Are there really some Spurs fans that are still pro-Levy?!

Staples Center is a different animal for sure, its run as a comoletley separate private entity. The fact that the Lakers can be worth $10B without even owning and monetizing their stadium is really going to grate on owners at United, Madrid, etc.

A lot of the Lakers value is the local broadcasting deal - I'm sure our friends in England don't want that nonsense being exported to them.
As an English/Angelino, raised here, people just don't understand how loved Lakers/Dodgers are here. They are LA and LA is them. The money spent on these teams are astronomical.
Even if a selfish owner wanted to move the team they can't anymore because its so synonymous with the city.

Also American sports system is designed to have owners make a good chunk of money, it would be Levy's dream to own an American sports team because they generate so much "guaranteed" revenue and is barred by cap space so no team can have too much advantage over the other.

I don't think the shockwaves this sends are the ones you, me, or anyone else want to see.

This is just further proof that NBA values have over the past decade over taken the value of football clubs. I've pointed this out multiple times in discussing the inevitability of the ESL.

Football is a more popular, more watched sport than basketball - yet basketball's top properties are more valuable than football's. Why? Because football has a much more socialist financial model, where value is more evenly spread from the top to the bottom. Basketball puts all its most valuable properties in one box (the NBA) and lock everyone else out of the revenue distribution.

The people at the top european clubs will be looking at this and wondering why they're putting up with their club being worth less because they're giving a ton of their money to Brentford and Sevilla and Parma.
I've felt since the start of the EPL that the end game for some owners would be a World super league
outside of FIFA,
with its own football laws/rules,
where the players only play for that club (not their country)
you woud have the best of the best players, who once their contracts were up the FIFA clubs would be falling over themselves to get them (if they wanted more money)
running its own TV channels, at price so folks won't bother with priate streams
 
Just to be clear, Levy has pissed me off rightly over the years … but I do think he has had a masterplan, for the club as a whole being.
100% - LEVY’s MASTERPLAN for the club are set out in the links below. It’s all right there on the club website for all to see:




How will all of this be paid for you ask? Simple use revenue from supporters (tickets, merch, tv subscriptions etc) to plan/build real estate - rather than WASTE it on player transfers and wages.

WHY DO YOU THINK OUR WAGES TO TURNOVER IS SO F’IN LOW?! Wages plummeted as construction on the hotel is getting going COINCIDENCE? If not on real estate construction and planning, where do you think the money not spent on wages is going??

Anyway we're all here for the same reason, we all love our Tottenham, opinions will vary, but hopefully we all get what we want, proper success and glory,
We’re not getting proper success and glory while we have the lowest wages to turnover ratio not just in the EPL but of any team in a big five league bruv. ENIC is running a con init. Building a real estate empire off the back of our club and us (as supporters).

They’ve already made BILLIONS just owning the club. How greedy is it to siphon off club money to build real estate instead of using it to improve the club on the pitch?!? All owners in the EPL are greedy bastards but no other owner is doing this. ENIC/Levy Out!

Just watched the 'first day' video. I thought it interesting that Levy is nowhere to be seen in it.
Let’s hope he stays out of Frank’s way, I believe that one of the problems that previous managers have had is that Levy micro-manages them and undermines their authority. That much was evident in the Amazon series when Danny Rose, having got no joy from Jose, expected to go over his head straight to Levy.

Don't think that has happened since then tbh

In the funding for infrastructure coming from the club? I don’t think that can be answered. I agree it looks that way but I’m not 100% sure

I’m not sure that’s the case - the bigger problem is a lack of strategy and trying to be clever, rather than buying the best player possible from time to time, and undermining the manager that way
