    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I think we’ll be ok. The annoying thing about our CEO is that he used to run Arsenal. But for the purposes of this conversation, the good thing is that he used to run Arsenal. He isn’t coming fresh off a club with PSR breaches, he’s not joining from a place that took crazy risks for short term...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I think so much of Levy’s thinking was also shaped by not ‘doing a Leeds’ because he came into it around the time that they were risking everything and ultimately came up short. I think through his lens, the stadium was ultimately something that would mean the club was on a stable footing for...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Yeah; the funny thing looking back is that Levy just had this idea of what players were valued at. GHod knows how he came to that conclusion most of the time but he never seemed to really factor in ‘how much more successful would we be if the manager gets this player that he really wants, and how...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Totally agreed. (Although I would add that in terms of infrastructure building he’s in a different league to even the modern chairs, and the smarts required to pull that off, keep us in our postcode etc was exceptional, just a shame he couldn’t translate to the football side) The sad thing is...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    There is an absolutely FASCINATING clip I’ve just seen on talk sport where Simon Jordan is sharing that Levy texted him implying that Spurs have had their pants pulled down over the JPVH deal. Saying that it is one of the largest fees paid for a soon to be out of contract player, etc etc. And...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Yeah, well that’s the other side of it. Villa did the easier thing, the thing that we should be able to do with a more robust and sustainable platform once the stadium was built. But I don’t think Levy ever quite shifted gears enough to truly take advantage of what he had built. The foresight...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Yeah…it also makes me laugh when Villa fans get annoyed at us because of PSR, We - because of Levy - did one of the HARDEST things in football. We made an intentional decision to do a massively complex stadium project which we knew would increase our revenues but (were it for Poch) could have...

    We’re definitely moving differently and this is why I’m interested to see where a non-Levy Lewis family regime can take us. This is a great example of it.

    Luka Vuskovic

    But again, why not take a loan for a year and then re-evaluate where he stands with Spurs after a year of PL experience? That’s what I’m not following here? Why the push for a permanent move? Why the talk of ‘mutual trust’ with another manager? Are we really less likely to sell than Brighton...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Yeah, no doubt. Which then leads me to question - is the Brighton thing legit? Or is this just something to kick up enough of a fuss to get him out and straight to Bayern or something? From LV’s point of view, both from wanting to play now and wanting to end up at the elite most possible...

    Luka Vuskovic

    I may be wrong but I think I saw Ornstein backing up that Vuskovic had openness to the move and had agreed terms. The Plettigoal guy I don’t care about, but Ornstein is credible, I may have been getting people mixed up though. My point remains, LV should be perfectly happy taking a prem loan...

    Luka Vuskovic

    I have no intel other than more trusted journos indicating that he would be willing to take a permanent move there. I’m not sure if it’s a play to force our hand to get him in our side this season or whether it’s his genuine feeling. But if he was committed to us more this wouldn’t be a story...

    I feel like Brighton gets you to Liverpool / Chelsea / Arsenal, but Spurs gets you to Madrid and building the team around you.
  15. SissokoWasGood (BoL)

    Luka Vuskovic

    The alternative view of that is that Spurs are the place you go if you want to prove that you can genuinely be one of the best in the world. Modric and Bale went to Madrid after showing what they could do with us - regular European football, teams that defend deep against us, higher...

    Luka Vuskovic

    I would find this a bit odd from Vuskovic’s PoV. We signed him, we waited for him to arrive, we found him a good loan. At the same time, he did really well while we as a club did really badly. How can promises possibly have been broken seriously at this point? I think the way Vuskovic or his...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Me too. And I’m sure we’ll do that plenty under RDZ in the coming season. Felt like the league as a whole though, no one really lit it up. No one really pummelled teams the way we did at peak Poch. The winners certainly didn’t.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I ageee we didn’t really best any teams with a flurry. I guess my question is, with the way the game is now in the PL, was any team winning with flurries?

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I think you and Raziel are both arguing your case really well here. I instinctively land more on your side, but it’s been fun to read this debate. The question I have for @Raziel , is that even if we accept things weren’t that bad under Levy, that post 2019 wasn’t a clear drop, did anything at...

    The game changed around the club while we stayed the same.
