This blog has more or less continuously savaged Daniel Levy for the duration of his stewardship of the club. It’s something that thick people have always struggled with.
The examples of Levy’s damaged way of running a football club are plentiful, however there are usually red lines ruling what can or cannot be published. Too much detail could identify the source and some people have long term relationships with the club.
An unnamed source once described to me an invitation, by telephone, from the club, to be involved in an on-pitch presentation at half time for a game. This was accepted.
However, as the conversation developed, it was made clear that the club was expecting the individual to ‘make themselves known to a steward’ and they would be escorted to the right spot. The club wasn’t paying for a match ticket.
There are far too many other examples of not just cheapness, but mean spiritedness inflicted by the Bald One.
This cropped up today via the Daily Mail and is also worth sharing.
When Tottenham bought Luka Modric, the then Dynamo Zagreb boss, Mamic, got to experience Levy’s warmth, first hand…
This isn’t capable. This is wholly deranged. This is on a par with Great Thunberg’s selective mutism when she first heard about Climate Change.
Meanwhile, in the real world, teams like Liverpool are paying market rate for players, nailing down player contracts so that everyone’s pulling in the right direction. Oh, and waving the European Cup about.
Our boy Levy once knocked the price of 5 replica shirts off a €23million invoice. Hurrah.
