    I'm not concerned all that much. The single most important thing for our future, is to loosen his and Lewis's corrosive grip over the club. Absolutely nothing else matters. If we're indeed bought by rich investors on the condition that he stays on as chairman on a 'long-term contract', that's...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Fair enough mate. But take Arsenal as a yardstick (for example). They were worth $1.2B in 2009 as per Forbes. They are worth $2.4B now according to the same organization. Despite being far less competitive now than they were in the 2000's (when they only had United and Chelsea to compete with)...

    For sure mate, and it was in the back of my mind as I made that comment. I am convinced more players than just Eriksen have either agitated to leave, or just refused to join, because of the disparity between how grudgingly we treat our players and how well our leader pays himself.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    The average salary of a FTSE 100 CEO is £4.2M mate. Levy pays himself 50% more than the average salary for the leaders of Britain's biggest companies. Again - you could take any one of them, swap them out with Levy, and have a comparative or better level of performance. And that's with zero...

    Sure, but the thing about valuation mate, is that you need to prove that the additional valuation is because of Levy being there, versus just the general explosion in value across the Premier League in that time frame. Being an ever present in the Premier League has boosted our value. Our run...

    Good to hear mate. Long may it continue.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    For sure mate. Joe Lewis's tea lady also works for Tavistock, but I am not sure you are implying that this qualifies her to run an oil and gas company. Levy's job history is essentially running a Mr. Byrite discount clothing store and then using his friendship with Joe Lewis to blag a job...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Honestly don't think so mate. Imo, there's only two players that I think would come close, in Son and (hilariously) Timo Werner. Of the two, we only pay Werner's wage in part, and Sonny probably has a lot of bonuses built into his contract above a fairly low basic wage, like most of our lads.

    None of our players earn more than that now mate. The last ones who probably did, Kane and Ndombele, were flogged last year. But for context, for a period, Levy was paying himself more than Kane and Pochettino. His contribution to this club has been basically zero, and far, far outweighed by...

    They're both responsible, for both outcomes mate. Postecoglou, as I've said before, is a mediocre coach, and his ceiling is roughly upper midtable. Nothing else can be expected given his suicidal tactics and approach to fitness and squad preservation. But even with that, Postecoglou was Levy's...

    A few ways mate. Here's one - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1884611/tottenham-news-daniel-levy-man-utd-liverpool/amp "Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy banked more than £6million last season, making him by far the highest-paid club chief in the Premier League...

    That's what puts Deadweight Dan in a conundrum - his typical approach when under pressure has been to sack the coach and hope that fixes it. But enough people have now seen through that ploy, so he has nowhere to scurry to. @Bedfordspurs - thanks for confirming mate. Heard these banners were...

    Media finally all turning on him - while I hope results improve for the sake of the fans who have to sit through this, I hope the media continues turning on our dear leader and his boss.

    Absolutely love this, thanks for sharing mate. More and more media heads are turning on the man after all the senseless platitudes over the years of us being lucky to have him and his odious boss as our owners. Long may it continue - the sooner the scales fall from the eyes of the outside...

    Thanks for sharing mate. Hard not to feel a little emotional for the guy - he's clearly hurting from how low we've fallen under these deadweights. One day this bitter 25-year purgatory will end and we can dream again, hope again, believe again. Until then, just gotta ride it out - better days...

    It isn't just one bad season in isolation mate. Look at the pattern since Poch was sacked - it's been one season in and around the top six, one season out of it in mid-table. 6th in 19-20, 7th in 20-21, 4th in 21-22, 8th in 22-23, 5th in 23-24, and now looking on course for roughly 14th-15th in...

    Suffice it to say, I disagree mate. He's many things, but he's not stupid. He's been here 25 years and success remains as elusive as ever. We are, now, right where we were when he took over - a patchwork squad built on the cheap, prioritising young signings over readymade talent, hovering in...

    It's not a majority, yet. But I think an ever-larger percentage of fans are starting to turn on ENIC - at least, the number of folks that outright defend them have dropped significantly, and now the main argument I see around here and elsewhere is something to the tune of 'be careful what you...
