I think he's doing a very average job.
For every transfer deal where fans on here jack themselves off over how good he is for getting some ridiculous fee for some brick squad player, there are the deals where he's paid well in excess of what he should've done.
I'm not a fan of his prevarication; it's a false strategy. All this wait 'till the last minute brick: why?? It's got risk plastered all over it, and yet he does it over and over. And all the sake of potentially saving a few quid? What's so hilarious now, is that he does it so fudging often that it's now expected. Time to change tact on that 'strategy' Daniel - it doesn't fudging work.
If Levy was suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch an amazing, wonderful, jizztastic businessman...then why, under his tenure, has he not properly addressed the single most important and considerable issue at the club. The stadium. Plans are piffle, anyone can fudging plan anything - but where's his pragmatism; his desire to grasp the nettle and make solid progress? It's STILL all hot air. So, whilst other clubs around us actually take a risk, Spurs and Levy stand still and wait for the grass to grow beneth them. Because that IS what he's done on this issue: absolutely ZERO progress in the time since he took over to where we are now. As I said, "plans" don't mean fudge all; I could plan to buy Antigua...but it don't mean I have the conviction to see it through.
We've also had a couple of January transfer windows where, although very handily placed in the league, we've failed to go into the market and strengthen, in order to galvanise for the run-in. Predictably, we then find ourselves short and running on fumes towards the end. Why? What, to save a bit of cash and try and get the Champions League on the cheap? That's all it is: cheapo gonads, which ends up biting you in the arse. No balls to roll a dice and GAMBLE; he's far too risk averse for that.
He's been nothing short of brilliant in growing commercial revenue though, of that there can be no doubt and - by quite some distance - he is the best Chairman in the league at delivering on that front. I also have an admiration for how he dealt with rebuffing all of the Modric speculation last summer - that took balls; it was a risk to hang onto Modric after he'd basically called him a liar, but it paid off. I also credit him for quickly realising the mistake he'd made in appointing Juande Ramos and, although financially embarrassing and it would also make his judgement look weak, he swiftly acted to fire him. So, credit where it IS very much due.
He's NOT this Superman character that some fans like to make him out to be though. Not by a long shot. He's done some good things for the Club, but he's also made some seriously brick errors of judgement which has cost us and has set us back in our growth. Would I change him? That's a massive question, and one I could only answer if I knew the calibre of the choice he'd be up against; rest assured though, I'm not married to the idea of Daniel Levy being 'the mesiah' and I do think there could be a Chairman/Owner out there who could actually do a better job than him.
