    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/inside-daniel-levys-tottenham-tenure-32430501.amp Really interesting interview with BMJ about Levy - this is probably one of the most in-depth pieces Ally Gold had put out in a long time. Lots of great insights into how...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    For sure. Much will depend on the financials changing, which we will only be able to see going forward. If it turns out there was indeed an injection of funding this year, it marks only the second or third time they've done this in their 25-year history, the previous one being in summer 2022...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    For sure mate - and remember, him leaving doesn't mean he can't also get his narrative out. Counter-snippets emerging from Martin Samuel at The Times that Levy apparently feels he was operating with one hand tied behind his back in terms of owner backing from the Lewises, which forced him to be...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Feels like it mate. Too much smoke for there not to be a fire, and it tallies with that spate of reports earlier this year about him wanting to stay on in any takeover. Feels like that wouldn't necessarily be what any new buyer would want, since they would want to stamp their own vision on their...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Sami Mokbel and the Beeb reporting that he was forced out - seem like it wasn't his choice, Vivienne and Charlie Lewis made the call along with Joe Lewis's grandson, Nick Beucher. Apparently due to 'a lack of on-pitch success'.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    T Thanks mate - genuinely, thank you for the empathy. Like I said, even when we were arguing, you were my supports that I relied on in dark times - and I'll always be grateful to you and others for it. :)

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Not that simple mate. You're totally right that I disliked many things about how he ran the club. I also respected some things about it. But I was in a bad place generally and let too much of that negativity take over in the way I talked about the guy. Negativity that also affected how I viewed...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    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...

    Squad

    Well, I don't think we're quite at that level because of the weaker first eleven compared to that one. That first eleven was the best since 1961. Any Spurs side is going to struggle being compared to peak Poch Spurs - that season in 2016-17 when we were blowing teams away for fun. But the...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Exactly - kid has a great head on his shoulders, and top-flight Bundesliga football is a great environment to learn and grow in. He'll be back next year stronger for the experience, and I suspect we'll move one of Danso/Dragusin out to make way for him if he grows the way he's been doing so far.

    Luka Vuskovic

    Thanks for taking the time mate - super informative, and glad Hamburg supported Mario Vuskovic through that ordeal. Happy Luka is going to a great club where he'll be valued. :)

    Bryan Gil

    Good kid - stayed professional, certainly no shortage of effort or endeavour. Just wasn't cut out for the PL - lots of players with his slight build face that issue, and the number of players who can overcome that and succeed is low for a reason. For us, can only really think of Modric who fit...

    Randal Kolo Muani

    Yep. Think it will be in that range - for context, Juve signed Lois Openda on a similar straight loan from Leipzig for just slightly less (in euros, think it's 4m for a straight loan with a 40m option).

    Randal Kolo Muani

    Weell, that's not always true. Bowen regularly smashes it for West Ham and would probably be uber-expensive, but they haven't really done anything since the Conference League win a few years ago. Possible for the player to do well even when the club doesn't. In fact, exact same thing happened...

    Spurs Summer transfer window 2025 - roundup and review

    For sure - that's what I meant re: Xavi being both lucky and a well-executed move. It was lucky that he stayed available until the end of the window, and then got sick enough of waiting for Chelsea that we were able to sneak in, sell him on our project and get him signed up in 24 hours (or so it...
