So what's your point exactly. Are you saying we should all just shut up and let Levy & co have a free reign to what ever they like with our club unchallenged?

Not at all - people do what they feel they should do - but it's pretty pointless expecting it to have an effect on ENIC and Levy.
Say they bow to "fan pressure" and resign and sell up....... Who would you like to buy us that would do anything different?
An oligarch who just buys success? A billionaire who buys all the best players and we then win the Champions league, Premier League and FA Cup?
Would that satisfy the "real fans"?
Denise Coates, the owner of Bet365 is the gold standard to huge wages.
From 2016-2020 she's earned over £1.2 billion, in 2020 she was paid a total of £421m in wages and dividends. An average of £48,000 per hour, that's every hour of every day!
A 4m CEO salary for a 500m turnover company is not unusual ...
we wouldn’t even get into the FTSE 500 with a 500M revenue (400M next year by the way).
with all due respect, I imagine you started your biz from scratch rather than taking an operational role and weasling your way to a 20% stake
Not unusual? Really? ‘For the financial year ending 2019, FTSE 100 CEOs took home a median pay package worth £3.61M’

A complete outlier
Whilst I disagree with a lot you say (“not one brick” will never be forgotten I’m afraid) I do agree that accountability is absolutely key.
We can agree or disagree on how good/bad/indifferent we feel about ENIC but Levy got it absolutely right when he claimed to be merely a custodian of the club. That is exactly what he & his company are and will always be until they move on.
I have no goodwill left for them at all. They’ve done their bit and run their course.
Agreed.
Just a ludicrous amount of money for a single person to be paid.
Well I wouldn't say no better than the shit we have now.
Levy hasn't received any dividends on his shares for at least 10 years.
Neither has Enic/Lewis
As Harry Callahan might say
i’m all broken up about that man’s dividends
it was something like that iirc
Not fucking surprised with the increase in TV money exploding the clubs revenue
I don't get your point?
The club generates more revenue than it has ever done before, including the TV monies, and STILL no dividends are paid to the shareholders.
That's a good thing.
Never underestimate the fans....a united fan base and the shows over for the owners, of any club...
Ah right.
Wasn’t my point, but you are correct.
Does anyone have info or links to how bad the economic situation for PL clubs Championship clubs and foreign clubs really is ? I must admit I expected some clubs to start defaulting on something (debt, wages, taxes etc.) during the 20/21 season - but that hasn't really started it seems. And not many fire-sales either it seems.
Covid-19 kicks £2bn hole in football club finances
The world’s leading football clubs are set to miss out on over €2bn (£1.78bn) in revenue this season as a result of the economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic, according to analysis by Deloitte

Except the profit was from that year's trading so we didn't have it to spend until the year after - that's how economics work.
How much have Spurs invested in players in the last two seasons when the will have lost probably over 100m - if you can't understand how big business works you really shouldn't comment.
Spurs net transfer spend in the last five years is 226m .... is that still nothing?
You are living in the past just to keep your argument going. No question we should have spent more in the transfer market 2018 nobody would disagree but since then we've spent 260m on new players, did you miss that part or does it just not fit with your agenda?
You think that slagging off the club makes you a fan? You hide behind making it personal abuse against individuals within the club, but that's a coward's trick. If you think THFC is so shit why follow them? A fan will follow the club through good times and bad, will support them whether it's Scholar, Sugar, ENIC and whomsoever comes next, we will support Ramos, Allen, Redknapp, AVB, Sherwood, Poch, Mourinho, Mason whilst they manage our club, we will get behind each and every player wearing the Lillywhite no matter what.
Not sure what you call a person who spends their time cunting of the owners, the managers and the players on a Spurs website - but anyone must seriously have to question if you're a football fan at all. Let alone a Spurs fan.
