Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

[ricky2tricky4city]

It's up to the board to hear negotiations for a full sale? They can do a deal to sell their own shares but not the club as a whole. That deal would have to be presented to all shareholders by the board then voted on by the shareholders. As with cain hoy.

Or have i got that wrong?

I think if the acquirer is buying a big enough stake (can't remember the percentage) ...they can 'squeeze out' the minority shareholder and force those shsrehooders to sell their shares at the offer price. I might be corrected in this.

I don't think just ENIC shares would be at a level to enact this. Maybe not even ENIC + Levy shares

I believe if they offer a price for a certain percentage of the shares they have to offer the deal to all shareholders. It would be up to the shareholders if they sell or not. Sothe buyer could be forced to buy all the shares.

The things I've really struggled with when it comes to any negativity for Levy is:

I've no doubt he is as big a Spurs fan as anyone on here.

I've no doubt that what he has achieved with the club financially (his expertise) is beyond the capability of all the people who dislike him.

He comes across as a nice person according to anyone who has met him.

People need to accept that he is not that good at the football side but if he was to swap his footy expertise with his finance expertise we would be in the championship.

And the main point is he is a Spurs fan. Hardcore. And a nice chap by all accords. Hating him is irrational and extreme.

Grow the fek up you melons.

I agree with a lot of that, and absolutely agree with your conclusion.

But I think he was good at the football side. If he wasn't, we would have been Leeds/Villa/Sheffield Wednesday.

Seems the clubs taken legal action against CFT for supplying those email addresses and encouraging spam.

People on the internet realsing there are consequences for their actions.
Don't be a dingdong. Whether your views are political or whatever.

Someone actually warned them too and they laughed it off. Silly

Maybe I could have said he wasn't elite at football compared to his absolute godly ability at money stuff

 

[Finney Is Back]

Ok, The League Cup came in in 1964, so thats 61 years not 40 so I wasn't sure on what was being got at. Cool

I suppose what I was getting at is that the difference isn't a 'rounding error' as Baleforce had said. It is actually quite significant (a trophy every 3.63 years on average versus a trophy every 12.5 years).

 

[Muttley]

No
He isn’t a player
He hasn’t performed on the pitch

I'm a bit divided actually.

That stadium is his legacy and it would be a nice way to recognise his hard work at the club. By all accounts, he almost made himself ill by the amount of house he put in on the project, especially when the issues happened and we were experiencing delays. The stadium and training ground are really positive ways of thinking about Levy.

Perhaps we need a Daniel Levy stand. Make those stupid "Levy Out" protesting pricks sit in it with a murial of him behind them.

Good at the football side can mean different things at different times.

Getting us back consistently in Europe while building a world class stadium and training ground. And getting a couple of title challenges and a CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL appearance during that period. I wouldn’t say that’s just good, I’d say it’s downright exceptional. Never when I first started supporting Spurs did I imagine seeing us in the CL, let alone making it to the final. Yes the coaching staff and the players contributed to that. But if DL is taking the criticism for any lack of success, he can take the praise for those runs too.

Equally, pushing on to be a consistent title challengers, playing the game as it now is with the group of owners he is now competing with, leveraging the resources of the world class infrastructure he helped build for us…I think there were open questions there.

Agree with the first bit.

Don’t think the second bit is possible without cheating.

Just had a look at this and they are calling each other snakes and snitches ha

Didn't they have to give someone up to the club as he was arranging a visit to Levys

The show is fairly entertaining TBF haha

I guess age is a factor here. As a young kid I always thought of us as the traditional top 5 with Pool, Arse, Utd and Everton. That made me believe. As a kid, experience the early eighties cup wins was fun. Coventry hurt like crazy but I still expected us to compete at the top. I remember going to school (on the train) at about 16. On the back page of the Daily Mirror was the Waddle to Marseille story. I was devastated. We'd lost Hoddle in 87 and in 89 we were losing Waddle.

I think there are the fans like my dad who remembers the double winning side and the Bill Nich years. Then there is my generation that really started with Burkenshaw. After that, so much of it is a daze until Harry and Poch gave us belief again. The only other respite of course was Venables. For me, the best manager we've had in my lifetime. Eclipses the rest. Gave me such a great night at Wembley as well watch Gazza and co dismantle the Dutch in 96.

£600/£700m will do him IMO

Wow. Where have you seen that?
Have to say it doesn’t seem that giving out publicly available email addresses, with advice to keep messaging respectful, would have much basis for legal action. Although if there have been some seriously abusive or threatening emails maybe that gives grounds for encouraging the messaging. Seems tenuous though.
Oh well. At least they can’t blame Levy now.

They would only be able to fill a small part of the stand, not enough of them to do otherwise.

Martin Samuel in the Times...
As a sidenote it's quite funny reading the West Ham bit after the Levy bit....the woes and moans of football fans. Every club a micron away from discontent ...no matter how well you're doing and your relative position.

A lot of that makes sense and echoes my thoughts.
I have a niggly feeling that his leaving is due to something in his personal life.
Hope I'm wrong.
