home of Spurs. Maybe it works for the few million Eastern and Aussie Tourists but it doesn't work for me.
It is certainly time for the owners to actively search for a buyer if they aren’t willing or able to take the final and most important step. But I’m not for ignoring the good they’ve done either.
How about Levy is the Pele of........I found it to be quite balanced.

Did I miss something, are you happy with mid table with the ridiculous ticket prices, the ridiculous jersey prices and the cheap under 19 squad we have? And please don't even mention, "The Rebuild". Villa have been relegated, stayed down for 2 or 3 seasons, came back up and are sitting way above us with a better squad and a better manager. So much for you stats.
In short:in the PL, before ENIC we were a bottom half club, post ENIC a top half club. Results on the pitch continually improved.
The wealth has primarily gone to the club. Levy’s wealth is almost entirely bound up in the value of the club.
Sounds like you have invested badly. Plenty of other investments you can make if you’re not happy.
