The only owner that Levy is probably wealthier than is Matthew Benham. He's not going to get the funds through loans to make a difference.

Thought he came across well in the video of DL and him. He's confident and sees room for improvement in our club. And he's experienced enough to challenge DL - which is why he was hired.

Only IF Levy is still pulling the strings, I'm not so sure he is.

If you don’t believe that Levy is still not ultimately responsible …. I think you would be mistaken. That video was a PR stunt, executed very well.
Hey look it’s us we are chums, we enjoy wine, we want success, we sacked Ange, it’s not only levy who made that choice so don’t blame him because he really works hard, we want to win the premier league, we can go above our level…
This should give you fans some hope. Season tickets need to be sold.
I’m just your cynical spurs fan … this is what the club has done to me

Of course you're right, it is a PR stunt, but Vinai will want success on the field as well as commercially, so it should bode well....

Just watched the 'first day' video. I thought it interesting that Levy is nowhere to be seen in it.

if anyone sees an article with a greater explanation of the breakdown of Vinai’s role, I’d love to read it. The video was great, he’s so smooth and articulate, and I feel like we have a genuine big hitter running the club. A big brain with high EQ. I can get behind that.
The thing that I still don’t quite understand is that they were at pains to say they’d make every decision together. I really want to understand what specifically we have hired Vinai for. Where are the gaps he is filling? How does he complement Levy? Is he just saving Levy time, or his he genuinely there to own things that Levy wouldn’t, or push Levy to make decisions that he wouldn’t have made on his own?
Vinai would not have taken this job to just be a second opinion for Levy. He’d want some autonomy or some understanding of where his skills can drive the club forward, some aspect they haven’t had before. I’d love to know more about what that is exactly, beyond the slick video.

He's the CEO mate, he runs everything with oversight from chairman, staff will report into him vs. Levy, so likely Lange, Frank, even Paratici if he comes in will be subject to some kind of metrics/performace evaluation from Vinai
I'm not being a dingdong, but it's very normal for any Exec to require regular sign off from board, but you can have a 1B budget as an executive, but strategy and spend (over much smaller amounts) sign off on major expenses will still go to board/chairman revue, this is how every company works.
