Daniel Levy - Chairman

Wasn't there something a while ago where Tavistock took control of a club subsidiary that owned some property? I can't remember the details.

Why does it have to be that because I don't agree with everything that is written in that article I am automatically a "levy licker"??? Is it not possible to be somewhere between hating and loving (or licking as you so crassly put it) the chairman?

Please answer the question I asked - do you consider that the highly paid players who most of the fan base considered to not be worthwhile keeping, were the future of spurs?

On a linked note, do you understand that I was saying that the reason our wage bill dropped was because a few highly paid players left, and not because of a strategy to increase profits. I explained myself, which you singularly failed to do whilst calling me a levy licker, by suggesting that some of our young stars such as Bergvall and Gray are likely not earning as much as the likes of Dier was when he left.

I'd further add to his that the aforementioned Bergvall and Gray chose to join us over other teams, so I'd argue we likely made them a compelling financial offer to go with the promise of joining a club focused on bringing through young players. So hardly a sign of penny pinching is it?

I am not a fully signed up member of the Daniel Levy club, but what I am is someone who doesn't listen to the tabloid media and believe everything they write, often citing it as fact.

I have numerous issues with the way the club is run, from the ending of concessions for older fans, to the bizarre decisions which have punctuated the club's footballing strategy over the years. I also find the way we treat ex players such as Lloris and others very disappointing, but I do that based on what Lloris wrote in his own book, rather than what the daily mirror is saying about our chairman/manager /club etc.

If you are going to write an article, or cite statements as facts you need to research better. 1. Levy isn't and hasn't ever been a billionaire. 2. If you mean Joe Lewis, he's not been involved in the running of the club or it's owner for more or less two years. 3. If you feel that being the 8th richest club in the world constitutes being run into the ground then you have an odd perception of reality.

We need better from our club owners, that is irrefutable, but what your post conveys is that you can't stand people who have a different view to you on a subject, and lack the ability to have a structured and reasonable conversation about it.

No. they were not the future of Spurs.

Signing 3 under 19 year olds is not a sign of backing a manager considering the amount of experience we jettisoned. I have every hope Bergval will become world class. Gray and Moore also look excellent. Signing 3 under 19 year olds is not a statement of intent from Levy.

Levy owns roughly 30% of shares in Tottenham. He values us at 6 billion so yes he is a billionaire in the same way Musk has 400 billion. Although Levys band of white knights on here are priceless,

Spare me Sufless. I've already had my psych evaluation.

His wealth was estimated to be 450m last year. So not a billionaire and wouldn't have anywhere near the funds to make a meaningful injection of cash into us. The current worth of Levy's shares will be what they are currently trading at not some figure that's pulled out of the air. I can value my house at 1 billion, it doesn't make me a billionaire.

From what I can remember there was a couple of properties that Tavistock bought at market value from one of the club subsidiaries.

See you are now adjusting the discussion to suit your rhetoric again. We didn't have any discussion about 'backing the manager', I was referring to the article's misleading statement about our wage bill.

What did your analysis say? Doesn't play well with others?
