Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

I get the financials jiggery pokery BUT if Levy owns 25% of THFC, he's minted with generational money. One could worry about that, but probably why bother?

No doubt he’s wealthy but not anywhere near Joe Lewis. Premier league vs low leagues - League 3 wealth.

Moreover if Joe Lewis and family wanted to, they have the majority shareholding and resources to dilute Levys Enic shares, using investment as the means. More likely, and less contentious (and less open to legal challenge) is to just work it out with Levy buying out part or all of his holding.

I think you've said this before?

It might not be that there has to be a hotel.....just that the development,if you start it, has to be finished by the time the tournament comes round.

Seems extremely unlikely to me that UEFA would worry about there being a few 3 or (max) 4 star hotel rooms in Tottenham as a stipulation of the stadium hosting games.

Also seems ridiculous logic for people to suggest canceling the hotel shows football priorities when less than a month ago the artwork was released for the new residential towers.

That doesn't square for me

Unless all those projects are cancelled then it's just twitter bluetick nonsense

I've said more than enough over the years about all his flaws. You all know my stance on that.

But on the day of his departure, I'll instead highlight some of the things I always respected him for - despite what some of you chaps might think. :)

1. He always kept the club stable, even when there was gigantic pressure on him to spend money he felt the club did not have / was not in a position to spend. It takes balls to put the club's stability first in that sense even when 60,000 fans are singing abuse at you for doing so.

2. He was and is a normal, law-abiding, honest chap - in a world where his counterparts are various forms of gangsters, murderers and dictators, that in itself is a mark of decency.

3. He cared about the club, in his own way. He attended nearly every game, rain or shine, for 25 years - personally worked extremely long hours on the stadium project, and fought bitterly to avoid us being taken advantage of by richer rivals.

4. His consistency helped us overtake clubs that were our peers when he took over - Everton, Villa, Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Leeds et al. Though many have since bounced back and enjoyed better seasons than us, our long-term revenue surpasses all of those clubs by a wide margin, and it is in part, down to him.

5. Set up, and took pride in, the charity work we do - his frequent references to the work the Spurs Foundation does in the local area is a credit to him and his concern for the community.

Au revoir, Daniel Levy. Thank you for all the good you did for the club, and here's to you - you'll always be welcome back.

Rubbish that I can’t even be bothered ploughing through. You’ve been totally against him. That’s fine, that’s your opinion and prerogative. But don’t try to change the narrative now.

I was going to post something the other day (before this major event came to light), that I'm liking the new defragged Dubai :).

You've recalibrated, rebalanced, and set off along a new pathway. Well that's how it comes across...and I mean that all sincerely mate.

Hope you're in a good place
