He loves the club.
Not this one, THAT one…that should be enough to get him sacked as it is.

Presumably taking a very decent salary like all of our Board and directors. Whilst we pay the most expensive ticket prices in world football. Great innit.
Yeah, its all just a mess mate
I remember when we just had a chairman who kept out of the media and just did his job.
That was when we were a football club.

I don't really agree bringing up vinai is relevant to this particular game but I didn't like him from when he joined. Even without his history (which obviously is impossible to overlook) he has blatant gooner energy and would rather he fucked off.
Hes probably still in his office right now, which he's had decked out with red carpets and wallpaper drinking wine out of his Gooner branded wine glasses and laughing his cock off at us.
We did have until a few months ago. People would constantly bitch about him saying nothing and "hiding".....
.......And some things don't change now we have VV:
My issue is that he was absolutely everywhere early on when our moods were high, post cup win. He was talking about all the positive things that he and ENIC wanted to bring to us moving forward.
But now, when we're midway through a season, 13th in the league, churning out shit performance after shit performance, with Frank and the players taking serious heat from the fans, he's nowhere to be seen? It just makes him come across like a snake oil merchant who has done a runner now that we've all found out the hair serum he sold is actually just piss.
He was supposed to come in as a buffer between fans and the club. Aside from his cringey interview with Levy, he's done nothing of the sort.
The board might look different on paper, but seemingly nothing has, or will change.
Stick or twist sir?
Yeah I know... can't believe i said it myself...
Must admit last night tongue in cheek i said to my bro is he actually here to sabotage us?
He is indicative of the general disfunctionality of football. You see it across the professional game now. We were told since the turn of the century 'football is a business...football is a business...football is a business..." almost to indoctrinate fans so that many people simply repeated the mantra until they believed it uncritically. But the more accurate analysis is that football has been captured by business - private equity for example - and they run it like another asset. With one exception. An MBA or corporate experience gives you zero expertise in football, either playing it or coaching it. And yet such people are the self appointed executives who think they know a good player when they see one, or know what it takes or looks like to be a top coach. They get a chance to be the boss of a sport they were all crap at playing and don't really know much about, a kind of cosplay fantasy. The disasterous managerial appointments (Amorim, Frank, Postocoglou, Nancy, Potter etc etc etc), the awful transfer windows (Lange, Tisdale, Levy) and the general club policies smack of private equity making exec decisions on something they are clueless about. They share the positions out to each other like nepotistic musical chairs but never allow ex professionals who were at the top of the game to be in those positions and make those decisions. They do the same with education, healthcare, hospitals and transport systems. Imagine how well Spurs would be doing, the players they would have on the pitch, the style they would be playing in, if player scouting, transfers and technical directorship were in the hands of a Pleat, Redknapp or Carragher instead of these corporate gaslighters?
