No.... Actually read the post, you ignornant troll.
Yeah I’m sure it was definitely almost certainly Blackburn that moved the goalposts and reneged - absolutely definitely something that Levy wouldnt try
Yup..... That'll be it.... That's 2 more sets of journos that Levy has on the payroll.
AFAIK just as were about to close the deal because BRFC desperately needed the dough Venky's got a cash injection and got ahem..cocky and chickened out of the deal.
Spursy.

No no, of course not.
Who mentioned payroll. Obv far more beneficial for a journo to have Spurs onside than Blackburn, I have no doubt our scumbags have leaked thisYup..... That'll be it.... That's 2 more sets of journos that Levy has on the payroll.
What about the CB Diaby from Leverkusen you mentioned the other day...?
Yeah, I'm sure that Levy told Blackburn that £3m was unacceptable and he wants to pay £4.5m plus another £5m add one.
That definitely sounds like something he would try.
Whilst the rhetoric is juvenile and moronic, there are a number of reasons fans have to be unhappy right now:-Why? All the time, like that's the default for them, why?
- We just finished 8th and missed out on Europe. This is well below our stature and financial status as a club and I think we all agree is unacceptable for us.
- After a really fruitful period, we’ve only attained top 4 once in the last 4 years and have finished out of the top 6 twice
- We haven’t had a manager for a full season since 18/19, a sign of the successive poor managerial choices we’ve made since Poch left.
- Our recent recruitment record has been awful
- We’ve won 1 trophy this century. I appreciate it’s gotten harder with the influx of foreign money, but that’s not good enough for Tottenham
- Ticket prices for fans are extortionate and I read the highest in the country. That doesn’t reflect what we see on the pitch
- After such a disappointing season last year, our transfer activity (in and out) has been pretty uninspiring thus far (I appreciate there are many weeks left in the window).
- One of our greatest ever players wants to leave because the club hasn’t been able to fulfil his ambition.
- Our club has appeared to lack any real strategy for success since Poch left.
Most of the failures noted sit under the remit of Levy, and whilst some of the comments made about him are utterly cringey, so is the way you,

seek to dismiss every single negative, or critique to a minute level to undermine them at least.I’ve never previously been ENIC or Levy out, and I'm still broadly comfortable with the way we run our club financially.
But surely we can all agree that Levy needs to be completely removed from all football-related decision making now? I know the new structure promotes this, but the fact everyone on the footballing side still reports to him is a concern for me.
I no longer have faith in him to make the footballing decisions needed to push our club in the right direction.

Levy will happily miss out on a player that everyone he employs is agreed will fill the biggest priority in the squad.
Not even about saving a few quid, if they won't give him the discount he wants, he walks, no matter how badly the football squad needs it.
He'd never do this with Uncle Joe's property business in a million years.
Wasn't he injured?
Bloody tiresome isn't it?No it’s not good, I don’t want to read pages of you lot arguing with each other

Exactly.
And there is no sign of any reaction or drive to do anything differently this summer. Ange may end up being what we all hoped he would but Levy is doing nothing differently to make it easier for him.
Not spending a penny on this club until things change and we see a team that can really challenge.
If I was and I could get a ticket to Brentford away, I'd be joining in with the Levy out songs.
I don’t think you understand the purpose of a contract or a release clause.
That’s a shame. I hear they’re missing the tenor in their barbershop quartet.

Noted and this is all well and good but...
Why is everything that goes wrong at the club down to Daniel Levy? Why for example can't it be the other side when it comes to negotiations stalling? Why was he getting blamed for our match being called off the other day? It's so boring, the same thing day in day out - it's the same boring tedious rhetoric..
Hence why people push back on it - there's just a general lack of critical thinking or any rationalisation or balance when it comes to Levy/ENIC - just a bunch of internet rude boys smashing their keyboards, yeah we get it you hate Daniel Levy etc... zzzz.
I mean you've literally just covered everything that's already been said here time and time again, we speak about this in the Levy/ENIC thread, that's what the thread is for, no-one wants to hear this shit in the Transfer thread.
You'd think that they'd bring up the mass sales of players to Saudi as part of the debate if they were truly serious about right and wrong.
Yemenis would likely agree.
You'd think they'd be plunging into the lack of millions going to Ukraine, as promised, after the sale of Chelsea happened.
I expect the Ukrainians would be more concerned with that than a Russian team buying a player.
Jim White is the biggest virtue signaller on the planet.

Well said GDG
One thing though. You rightly state that 2 trophies this century is (or would be) totally unacceptable for Tottenham Hotspur. But I'm only aware of 1
