Daniel Levy - Chairman

Neville has been complimentary of him in the past and is also a club owner so I guess if he was gonna go external, this makes sense.

Hope there are some good questions though and it’s not a puff piece. In fairness, Neville asked Jim Radcliffe some tough questions.

Club that has a sugar daddy so neville naturally wants to get rid of psr.
 
I think he should have been put on the rack and had his finger nails torn out before burning him at the stake. We can then get a foreign despot with limitless dirty money to buy us the success we are owed.
 
Although I am happy to have Levy as chairman and part owner of the club I have to disagree with him about the regulator , he and his fellow conspirators did try to rip English football apart by trying to join the Euro Super League , which along with clubs like Bury going to the wall pushed the Government into action , it is he and fellow club owners that have caused a football regulator to be installed because on some issues they can't be trusted. The PL for example can't even rule against selling womens teams and hotels to yourself to evade PSR.

Fluff piece, or is there any substance to it?
I'd say there was some substance to it, in terms of getting Levy's direct thoughts on things. But he wasn't really asked any hard hitting questions, not Spurs related anyway - Neville wanted to press him on football governance matters more than anything else.

But regardless its always interesting listening to him, as he is an intelligent man very experienced in the field and in the few bits of media he has done he has always come across well. But there is nothing ground breaking coming out of this piece for sure. I noted that the interview was done a month ago, as the 50 Cent concert that the stadium was preparing for was on 3rd July....

I wouldn't say it's a fluff piece but it's not a hard-hitting interview, which I wasn't expecting it to be anyway.
Most of it is around the stadium build, and then towards the end the talk about ambitions, winning the EL, Ange etc etc., which for Spurs fans is not really telling us anything new.
What I did find interesting was listening to Levy talking about the state of the game today, what needs to be fixed in the PL, how the FA ought to have been the arbritrator to bring all elements of the football pyramid together (as opposed to the government regulation which we now have), how he thinks PSR issues will settle down in a few years. Clearly doesn't have too much sympathy for club owners that just want to invest loads of money without worrying about whether it is sustainable - taking the short-term view only.
 
Would have liked Neville to push him on why he didn’t want government intervention, he kept saying he doesn’t like it, but never explained why.

Decent piece overall though, nothing we don’t already know.

I assume there were a few no go areas. As the obvious question would have been around the failed super league and how that would have helped the wider game and pyramid that he was in support of.
My assumption is he would have felt he had to go along with it as he couldn’t see us left behind if it succeeded.

Reasonable interview but do wonder why he decided to do it now having been mainly quiet in terms of interviews in his tenure.
 
levy comes across as a businessman with long term ambitions for the league mostly.

nothing wrong with that except that for fans, there is no urgency for trophies, nothing about paying competitive wages.

he says he has nothing to do with player selection and purchases but there is a board of directors and a technical bunch who advises him on the decision, there after he wants/does whats best for the club.

Wonder if the abuse he’s taken has stung so much that he’s taken PR advice. He’s done this piece, the unseen Jordan piece and the club interview recently where he stated he wants to win the league and CL.

Levy’s always tried to maintain a dignified silence and rise above those who don’t like him. Last year, the discontent with ENIC and Levy reached a level I haven’t seen before.
