Daniel it's not a poor patch it's an implosion and it's good to see you copping it now. Oh btw Butler is waiting for his monthly retainer apparently it's late this month.

No denying we won cups then - football as a whole is a completely different beast and 100% fans were absolutely desperate to break into the top 4 and be regulars in Europe - denying that is completely and utterly changing facts mate -
Fans priority definitely shifted in the PL era as SKY and the media prioritised the glow of European Football and started to diminish the domestic cups -
The future of Newcastle was never in the fans hands - Mike Ashley chose to sell
I do believe the ALL BOUT LEVY mentality is rather prevalent - for me it's just about re-shifting the focus of upper management as it is now, I'm not here to spout revisionism.
I travelled to the Champions League Final which I made into a full 2 week holiday, we lost & we didn't play our best also the handball was indeed handball but none of that was Levy's fault our squad had Trippier, Kane, Son, Dele, Lloris all in their prime with Poch (don't get me started on the revisionism on him lately) yet they as a team failed.
So you don't think the fans pressure didn't add to that? the same way the pressure from fans with Alan Sugar?
if you don't that's fine & I'll move on.
Agree we aren't known for cups in the last 30yrs as let's face I've only seen 3 cups since 1991 but we should be known as good competitors & contenders for them as we once were.
I also agree we can't ignore the present as the younger generations of football fans routinely inform me
I'm just comparing advertising & promotional materials with their messaging that's all yknow the whole Inspirational/Aspirational messaging in marketing. It was in response to someone else.
"It's real supporters wanting to be heard with a view to not having a corporate brand focus and the club being more like football club...isn't it?" correct!
"But alot of supporters may like it how it is now. Not sure why personally, but that's up to them." Again this I agree with as well if they like it how it is no one is forcing anyone to do anything
Would agree ref Bale timeline , my mistake
Hey I don’t disagree with that , but I personally would sooner have 62k in the stadium incl Son fans and a few tourists than 50k in the stadium and 12,000 empty seats .
When not playing well and not massive Cat A games I don’t think we have more than a hardcore 40-45k who will turn up against Ipswich .
In fact if you look at the EL games without the tourist and Son fans we will have plenty of away fans sitting around us, which is worse in my view .

I cannot see the Prem saying the last 20 years of our product was a sham . Think it will be punishment but of a sufficiently lenient scale that all it conveys is they have been a bit naughty
What do you suggest?
This lot sold a dream of reaching new heights after the new stadium, how it would allow us to make that step up financially and compete at the top.
They've then turned around and hired a nobody manager to head a team full of kids while rapidly reducing the wage bill. It's criminal what they have done. The Beyonce shite would be fine if it was in aid of financing a competitive football team, but its all just part of a bigger picture of making us a profit machine whilst at best the team treads water.

Fan boycott, no club shop, no shirts (etc.,) is much better than protesting.
Sure your seat might be taken by a tourist but the 'new stadium pull' will die off with time. Given the ENIC goal is making money, hit them where it actually hurts - in the pocket.

The problem with dreams is that you have to be asleep to believe in them.
When you wake up and realise it was just a dream the reality is often hard to swallow.
Good morning fella.
You are absolutely right but this is impossible to achieve... no season ticket holders is perfect model for a club with our fan base. They know the stadium will never be empty. Do you think Levy will care if you support Spurs or the opposition if you buy a ticket. If Man United were given 40k tickets for Sundays fixture, they will sell out their allocation in an hour.
Shirts are interesting. The deal we have signed with Nike isn't just to make our kit. It's to also collect the revenue. Hence why its worth 30m a year. The revenue last year was about 63m but once you take out manufacturing, distribution and sales costs then Nikes margin is probably 10%. If we don't buy shirts we hurt Nike not Levy. He gets the 30m every year regardless of sales.
Football third on the list
Not that I’ve ever really looked into this but if you go on company house and search up Mr borrow money & see how many companies he is the director of It’s pretty remarkable

23 director roles …. Thumb in too many pies springs to mind
Before THFC mr Dan ran several companies , most failed , I vaguely remember a Disney connection of merch that was a disaster , maybe that was Tavistock , I can’t be arsed to check
but pre Spurs he’s shown how incapable he is . We know he’s still dabbling with the football .

Great, thanks for looking that up - not a clue what it has to do with our back-and-forth but I understand you have 'Levy brain' and it's hard to have a discussion without him being at the center of it!
