    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    But the criticism of them seems more vocal because Levy is no longer around. Posters that afforded Levy 25 years seem uncomfortable allowing VV and Lange more than 1 season. For the record, I also want new owners. That most likely means VV and Lange will go which I’m not necessarily against, I...

    New Kit?

    My first thought is I don’t like it. But I often find the kits tend to grow on me as the season progresses. I’ve liked the majority of the kits in general since Nike started being our manufacturer. Although I prefer the away and 3rd kits as a rule of thumb as they’re more daring and innovative...

    Me too. I’d have to remove the baby seat in the back of my car but happy to accommodate.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    We had a manager in Redknapp who played attractive, free-flowing football while still maintaining a solid defensive balance, and as a result the team flourished for most of his tenure, right up until the final few months. Then Pochettino came in and united the fanbase. Once again, the team was...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I honestly don’t know the answer. The caveat is that we were still in the Champions League. I imagine Levy gave Ange more time than he normally would have because of our involvement in the Europa League, and he may well have learned a lesson from sacking a manager while still in the latter...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Numerous posters have voiced dissatisfaction of VV, Lange and the owners. I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but the underlying message seems to be “it would be so much better if we just brought Levy back”.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Maybe I’m remembering it incorrectly, but I don’t recall there being a huge amount of criticism or hostility until around 2021, when the stadium reopened after Covid, a few months after Mason took over and fans gradually started returning. By that stage, ENIC had already been in charge for more...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    A phrase I see repeated often on this forum is: “Ah well, we don’t really know what happens behind the scenes, in the boardroom, dressing room, or at the training ground, so we can’t comment.” The reality is that we’ll never be privy to every detail of what goes on inside a football club. As...

    That’s a sensible opinion. America only allows presidents to serve two terms. Even the best football coaches reach a point where the players stop listening to their ideas.

    I realise that. But your initial post highlighted poor officiating as a potential reason for costing us points, but every team (other than Arsenal) can point to that.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I think one in isolation isn’t so bad, losing out on both in a matter of weeks isn’t a good look. Reminds me of when we missed out on Willian, we then made sure we got Lamela over the line after getting our fingers burnt.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    If we're going to play the "blame the officials" game, then West Ham have every bit as much justification as we do. The goal they had disallowed against Arsenal was extremely debatable, and many would argue they were on the wrong end of a poor decision. Every team suffers from questionable...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I'm not sure what "gratitude" is supposed to look like in this context. Football supporters don't generally exist to show affection to owners or chairmen. Their relationship is with the club, the team, and the badge. Owners and executives are judged on the job they're doing, not celebrated...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I think that's a bit unfair to the fanbase. Nobody can deny that Daniel Levy has made significant contributions to the club. The stadium is world-class, the commercial growth has been remarkable, and Spurs are in a far stronger financial position than they were when he arrived. But at what...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I think it's fair to hold Daniel Levy partially responsible, but not solely responsible. For Eze, there is fairly strong reporting that we had a long-standing interest and considered him a priority target at various points. Reports suggested we explored the deal, discussed terms, and even had...

    I hope Cobolli wins. I really like him. On the women’s side, I really wanted Kostyuk or any Ukrainian to win but it wasn’t to be.

    Lets talk NBA . . .

    I hope the Spurs win but I can’t begrudge the Knicks if they finally win it after 52 years. How can you have a franchise in the greatest city in the world that is basketball mad and go that long without a championship? It’s criminal.

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    Yeah that’s bonkers. We should strive for a colourblind society. Treat people by the content of their character and not the colour of their skin. I also find Farage’s comments despicable and inflammatory. Trying to score political points from an 18 year old’s murder is scraping the barrel...

    There was only about 20 people in the stadiums. It was during Covid.
