    I mean from the starting point that Levy took over, I would not have imagined us in the CL, let alone running to the final. I think it’s exceptional that we managed it while building the infrastructure at the same time.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    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...

    This is interesting because Jol does sort of paint Levy as the caricature most do. And it’s an opinion you have to take somewhat seriously because he did work for the man for 3 years. The Suarez story has always been mad to me. Who on earth said that he was a similar player to VDV?

    I don’t think banning the fan had anything whatsoever to do with this to be honest. I think, when you consider all of the changes to the structure that have clearly been in the works for a while, that it’s quite mad to think so. There’s no video because ENIC have to craft a narrative that the...

    ENIC

    I don’t read it as moaning, more just critical of the reporting. I think it’s factual that a one off 100m investment is not going to meaningfully change much for us. It’s helpful, sure. But it’s not a game changer.

    I really agree with all of that too. I would have loved to have won everything with Levy, and it’s cruel that we came so close in the PL and CL and didn’t quite get there. With that said, I agree that getting to the next level under him is the open question. And again it’s cruel in a way…maybe...

    It’s a real shame, but I think it’s the last few years post Poch that got him into this reputational territory. Before that, he had some detractors, but I think most people saw the good and bad and on balance could see what an unarguably phenomenal job he had done. Post Poch and post stadium...

    I think we’ll be ok. Change is always a bit nerve racking but as Frank says ‘if you don’t take risks, you take a risk’ and I think its important that we continue to try and push on. Levy has given us an amazing platform to push on from here with. Oodles of PSR headroom, and so much space to...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I really agree. In an attempt to seem balanced most journos seem to have gone with ‘good off field, bad on field’ which is clearly not the picture at all. I’m waiting for a good one to write the perspective of explaining why there is absolutely no reason that we shouldn’t be Everton. Or Villa...

    Yeah…I don’t buy that the kids have suddenly taken an interest. I guess maybe there is a fair argument that with Pops stepping back, they can now exert their authority a bit more, and can bring fresh ideas on how to maximise their investment in Spurs. But it’s also clear that ENIC created the...

    I wonder if US soccer with its salary caps would be his ideal playground. He could build the profile and infrastructure of a club, and wouldn’t need to be figuring out ways to combat the entrants like City and Chelsea. He would be more of a level playing field where his long term view could be...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Agreed - they’re going to have to bring that success now that they’ve set that bar for themselves. And to be fair, I think they will at least signal a step change in how we operate in the footballing side. The way we moved this summer was different. Maybe the MGW and Eze experiences were...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    OTOH, an example of why having a different person in charge going forward might be good, it’s the little things that mean bigger things like Hugo’s story of getting a watch engraved with ‘Finalist’. On one hand, I HATE that this was a story that came out and was used as a stick to beat Daniel...

    The other thing that makes this more brutal / ruthless is that ENIC would absolutely not be in a position to benefit from the value of the club growing like it has, with the potential to push further on from here, were it not for Daniel Levy. There would not have been another person on the...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I think it’s really gonna be ok. I think there is absolutely space for a little bit more risk taking, a little bit more short termism, without putting the sustainability of the club into doubt. It’s perfectly possible that someone else making the decisions that Daniel used to have the...

    This is an interesting one. I’ve always hated when Levy has let a manager go and the club has listed all the things that went wrong as reasons why, because they have to get their narrative out there. And now the shoe is on the other foot for him in that sense. It’s a shame, because in the same...

    If ENIC were going to sell, they could just sell. I’m not sure why they would appoint Vinai if they were going to sell imminently. It feels to me like they want to keep it rolling, but in a new phase. Charrington in for Levy without the VV appointment, I would say it’s likely that we sell. As...

    History will for sure be kind to him. He’ll be a caricatured figure to people who don’t really get it. But to look at where our club was when he came in, to where it is now, and the foundations he has set for where it can go now…it’s one of the best sporting achievements I can think of.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I see where you’re coming from, but I don’t think we need to be too worried about sustainability going out the window just because Daniel steps down. I think the fact is he was probably so much on the conservative end, so much thinking about the long term, that we can click the dial along...
