Daniel Levy - Chairman

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 subject to a confiscation attempt by the stewards - did you see that/what's your take?

Weak sauce, that’s more than reasonable remuneration for a chair who has overseen such a huge increase in the value of the business.

If he had done the same for an investment bank or oil company he’d be on ten times as much.

Most of our players earn more than that, as have some of our previous managers.

What else you got?

Wherever you land on the Levy debate, there’s just no way he should be (reportedly) the highest paid chairman in the league.

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.

have to say the negligence of the board is alarming. as someone who's been anti levy for long, surprised he let it get to this state. Never thought despite my resentment he'd let us get to this point as he knew better. clearly not

Indeed, I thought he was a pretty average director (and certainly not worth being the highest paid in the whole league) but he isn’t even proving himself to be average.

Like I say, he has often got the timing wrong, but the managers we have appointed have been logical decisions at the time.

Jose wasn’t a logical choice, he was on the downside of his career when we got him and still is now. But when you get, why sack him 1 week before a cup final? Winning trophies against stronger opposition is Jose’s calling card.

Conte with his robust personality and tendency to want ready made players wasn’t a good fit for our club despite being undoubtedly a brilliant manager.

Nuno is a lovely bloke and I’m happy for him that he’s going so well at Forest but again, not the right man for us.

Ange is more suited to how we operate, he’s just not the right man for the job.

Iraola would be the most sensible and well-suited to how we run things but knowing Levy he will probably do a 180 and go for Dyche.

A Dyche team would grind until the end of the season, and get over the line. I'm not sure anyone from Ange down has ever been in a relegation battle.

I was in the East upper and saw them come out, then saw the stewards then go over and the banner come down.

The good news is that the Levy Out chanting is getting lots of traction mate. Even at 0-0 and 1-0 it was very evident. It was also evident that the fans are behind the team and laying the problem at the right place.

I don’t think the chairman can pull the wool over the fans eyes this time, though I suspect he’ll try to now that the calls for him to go are getting so vociferous.

None of them would give him a job mate.

A few ways mate. Here's one -

Levy's eye-watering Tottenham salary towers over Man Utd and Liverpool chiefs

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is the best-paid club chief in the Premier League.
www.google.com www.google.com

"Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy banked more than £6million last season, making him by far the highest-paid club chief in the Premier League. Levy's counterparts at Manchester United and Liverpool - Richard Arnold and Billy Hogan - each earn less than half as much."
Only a select few Premier League executives earn over £2m per year. United chief executive Arnold (£2.56m) and Liverpool chief Hogan (£2.24m) wouldn't get close to Levy even if they combined their annual salaries, according to figures released by The Times."


This, mind, after a season where we finished 8th.

It is said that when Poch went to Copenhagen in summer 2018 to see if Eriksen would sign a contract, he said the reason he would not was because of Levy. A principle. Apparantly Levy was hard-balling him over his contract, and during the negotiations, gave himself a 3 or 4 mill bonus (I might be a bit 'off' with those figures).

Here is a story fromm that time. I know you know.

Your aware he works for Tavistock who are an international investment group with interests in oil and gas right ?

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 running Tavistock's football arm as chairman of Spurs, a job he's sat in or 25 years with next to zero value provided throughout.

O&G execs are made of steelier, smarter stuff.
