The sooner Premier League football resumes (be it behind closed doors or otherwise) the better, top-flight English football doesn’t fare too well under close examination when it comes to goings-on off the grass.
Mr. Levy’s year has been a testing one. Whilst there have been “Levy/ENIC out” noises in the past, it’s fair to say that mood online has become increasingly fragile, with questions now being asked about the plans for the squad, opposed to the sainted infrastructure of the business model.
Recently we’ve had comments from Kieran Trippier that weren’t great, the booting of Poch who wasn’t backed, the warning about future transfer budgets… and the cherry on the guano cake has undoubtedly been the club claiming state aid.
Now, Victor Wanyama is alleging that he was engineered out the door at Spurs, who wouldn’t even afford him reserve games to prove his fitness, after returning from injury. At a time when our midfield was quite frankly in a state of flux.
In the words of Glenn Frey, “The heat is on”.
If he really said that, after the team neglect, that is almost humourous.. Gotta keep up the world record profits. Don’t ensure to try and win anything though!
Can’t reply on other thread… Owen was ballon dor at 21, shame his knee injury compromised him.. Going back to cristiano ronaldo he did make giggs and scholes look average. The crowd went silent when he had the ball. Thats why he was soon off to madrid for a then world record fee.. James who you compared him to is no ronaldo man. Very few players are world class as teens, some get better, some decline. Many factors play a part. Ronaldos skill was phenomenal too you didnt mention his key attribute. Pure mesmerising skill and tricks that only ronaldinho was pulling off before him.. Predicting goats is one thing, who is the goat is another…. Now dele has had a bad season (like they all have) but the lads already proven he is a player. 50 prem goals before hazard, scholes, gerrard,, and he did it in a levy spurs team which is all the more impressive. Like I said he will bounce back.
Lewis owns tavistock group with more than 200 assets across 10 countries. Restaurants, pubs, hotels, properties, even an Australian agriculture firm. The guy is worth around 4.7billion according to forbes. When you are that rich you pay people to do the work for you. A multi million pound investment to him is just one of many pies… Levy is the boss at spurs and calls all the decisions. If Lewis cared about football and winning then he would have invested in great players like the chavski and city did and still do. If lewis gives levy any guidence at all then it’s how to make money.
These toxic parasites have sucked the soul out of our club for the last two decades. This is yet a further indication of the festering boil they are on the heritage of our great club. I loathe them with a vengeance and long for the day that they are cut away from the flesh of THFC. The stench of ENIC and Levy pervades every inch of the club and is manifest in every decision they take. An empty Latrine stadium is a fitting tribute to the bile of their existence. The government should without hesitation deny tax payers money to these blood sucking vermin. They shame everything about our club and what its traditions represent.
Liverpool have reversed the decision to use the government scheme to to pay staff. Right sir, Daniel Levy do the right thing. Spurs should also reverse their decision or this will be a stain we’ll never remove. When you find yourself in the same company as Mike Ashley you should be worried. We are all waiting. I’d love to order some stuff from the club shop to help the club and keep people in a job but our chairman’s behaviour is making me hesitate. This club stands for something with a proud history of being a refuge for refugees, and it has it’s faults, as Tappaspur said it wasn’t always a warm house for black people, but Mr Levy you have a chance to be on the right side of history, the choice is yours.
Was with clasford sterling MBE earlier and his boy Jude. They escaped their homes and were on the boardwater farm pitchs with a bucket a mud and some spades🌚 them man know the ins and outs of the game man, especially jude (classy on the off pitch stuff) jude played pro for over ten different clubs) nuff nuff stories. His throw in for mk dons has to be the funniest throw in ever. Check it out on YouTube. Clasford has Levy’s personal number. Spurs recently took another one of ours, eleven year old. 267 pro’s from the broad water farm academy and counting. youts that may’ve ended up god knows where. CLASFORD STERLING MBE FOR LAMMYS JOB. 🌚 Paul once is over here occasionally. Managed Jude at Macclesfield. Top bloke too
No matter how much I despise Levy, I really do not know how this will adversely affect the brand. Come next week the furlough story will be forgotten by the masses and there’ll be another story to jump on. Only the few remember. The debacle on the pitch will do more harm, fortunately that is on hold because we were falling off a cliff without Kane, Sissoko and Son. If the first few results are positive when we finally get under way and we are back in the top 5 race (if City do actually get banned) it will all be forgotten. If history tells us anything, Levy comes out smelling of roses, it’s the manager who gets the bullet.
Scunny. You’re still rubbish🌚. Played bunched up back then didn’t they. Loved the cotton kits.
Great stuff, long before money took over
It’s not day to day advice but Joe Lewis knows what is going on. He asked Pochettino to ensure that Spurs were in the Champions League when they took possession of the new stadium.
A super Spurs team, the famous push and run team which won Spurs first ever Division One title. The goal scorer Duquemin was from the Channel Islands, Nicholson and Ramsey Ron Burgess and Eddie Bailey who Bill Nicholson said was the best passer of a ball he had ever seen and a future Spurs coach and who signed on at the Labour Exchange the same day Spurs let him go.
Damaged their reputation, the Premier League title is looking a bit soiled.

It’ll be very interesting to see fan reaction when football resumes and whether current general disenchantment will be replaced by refreshed enthusiasm.
Not talking just Spurs here but the Prem in general. Players cant be blamed for taking the massive bucks buts its a sin and this virus simply magnifies the unfairness when you think of the people putting their lives at risk for us and are on a pittance.
You just wonder how much guidance Levy gets from Lewis and whether He goes to him on the big decisions for advice, after all Lewis is essentially his boss. If I had a multi-million pound investment I think I’d like to be at least a little hands on.
Levy has been impervious to criticism but plenty of people in the media have finally got wise to him, and furloughing the non-playing staff was the icing on the cake. Levy has made Enic and himself a lot of money on their original investment but it is and always has been a toxic regime. He has caused collateral damage to the brand and Joe Lewis will not like that. When a brand is seriously damaged by the behaviour of it’s CEO, it’s normally game over. Gerald Ratner and Philip Green spring to mind. Joe Lewis hasn’t made all that money to stand by and see his investment collapse in value.
Last week’s cherry on the guano cake seems to have confirmed a pre-existing impression of levy (outside enic fanboy circles.) This is from today’s Guardian…
“So what would Shankly do in a global pandemic that threatens to bring the economy and the health system to its knees? The answer, it’s safe to say, would not involve piggybacking on a government scheme to stop mass unemployment when you are one of the world’s richest clubs.
True, Newcastle and Spurs did just that last week BUT BY NOW WE KNOW WHO MIKE ASHLEY AND DANIEL LEVY ARE. Liverpool are supposed to be different.”

We will have to watch how Victor fares with his new team to judge that injuries effects, to me the fact that he was transferred to a Canadian team speaks volumes. As regards Levy he has said he pays no heed to criticism but making the pages of the Telegraph and Sunday Times and not in a good way won’t go down well. Reputation counts for a lot in the world of the super rich and Levy is edging ever closer to the Philip Green end of the scale.
Wanyama used to be a half decent player alongside Dembele,but it was Pochettino who watched him train everyday and only gave him a game every few months.The chances he was afforded he didn’t impress and his second touch was more often a tackle. Pochettino instructed Levy to sell him but Wanyama backed away from several deals which in turn caused the animosity between them. Trippier was sold because in his words he hadn’t played well enough.With the current situation of no football,some people will put 2 & 2 together to make a story.
