Right, exactly. And the reason things are different now than they were in 2012 or whatever is that the business goals and methods of the club are no longer compatible with the way the sporting part of the club is run.Let's be fair, Spurs have a long term vision, but it's a corporate one. One that gives little weight to the reality that footballing success, above everything else, drives growth.
The jig is up for Levy, it's time to cash out.
Honestly I think Levy just kind of naively believes that if he puts the right structure and personnel in place, they will make the right decisions all the time and there won't be any tension he swings in on a chandelier to resolve.So I think you may be right if you are saying that all the rejigging is indeed not serious, not with any real intent or belief, and maybe even just a cynical way of trying to sell another bit of hope that 'this time it will be different' to the customers/fans.
Levy's absolute worst characteristic is his inability to learn from his mistakes, he's a serial repeater of errors. That's why I go nuts when people assess the situation under an assumption he'll change - he never has and he never will.
