You expecting anything different to the way we operate?
I think many people got in a personal battle with the face of the company as opposed to the company itself yet people see this as a 'win' but the company still remains.
Sorry but I can’t agree with that!
Since the Berbatov and Keane fiasco he’s fought tooth and nail to retain our top talent and when it was obvious there was no alternative has sought top money.
He would have retained Bale, Modric and Kane if they’d wanted to stay.
We haven’t been a selling club for some time.
Yeah.
The unimpressive bald cunt who made our lives a misery will no longer be stealing a living.
Around the time Redknapp was in charge was, the time I stopped believing in Tottenham really going anywhere under levy.
It was obvious he was only really concerned in retaining Premiership status, with anything else just a bonus.
I'm glad he's gone, still not sure if new Enic is any different to old Enic.
Yeah.
The unimpressive bald cunt who made our lives a misery will no longer be stealing a living.
This is the reason you banned yourself from coming to the stadium, because he was stealing a living...
ok
I agree 100%
He managed to persuade everybody on the outside looking in that he had somehow done Spurs a favour by not allowing the club to get into financial trouble.
Joe Lewis backed him and now his children have stepped up and made all our dreams come true.
I'm not worried in the slightest that Levy's hand is no longer steering the ship.
The club had actually become Levy FC under his tutelage and had an oppressive, monotonous feel.
Spursy is the icon for the Levy FC years.
I think the Lewis kids realised this and have done the right thing.
I'm prepared to give them a chance tbh.
If they get it wrong they can always sell up.
Just so glad that the miser has finally been fucked off down the road.
Why didn't they want to stay?
No.
The stealing a living quote was in answer to your question;
"You expecting anything different to the way we operate?"
To which I replied;
"Yeah.
The unimpressive bald cunt who made our lives a misery will no longer be stealing a living."
I stopped attending home matches because I could no longer bare to be exploited by this money grabbing cunt via his season ticket waiting list and increasingly expensive season ticket renewals.
All the while selling the best players such as Carrick and Berbatov and sacking the best manager Spurs had employed for approaching 20 years in Martin Jol.
If The Supporters Trust had been doing their job he would never have got away with it for as long as he did.
But why do you expect this to stop? Do you suddenly think season tickets are going to be cheap now that Levy has gone?
But why do you expect this to stop? I never said I expect it to stop.
Do you suddenly think season tickets are going to be cheap now that Levy has gone? No; of course not.
I am however very pleased that Daniel Levy will never receive another pay check from THFC and I sincerely hope the Lewis family rip him off in a similar manner to the way he ripped off loyal Spurs supporters for 24 years.
It changes based on the weather. It is regularly said that Levy is a problem because he didn't sell our best players ('stale squad' etc.)
I don't disagree that an over-reaction to trying to retain our best players (rather than cashing in at high values, like Liverpool have tended to do) is what held us back during the Poch era when the additional funds may have been useful.
At the same time, I do understand it. I think we held onto Kane for the right amount of time and sold for the right amount of money. We should have sold Dele before he lost himself. Probably should have sold Eriksen and Dier at their peak.
The fans always said "Levy would sell his nan for the right price" after that 2006-2012ish era of Carrick, Keane, Berbatov, Bale etc. Thing is, those sales were all probably quite important to our growth and it's probably not a coincidence that our trajectory stalled when we stopped doing that.
That’s not true. If it was true he wouldn’t be one of the 250 richest people..
You’re judging him on results on the pitch when 90% of his job was about what happened off the pitch. In that respect he was a huge success. Hence him now being worth several hundred million pounds.
That’s an entirely different argument to what you were portraying.
You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t!
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I think there’d have been hell to pay selling Dele at his peak.
No.
It's a fair question.
Which you know the answer to.
Higher wages and winning trophies.
Levy sold them all at a profit.
He made Spurs a selling club and applied a completely diffferent type of logic to his own salary and bonus, buying players and the cost of match tickets.
Best paid chairman in the league for the longest period of time.
I’d agree they probably all left for higher wages and chance to win trophies, but your selling club analogy is just wrong IMHO.
You clearly have a major Levy issue whereas I can see both sides of the argument so it’s extremely unlikely we’d agree so best to just leave it there.
I just think some people get too hung up on Levy to the point that every shortcoming of the club is down to him whether it truly was or not.
My assertion was that Daniel Levy sold all the best players THFC either bought or produced during his time as chairman.
You haven't actually disagreed with that because it is a statement of fact.
I now have no issue with Levy because the cunt has been sacked for being shit at his job over a sustained period of time.
I understand that many of those who defended Levy loudest; for the longest time, may have a need to save face.
Levy was shit as THFC chairman.
He managed to hire 3 decent managers; Jol, Redknapp and Pochettino. He sacked them all.
He hired Frank Arnesen and Paul Mitchell who were also a success. He allowed Chelsea to take Arnesen and put Mitchell on gardening leave.
Everyone else he hired was below average; apart from Conte who got Spurs top 4.
Best payed chairman in the Premier League's history.

Right so it's obviously personal but I don't get why people are joyous in that regard because not a damn thing will change about our footbal club as its still being ran by the same people? I just find it a bit strange that people were so preoccupied with him so much so thay went to so much lengths to form their own sort of protest to get him out whether that would be not going to the stadium or not buying merch or doing the faux outage thing online only for him to leave and now everything is right in the world when essentially nothing has changed.
That money that you're spening in the stadium is going into someone else's pocket btw.
