    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Mate. Just look at your first reply to me again...

    I guess that's been a fairly consistent criticism of Levy? He's not a "football man" so he's unable to accurately evaluate which of the football men would be worth hiring and at what cost? Leading to poor recruitment of the people doing the footballer recruitment at times? Interestingly an area...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    OK. I thought when you quoted what I said about Levy in the Levy thread the point you were making was related to the conversation about Levy.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Think the lads on the pod were spot on when they say we're the only team to break into that "top 4" with any consistency without huge outside investment in the team or nearly bankrupting ourselves in the process. The "top 4" isn't as locked in as it once looked, it's more in flux and there's...

    Fully expect our spending overall to remain similar unless there's a cash injection, partial takeover or something like that. Already this summer spending more on wages seems to be a thing, as it was always going to be imo. Also hope we keep prioritising young players with big potential to...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Will be interesting to see if there will be tangible changes from Levy in charge. Obviously if there's a significant cash injection that can change how we operate. But other than that? I'm guessing we could see more "decisive" transfer business? Be willing to pay more (wages and transfer fees)...

    So that nuance, looking at other things in addition to trophies is valid for players, coaches and managers, but not chairmen in your opinion?

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    So based on that Pochettino, Conte and Mourinho were equally (non) successful Spurs managers? With Ange being very successful (two years, one big trophy). Does the same apply to talking about players? Kane, Modric, Bale all non successful here. Tel super successful (half a season, one trophy)...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Not sure I'd describe myself as loyaly by his side, but I've been positive on him overall for sure. Gratitude for what he's done. Hopeful that whatever happens next they'll be able to build on the work already done. Slight concern about what will actually happen. Big changes at football clubs...

    I very much agree that trophies matter. But I think for those clubs when having poor spells, and us, getting back to fairly consistent CL participation is seen by most fans as really important and a step in the right direction. Those trophies weren't enough for those coins unless it was also...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I don't think you'll find many Spurs fans (if any) here or elsewhere that wouldn't take a league win and 3rd/4th/5th over consistency at 2nd/3rd over that time. But consistent top 4 gives a significantly increased chance of getting there than being consistently mid table. That's progress...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I see those back and forth sparked by people saying positive things about Levy (on the football side) too. I think we've improved and kicked on several times, but we've also had periods of decline and examples of not kicking on. I think we're a big club. Not the size of the biggest clubs in...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I think your description of what contributes to "ridiculous back and forths" is rather one sided. The narrative from some here, in the meda and elsewhere in the Spurs community seems to be Levy did really well on the business side, not so well on the football side. Some, including me on here...

    Click. (Read this post game of his first start). (I know I'm being overly and prematurely confident on this)

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    May be that Frank values that higher, but I think his Brentford team valued physical attributes very highly. I think it's more a result of the weaknesses of the squad being in those areas going into the window.

    I'd copy a definition of the word context here, but you'd probably take it out of context.

    Did your notice the word "consistently" in my post?

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Absolutely. Many such examples around Europe too imo. The comparison is almost always to how it could have been better on the pitch with no reflection on how it actually could have been much worse.

    Sure, if you ignore context.

    Seems rather obvious that no one is claiming otherwise.
