Thanks for posting. As you say, bit of a puff piece.
Good to see Vinai finally speaking. He seems a bit younger than I expected, which probably shows my age.
Some of the sideways glances and subservience made my skin crawl a bit, but that's just me.

Great reputation, apparently great at getting to issues quickly and getting things in order, great record of fan communication, my mate said he is a "very joined up thinker" which is what we need.

The proof will be in the eating but I like the guy from what I have seen and yes it was a puff piece video, but he was came across very well

Vinai comes across well.
Obviously says all the right things. A bit of a puff piece on Levy at the end which will no doubt infuriate some.
It does seem that they get on very well. Hopefully that translates into the work environment.
Also clear that the search for an Ange replacement had been going on for a while. Vinai did add the words "at speed", but there's no way you analyse the characteristics of 30 potential replacements in such short order.

All in all, augurs well for the future, imo.

Yes, unless everyone and everything says "Levy is a clam" people will (already have, even in this thread) go around the bend

I fudging swear, everyone in this world needs a boogeyman/spacegoat for all their personal disappointments now
 
Interesting video.

On Vinai - am I to assume as he is more involved in day to day operational and football matters, that Levy will be a bit more removed from this? So could see a bit of a change in strategy? Eg we still won’t have the most money to spend in the League, but maybe there’s an approach of taking a calculated risk more at the right time? Will that signal any change there?

On DL - I really do believe he is a good person that wants the best for the club. I genuinely believe so much of the - particularly personal - criticism against him is wide of the mark. I believe him when he says he wants success. He’s said exactly what I’ve been thinking - I want us to realistically have a chance of winning the Premier League. My question is, does he truly understand what it takes to get there? Will the club really do what it takes? Or are we hoping to get lucky?

I think my hope is that Vinai is a weighty enough hire that can actually challenge Levy in the right ways, and mark a meaningful change in our approach to win the league. I understood that his background at Arsenal was more on the commercial side, and Arsenal were hardly bastions of risk taking. So there’s my potential concern. That said, every club is different, every club has its own context and challenges and specific problems to solve. Maybe they are a great combination and Vinai is the right sort of challenge and change to the way we’ve done things.

They are both clearly smart, both want the best, and I hope we really do get to a point of realistically challenging for the league. Fingers crossed.
