Yes, though in the case of the Royal Family you have millions of tourists desperate to see them, their palaces, and their history. Spending money. I didn't see a surge in Tottenham's global popularity out of line with other top PL clubs when we named the stadium THS. If anything, our relative popularity has declined over the past 6 or 7 years. Oh wait, could that just perchance be correlated to on-field performances?

Well the word is he was shocked when kicked out , but if as you say Frank was hired over his head then the writing was clearly written in massive block capitals on the wall .
I don’t know , I can categorically say it wasn’t me, although i’d love to take the credit for it
I don't believe that - he must have knew his time was up with the hiring of Vinai who was a CEO at Woolwich and with all the backroom changes.
By all accounts he turned up for work as normal only to find himself locked out and all his personal belongings boxed up.
Not gonna deny it, I'd pay good money to see some cctv footage of the incident.
Me too. The whole thing, including when the roller sped away with wee baldy fighting back the tears.By all accounts he turned up for work as normal only to find himself locked out and all his personal belongings boxed up.

At least we got to see that with Margaret Thatcher.
I assume that there was a form of 'power struggle' going on for some time in regards to a lot of the club, but as "potential" owner of a 1/3rd of the company, it might have been that they exercised power/control that wasn't expected to be used.
When you get to calculating "we should eschew a corporate sponsor because that money is worth less than the independent brand value of the neutral placeholder name we chose in order to preserve sponsor value" you need to realize that you have your underlying assumptions wrong.
Levy believed he was leading and implementing a new, modern structure for the club with more autonomy and expertise devolved down from his office. What Team Lewis (correctly, undeniably correctly) came to understand was that those changes and that structure were always going to be a fiction as long as Levy was in charge, if for no other reason than the organizational inertia of him running everything.
Different things innit

Well no, because we aren't talking about "let's turn down £25m per year".
Anyone saying we've missed out on £100m is a moron. There was no £100m. No one was at the table.
The idea is that a self-named stadium was a promotion of the concept of 'this is how your name will end up out there', and using the club as the promotional name added far more value than accepting a lower naming rights deal considering the market.
The same "Team Lewis" who have assembled a clown show to run the club and are, by all reports, interviewing even more to join the inner circus?
Clearly they have good judgement.
Correct.
That the Levy dictatorship was no longer viable and that the implementation of something more fit for purpose is being done in a way that is very obviously naive and amateurish are both true, anyone who denies either pillar of that is misreading and misunderstanding the situation.
It does sound highly implausible. If he's like any top dog I've ever met, nobody else (apart from the police) would have even been able to get to some of his stuff.
If you have less faith than me, that they have any idea what they are doing
Then that’s some going
Then that’s some going
The BookKeeper: Exploring Tottenham’s worsening finances and how much relegation would hurt
Exploring why Spurs' finances have worsened, a change in ENIC's shareholding and what the impact of relegation would be on the club
www.nytimes.com
It reads like the club is in financial jeopardy, even if the relegation parts are ignored.
For a lot of people, it's "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
They do, they sacked Levy, nuf said.
And hired RDZ.
Things looking positive.
They also kept Frank on too long, sold and didn't replace johnson, left us hanging in the January window, hired Tudor, and so far have kept Lange and Venkatesham in.
But let's ignore that part...
Hired Tudor, coz RDZ was not available... Also had a reputation of doing good work in short amount...
Not to mention new owners coming in, take time to settle...
Not to forget the absolute shit show of a mess the club was in.
