Daniel Levy - Chairman

The only permanent deals we should be doing is ones like Kinsky that we had planned for the summer but pulled forward.
Other than that we should be going for loan deals to plug a few short term gaps due to injuries.
Panic buying is going to set us back in the long term and leave us struggling to off load more unwanted players.
We've also several players coming back from loan in the summer that will strengthen the squad, especially at CB.

True. However, it won't set us back as much as relegation would.
 
Deals completed so far in the PL

Aston Villa: Donyell Malen, Andres Garcia
Bournemouth: Matai Akinmboni, Kai Crampton, Julio Soler, Zain Silcott-Duberry
Brentford: Michael Kayode
Brighton: Diego Gomez
Palace: Romain Esse
Ipswich: Ben Godfrey (loan), Jaden Philogene, Julio Enciso - Brighton (loan)
Leicester: Woyo Coulibaly
Emirates Marketing Project: Claudio Echeverri, Abdukodir Kusanov, Vitor Reis, Omar Marmoush
Notts Forest: Wayne Hennessey
Southampton: Welington, Joachim Kayi Sanda, Albert Gronbaek
Tottenham: Antonin Kinksy
Wolves: Emmanuel Agbadou

Southampton are surely too far back to have survival hopes so would seem to be already looking at players for a push for promotion from the Championship next season.
However it looks like Ipswich are trying to add to their squad to help their survival battle, that is a concern for us.
I can remember when Saudi Sportswashing Machine were in a sticky situation a few years ago they bought Chris Wood partly to massively weaken Burnley, who were their main relegation rivals. We should perhaps be trying to do that to Ipswich.

So we are about average in our January activity.

Who are Notts Forest?

Or he truly is letting Munn do his job (or not doing depending if you think Ange should go..)

If he decides to act, surely Munn’s position becomes untenable

Untenable, because he’s gone above his head and sack him? Or because he sacked the manager he chose

Levy needs to sack the manager he chose, and keep his nose out of picking a manager, he needs to appoint a DoF.
Appoints DoF.
Levy needs to sack the manager, and the DoF that appointed him.

Levy needs to do more than that. He needs take himself and folks like Collecott, Cullen, Caplehorn and make some big decisions. Levy should not be operating as a chairman and CEO. As owner, he should be the chairman and the board should hire a CEO. Tavistock should form that board with him.

That CEO might not want Collecott as his CFO, and the board should respect that. Then Levy should decide whether Collecot is senior to be a director on the board or just let him go. Ditto with Cullen and Caplehorn.

Spurs need a board of equals, not Levy yes men and women. We then need a CEO who runs the football club and is accountable to the board. That CEO does all the hiring and firing and manages the P&L and BS. Not Levy as the chairman.

Even though Levy doesn't have to, he would get more respect if he setup a standard corporate structure with a CEO and Chairman / Board. He could even hire a chairman and just be the owner.

He's not the owner, he's just a shareholder, it's a relevant distinction

Right now in my opinion is his biggest question mark, I'm really not understanding the lack of action. Of all the things he has been guilty of in the past, taking too long to make a decision is very rarely one of them.

I have no idea why Ange is still here, and if that is on Munn, no idea why he is still here.

Maybe he’s testing Munn, seeing how he handles it.

That was my point though. With the Tavistiock-ENIC relationship they do need to operate with a joint board model. Either side could nominate the chairman and they could have board members from both sides. Instead the Tavistock majority shareholder has left the ENIC only guy in charge of the board and is the acting CEO. Now it's even worse because it's the Joe Lewis Trust that is becoming the Tavistock part.

btw, why would you hire a Chief Football Officer and judge him after 18 months? You deserve nothing if you are this hasty in business, especially knowing what a brick job you did in the role yourself.

Munn needs time. So does Lange. They're not in 1st team manager roles. Their cycles are longer.

Because a club that hasn't finished lower than 8th in 17+ years is currently 15th and losing to the worst teams in the league?

Context matters but it doesn't give you a free pass. And that's the point, Levy by himself did better.
