If you think Levy out chants didn't add to the haste then you are naive. At the end of the day you don't know brick, as any of us do.

The club operate the way we do and the rest of it is pure speculation and opinion.

We would have known what his demands were during the summer. I wouldnt be surprised, not that I know, that patarici stormed out of the man United game and made the call.
 
Looks more and more that Nuno was a more interim than anyone imagined. Whether Levy got played by Paratici and Conte or Conte played both of them we'll never know.

The conspiracy theorist in my would like to think this was all part of or DOF's plan.

Or that someone as smart as Levy gives even a fraction of a fudge what a few halfwits on the terraces think.

I think the truth is in the middle of the muddle of it all.

I can’t understand why Nuno didn’t play 3 at the back, because the squad looks instantly deep and well suited to it. Not to say we can’t improve, but it looks like what it has been built for.

I think Nuno was an appointment because as other people have said, we needed a manager to start the season. I don’t think fans, media, players would have accepted losing Jose before a cup final and not having a manager when pre season started, no matter how understandable it was that certain candidates we wanted couldn’t come. So we had to do something. It was a swing with Nuno and a swing for him, why not see if we can get a credible 5th with our squad and enhance his reputation with better players after Wolves rather than go to Palace? But when it wasn’t working, strike for Conte. The squad just seems made for him. I’m not surprised we decided that we made the move. Nuno needed results that were 7.5 out of 10 at least to keep the job, given the circumstances in which he got it. He didn’t do a bad job, but he needed to be doing very obviously and unarguably a good one on a results basis. That he wasn’t did for him, but that was the bargain he made.
 
Levy's confession...

"Since opening the stadium in April 2019, we've spent almost 400 million pounds on players. Player spending is no guarantee of success, and our focus must be on improved recruitment, coaching, fitness and a competitive mindset," Levy said.

Stops short of accepting blame for his and Hitchen's work, the three transfer window embargo, Nuno who is not attack minded and the inability to offload deadwood players.


That said, imagine if Man U got Paratici and Conte.... The only way is up now, I suppose.

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has travelled to the Bahamas to meet with the club’s owner Joe Lewis on the billionaire’s luxury boat as head coach Antonio Conte waits to find out the size of their ambition.

Telegraph Sport understands Tottenham have held talks with a number of individuals and companies regarding potential investment into the club, while Levy will have also used the trip to discuss the size of the club’s January transfer budget.

Although the club will not comment on Levy’s whereabouts or the nature of the visit, it is understood he has been spending time in the Bahamas, where he has held several meetings with Lewis, on the 84 year-old’s boat, that could prove key to Conte’s plans.

Lewis lives in the Bahamas, where he owns a luxury golf resort, and rarely makes personal appearances at Tottenham, while Levy also owns expensive property on the island, where he holidays with his family.

Telegraph Sport last month revealed that the richest man in Singapore, Forrest Li, was recently a guest of Levy at a Spurs game and was given a tour of the stadium. Li, whose net worth is estimated at £15 billion, is the chairman and chief executive of consumer internet company Sea.

Sources close to Li have denied that he travelled to England to discuss potential investment into Tottenham, but he is described as being a friend of Levy and there has been new interest from America in putting money into Spurs.

Levy has missed Tottenham’s last four games, including the sobering Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg defeat to Chelsea after which Conte described Spurs as being “middle” and claimed the team’s level had dropped “a lot”.

That assessment made its way back to Levy and Lewis, and it is now up to the pair to plan how Tottenham can start to close the gap on their Premier League rivals and give Conte the best possible chance of making them more competitive.

Levy’s absence has not held up Tottenham’s plans for this month, with the club's managing director of football Fabio Paratici opening talks over a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers star Adama Traore.

Traore is yet to sign a new contract with Wolves, who are understood to be open to allowing him to leave for around £20 million this month. Tottenham are hopeful of completing a deal, having failed with a bid last summer.

Conte sees Traore filling the right wing-back role in his team and adding some much-needed pace and dynamism to the Tottenham squad.

The fact Levy has left Paratici to initiate Tottenham’s moves in the January transfer window would suggest he has taken a step back from the club’s recruitment which he admitted must improve.

But Levy is not expected to hand over full responsibility to Paratici, with the expectation he will become involved if and when deals get close to completion.

The last line of that article worries me….

Additionally, if outside investment does come in, I really hope it comes via a cash injection into the club with ENIC diluting their holding as opposed to ENIC simply selling a share.
